Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2008
We purchased Celebrations & Sunsets Cottage in 2008 after looking for Cottages within a 5 hour radius of Cincinnati. I am from Upstate NY and grew up on Lake Ontario. My best childhood memories are spending time on the water with my family, having smores, and catching small fish with my grandfather. I love that other families are creating memories at Celebrations & Sunsets cottage.
Why the Owner Chose Celina
We chose to buy at Grand Lake St. Marys because it is so close to Cincinnati and because of the length and type of summer season versus the more northern (too short) or southern (too hot) lake options. The Celina and St. Marys area is a rural and quiet setting with extremely friendly people. When we come here we can sit out on the paver patio or in the glassed/screen in porch and look out on the water and be completely relaxed. We enjoy water sports out on the Lake and can enjoy them with ease as there are never too many boats out on the water. We love that we can dock our boat and kids can swim right in front of our cottage.
