About Mary Dilsaver
Dave & Mary grew up and still live in Bowling Green, OH. Dave worked for Owens-Illinois/Techniglas for 35 years before retiring, and Mary worked as a secretary at Bowling Green State University for 25 years before her retirement. She still works part-time. The cabin was hand built by Dave's Uncle Joe and cousin Mark. We purchased the cabin where we had spent many happy vacations over the years when Uncle Joe passed away. We still enjoy spending time there with our children and grandchildren, and we love sharing it with others who appreciate the quiet country life it affords.
Mary Dilsaver purchased this cabin in 2004
Why Mary Dilsaver chose Winchester
The cabin is perfect for a couple who want some quiet time away. There are neighbors close by, but in the summer the trees screen the view and you feel like you are alone out in the country, except for the occasional boat that comes by. You can't even see the road from the cabin. The birds and especially hummingbirds are plentiful, and there are deer, squirrels, and chipmunks that you will often see in the trees. Even the neighbor dogs are friendly, and sometimes swim across the cove to visit.
What makes this cabin unique
The cabin is unique since it was built by hand. It is small, but oh so cozy. There is a swing on the deck, overlooking the lake, and another swing down by the dock. We spent many happy vacations there with our family before purchasing the cabin in 2004. You will find everything you need already there, from sheets and towels to dishes, pots and pans and utensils. We supply soap and shampoo, dishwashing liquid, and paper towels. You'll find ketchup, mustard, and mayo in the fridge, and coffee ready to go into the coffeepot. All you really need to bring is your clothes. We want our guests to just relax and enjoy their time at the cabin, not worry about everything they need to bring. And there is a Walmart Supercenter and a Kroger just a couple of miles away where you can pick up anything else you might need. Also there are many wonderful restaurants in Winchester, so you don't really need to cook at all if you want a real vacation from everyday chores. You will need to bring your own wood if you want to have a fire in the outdoor fire pit.
