Hello, I’m Linny. I originally come from a small town in Pennsylvania, where I spent 30 years managing a lumber production facility. I didn’t travel much outside my hometown until I met my husband in 2013. He took me on a date to Geneva-on-the-Lake, and I immediately fell in love with this charming summer resort town and its friendly residents and business owners. I could see my future here.

It may sound odd, but I had never seen Lake Erie before, and I was completely mesmerized by this vast, beautiful body of water. I longed for us to own a small cottage for weekend getaways with our family. One summer, we spent hours walking through the neighborhood, and by the end of the summer in 2014, we found a cottage, made contact, and bought it the following week.

The cottage needed a lot of work, but we were up for the challenge. We spent countless hours remodeling it until it was beautiful. So many wonderful memories were created there, and seeing the happiness in the people visiting the area made me want to host others as well. We began buying small, neglected cottages, fixing them up, and now we own seven.

I love the process of remodeling each one, imagining how I want them to look and adding homey touches for our guests' comfort. I enjoy meeting the guests who choose to connect with us, but I also respect their privacy. I honestly couldn’t imagine not doing this; it feels like it was meant to be. With my early retirement in 2024, we were able to move here full-time, allowing me to focus on this work, and I love it just as much today as when we first stablished in 2022.
