Adirondack Style Lodge - Minuten vom Keuka Lake, Weingüter.

My grandparents came to the US in 1903 & 1908 through the port of Baltimore from Poland. After living in Illinois, and Alabama, they moved to NY and purchased the original family farm in November of 1934. My father grew up there but over the years, his family struggled to pay the high property taxes that NY is known for. In order to continue to retain the farm, his family would split off a small portion of it, build a cabin and sell it to keep the remainder of the farm going.

I grew up down the road on my parents farm which they purchased after being married in1950. Six children were raised on this farm and my brother still lives there to this day.

I didn't want the life of a farmer. I love farming but I saw the long days my parents worked to support a family of 8 with little if any time off. I wanted to travel and see the US and the world. So, I headed off to college and went to school full time and worked a full time night job to pay my tuition. On weekends, I had a 2nd job and working both allowed me to graduate debt free. I took a position as an engineer who worked on CAT Scans/MRI's until a work accident left me permanently partially disabled in1992. I was out of work 18 months and told I'd never work again but coming from tough stock, that wasn't an option for me. So I joined my sisters' start up company in Rochester and was employee number 5. We took the company all the way to being a Rochester NY Top 100 company and it grew to over 120 employees before being sold to a public company in 2012.

That's the year (2012) my wife and I started our own company in Rochester with my sister Nancy. We began with 12 employees and have 28 now. While getting closer to retirement and not trusting the stock market, we decided to invest in the area I grew up in. The first thing we did was purchase the cabins (that my family built) which were part of the original family farm and began renovating them so you can also enjoy the history & beauty of this area.

This cabin is very private and secluded. Everything is new so you can just enjoy your stay without any hiccups or problems. This is the first of five cabins we are renovating and the location is perfect for a couples weekend get away or a week or two family vacation.

My wife and I come from blue collar families. Her Dad was a contractor and mine farmers. We love this area and its rich scenic and rural culture and didn't want to see the countryside be bought up for developments. We were willing to take a chance by investing our savings in restoring these wonderful rural cabins and cottages I grew up around.

We are 3rd generation owners of our families property and we hope to pass it down to our children so they can be 4th generation stewards of the land. We now have five grandchildren, so who knows, we hope it can be passed on to the 5th generation when they are old enough.

Tin roof is wonderful to listen to when its raining and the complete pine interior, with bamboo hard wood flooring and tile bathroom and shower give a very comfortable and homey feel. Sit in front of the fireplace with a glass of wine or beer and talk over the days events before cooking a nice dinner on the outside grill before retiring in the loft for a restful nights sleep.

Our cabins are in the middle of the Finger Lakes with so many activities only minutes away. Why stay in a hotel when you can have your own cabin for basically the same price.
