Team Lodging
Our Story
The story of the Lake House Marina and Boat Lodging begins before we even opened our doors in the Spring of 1997. Our story begins in the early 1970's in the Newport NY area where we built ponds for fishing and recreation. We both had a passion for travel and boats. We saw marinas filled with beautiful boats that rarely saw any use. Thus an idea was born; rent out privately owned boats to the public as a bed and breakfast. After running two successful Hotel locations in Richfield Springs. We decided to locate team families on Boats for Dreams Park and All Star Village for our third location on Canadarago Lake! As avid boaters, Gene and Chris enjoy sharing their passion for the water with their guests. Together, they strive to offer a welcoming and relaxing retreat and often think of their guests as friends. When not on the dock, they also enjoy the company of their grand children.
The Lake House Marina and Boat Lodging is more than just a place to rest your head at night, we are an experience. Since our inception we have been fortunate to expose our guests to a lifestyle that many dream of, but few experience. If you are looking for a modern, sleek hotel.. this isn't it. If you are seeking a Victorian, antique-filled bed and breakfast... this isn't it ! Our boats are real, operational vessels, most are from the early 1920's thru the 1960's and are fully operational. We use the new bath house for sanitary facilities. Whether you choose to spend one night or an entire week with us, you will feel the world just slip away as you become lulled by the gentle lapping of water on the hull of the boat, the distant sounds of seagulls and the smell of the fresh air.
