OUR STORY
The business was started by my paternal grandmother and grandfather in about 1900 when they built Minglewood for their personal summer home and offered my grandmother's uncle's hunting lodge for rent. Over time, they built other houses in the field along the lake and my grandfather planted white pines between each of the houses. Cherrybank, Minglewood, Tuckaway (which eventually became their home and office) Ripple Bay, Mirror Cove, Fernwood and Pinebrook ... I remember there was a sign on the corner of River Road (a dirt road) and Route 73 in Severance which read "Dobbs Cottages." -Helen Wildman
LAKE PARADOX CLUB TODAY
Kelley Waleski and her husband Jess oversee the current management of Lake Paradox Club, with the help of their children, Gwen and Max. They reside in the house named "Back Beyond" at 79 River Road. Kelley, along with her husband and children represent the 5th and 6th generations of family members involved with running The Lake Paradox Club. They have a great respect for the family traditions and memories that are part of the experience of staying here and truly enjoy the folks who come back year after year.
“Nothing beats sitting on the porch in Cherrybank! Our dad loved watching the lights of the cars reflecting off the lake each evening. My mom simply loved the beauty of it all! They are no longer with us, but when we return each year, we all feel their presence.”
