About the host

Hosted by Veronica Wright

Host profile image
Hello! Welcome to The Lancaster Water Lily -- we purchased the property in 2018 and have enjoyed sharing this lovely place with many families and a truly wonderful northern Michigan experience.

I (Veronica) was born and raised in the Detroit area. I graduated from Grosse Pointe South High and attended MSU. My husband, Randy, and I met while counselors at Camp Walden - just a few minutes SE of Cheboygan.

We now live in Omaha, Nebraska. Randy is an attorney. I taught school and stayed home with our four children. They're all grown and married now and we have 7 grandchildren.

Why they chose this property

We had always wanted to have a cottage and northern Michigan holds special memories for us. We love sharing this special place with you. Our hope is that your family will find that a stay at the Water Lily will bring your family together in a new and relaxing environment. Enjoy the time together to play games, use the boats and see the many sites northern Michigan offers.

What makes this property unique

The Lancaster Water Lily has a special, quintessential cabin feel. Completely made of rough hewn logs, it boasts a rock fireplace and vaulted ceilings that add loads of charm. It is comfortable yet rustic. The lake views are inspiring and peaceful, the feeling is uniquely Michigan.
You won't find a better place to vacation.

Welcome to Northern Michigan!
Randy and Veronica Wright
