About the host
Hosted by Mark Wernowsky
The cottage was renovated in the spring of 2019. It was previously owned by our sweet, kind elderly neighbors who lived here their entire adult lives, until moving to a retirement home. We were their neighbors for 20 years.
We have always lived in the Quincy area; only moving away in the early 90s for a job transfer for two years but couldn’t wait to get back. We have been married for 40 years, raised 7 wonderful children and now enjoying 18 grandchildren. We have so enjoyed this area for the past 25 years and are excited for our guests to experience what the area has to offer!
Mark works in the financial business while Debbie is a homemaker. We most enjoy cooking together and having our children and grandchildren to our home to enjoy meals together.
