Our
Story
Get to Know Us
We Wan Chu Cottages began as a family dream in 1970, when Ursula and Hans started welcoming guests to the lake through Modern Cottages by Wiemer. Their goal was simple: create a place where families could slow down, reconnect, and enjoy time together on Chautauqua Lake.
​
As their family grew, so did their vision. They expanded with the addition of We Wan Chu Cottages in 1979 and We Wo Ka Cottages in 1980, welcoming generations of families back year after year.
​
Today, the tradition continues with their son, Peter, who proudly owns and operates the cottages. In 2025, we celebrate 55 years of creating cherished family memories along the shores of Chautauqua Lake.
