Alissa Pekrul was born and raised in Miami, FL where she met her husband, Will Pekrul, while attending FIU. They moved to Will's hometown, St. Petersburg, after college and created a family.

Alissa's family has owned their current property in Cherry Creek for about 8 years. They started to fully operate cabins in 2020 when Alissa and her husband moved to NY State. Since that time, the property has become a vacation destination and a sought-ought wedding venue. Alissa is excited to share her business journey with Rotarians and guests!
