Sisson's Resort (First)
John Sisson built and expanded his first resort on land that extended from the Phillips' House/AmericInn Fiasco Site to the Little St. Express convenience store. The entire stretch of land extended to the Little St. Germain Lake shoreline. He sold this resort and built Sisson's Resort (Second). Note that the First and Second in parenthesis are ours to designate which resort we are describing.

Sisson Resort (Second)
This is the second Sisson's Resort built on West Bay of Little St. Germain Lake by John Sisson. The first photograph is part of the dining room. If you look at the enlargement, you will see a photograph of a couple on the far wall in the next room. These are believed to be John Sisson's parents. The second photograph is of the main lodge as taken from the lake.
The third picture was the main house where John Sisson lived. This is a very early photograph as must have been taken within a few years of when the resort was built. It served as a store for the resort and also our first post office and Margaret Phillips was our first postmaster. This building still exists today as seen in the next photograph.
Walter Perk eventually purchased this resort and renamed it Perk's West Bay Resort. Walter built a house and garage to live in when he ran the resort. The David L. Clark Realty Building was Walter's house and Cathy's Ice Cream and Candy Shoppe was his garage. The resort was later sold to John Armentrout, who dropped the Park's and left the rest of the name as West Bay Resort. Perk's house and garage were then sold the David and Cathy Clark and John moved back into the original Sisson house. As you can see it has been remodeled here and there through the years and there are large trees around it.

Stiemke's Resort
Ervin and Sandra Stiemke purchased this resort on South Bay of Little St. Germain Lake in the very early 1970's. They operated it for many years, but the cottages are now sold to individual owners.
