should I buy a 3-season cottage for STR??

[Maria Ferre]

Anyone have any thoughts on a 3 -season cottage for a STR? I'm looking at buying one in a pretty touristy lake in CT. However, I'm a little reluctant to buy in what seems like the very top of the market, over asking, cash, and also --- I'm concerned about a coming recession.

If it were year-round I could at least rent it out full time. But with a 3 -season, I'm wondering if I'll get enough STR from it if there is a recession.

I've also never managed a 3-season. Any thoughts???
