Great info and perspectives, all, thanks! While I got the impression that Door County has activities year-round, I take it that it's not like Telluride [alert: commercial beginning!), where we not only have festivals and outdoor activities, but lots of people attending them! Blue skies and mountain-dry air make long, cold winters much more attractive, I guess.  (Plus world-class skiing.) 

FYI, it's a six hour-plus from the Denver Airport to Telluride, but that doesn't discourage our investors. But the scale of the West is different. Anyway, I think the idea of an inexpensive place on the water is still attractive, for ourselves -- but I get it -- not for the ROI.

Having just spent a lovely weekend in Door County, Wisconsin and coming from the (comparatively -- okay, absolutely) pricier vacation spot of Telluride, CO, I'm wondering why such a charming set of waterside villages within driving distance of Chicago, Milwaukee, etc., should be so inexpensive! 2 bed/2 ba condos, well-maintained with apparently good rental histories, are going for $75-125k! (Add a zero or two for Telluride.)
