Same as @John Underwood, @Diaz Principe Nicolas.I would love to get more off season bookings but there ins't much call for a iced in lake house with a foot of snow on the ground and the lake being frozen over.It is fun to see how many turkeys end up on the deck and to watch if wolves use the frozen lake to move around.

Renting in these areas with a roommate or two will likely be less expensive than PITI in the 'less fun' suburbs.If you do decide buying when you move down here, I'd take a few trips and spend a week or so down here to help narrow the search.
