I am doing well with renting to people within a 3 hours drive who are going stir crazy with their kids.They come to our lake house and can still work remotely, do their school work online and play on the lake.Better to be on vacation than in lock down.I have been offering deals to extend people who are currently staying when I have availability.I have been doing ok with back filling cancellations so far.
