We have a lake house near a University and we set our minimum stay to 4 nights @$600 per night.

My personal favorite area to invest in are Chimney Rock/Lake Lure, where I own a couple STRs.

We are hoping to find a place that can be used both in the summer (we are considering a lake house) and in the winter (within 30 min from a ski resort).

There is a location where like minded investors gather in Lake forest every month that you should check out.

Hi everyone, I am looking in the Greenwood Lake , NY area.

Given all the info/ data about the inevitable inflation coming our way, if not already here, and I concern about the STR investment.The STR deals that I am looking into is near a very visited park/lake, where STR continues to grow, but I am afraid that this STR factor is too risky as it is very linked to the waves of the economy.

I bought a cabin on a lake in vermont in 2000. 

My dock and water toys are part of renting the lake house.

@Brian Fouts do you have any concerns with "Black Swan" risk of the insurance company losing your money through malinvestment?
