Canada was a little different...cabins with boats and plenty of walleye....still rental. What a life!!
We’ve thought about buying a vacation home on the water, but why pay for something that we’d only use a couple of weeks a year, and have to worry about upkeep and security?
Renting makes much more sense unless you’re out there most weekends. With our bass boat, we can visit rivers and lakes not too far from our house. When we lived north of here, it was more convenient.
