Have you stayed there for any extended length of time. I hear it is pretty isolated as far as surrounding cities, you have to drive for miles and miles to get to the next city.
That’s just what I hear. If you want isolation, I guess that is good. Not that you are isolated neighbor-wise. The lake looks pretty well developed with lots of housing everywhere, even as large as it is.
I used that cabin as a primary residence when I built a project in southern Missouri.
Got snowed in once but so did most of the county with 22 to 36” of snow on the road in one day.
My side of my little branch cove had only 3 of 8 cabins with full timers. The other 5 were weekenders used mostly in the warm weather. If my dock breaks loose from the ice, I will get a call from one of the guys after they throw a temp cable on it.
Like anyplace you might hear about some kids breaking into a place a couple of miles away, but that happens in towns, villages and suburbs.
The lake roads are generally paved but some cabins are not served by asphalt the last 500 yards or so. Mine is on asphalt.
We have fire hydrants now but that is fairly new. It takes about 1.5 miles and 200 foot of elevation gain to get back to the state highway. From that intersection, there is a big grocery seven miles south, a pharmacy five miles north, an urgent care clinic, a fire station, my boat service guy, and a police station all within 5 miles of that junction.
Some people have longer drives.
It takes me 35 minutes to get to a WalMart when I am down there.
