My hubby plus I recently retired, plus the people I was with and I entirely wanted to purchase a beach cabin or a lodge as a way to get out of humanity for awhile plus rejuvenate. Every one of us looked around at many strange lodges plus beach houses, but the people I was with and I ended up going with a nice lodge on the lake. I am so ecstatic with our decision. Since the people I was with and I bought it, the people I was with and I have stayed out there three times. It’s far enough away from the city that it’s completely private, yet it’s close enough to the that the people I was with and I can drive to the grocery store or to a nice restaurant in a half hour. Something that the people I was with and I weren’t prepared for is the price of heating the arena. Of course, during the summer season, no heat is needed, but in the fall plus Winter, it is easily cold where the people I was with and I live, plus heat is necessary. Every one of us would love to travel out to the lodge during the Winter weeks, but the people I was with and I simply don’t have the time. Just because the people I was with and I aren’t there doesn’t mean that the people I was with and I can keep the heat off though. If the people I was with and I turn off the heat completely, the pipes will freeze plus cause another whole problem that the people I was with and I don’t want. My hubby has figured out the lowest temperature that the people I was with and I can possibly keep it at without the pipes colds. Because of this, it hasn’t been outrageously lavish, but it’s still a bit more than the people I was with and I were expecting. Every one of us have considered Winterizing it, but some of our kids want to spend their Christmas trip out there. I suppose everything comes with its hidden cost, even though I hope the people I was with and I can figure out a way to save some money on our new lodge.
