Thank you all for these great tips! At least two places got recommended by two or more posters, so I'll definitely check them out. Also the two rental agencies.
A little question about the Lake area in late July/August: Mosquitoes
? I'm sure they're there but how bad? The answer's probably: Just get used to using the insect-repellant.
Anyway I appreciate the help and I'll try to close out the thread when we make a final decision on our destination. Probably not until August though.
