I think renting places should be the first step--my wife and I purchased a seasonal camp last year, and we love it. BUT, I really would like to be up there this winter, even though we thought we wouldn't mind a little home time. Also, having people around us was important--we learned through another errant family member who moved into the wilderness that people aren't always going to visit, so having the party at the lake is better than bringing the party to the lake. Just a couple thoughts.
