Like above, its all in the heart not the brain. If you can swing it financially (including getting those three kids thru college) it is a great experience especially if you want to live there in retirement. I think you would end up spending well over 12 weeks there. The lake is great April-October and if you like winter all the better. Each month brings changes from ice out, to pure peace in May/June (except for the black flies), the summer chaos when vacationers arrive and lake floods with watercraft, to pure peace in September/October again when the majority of people are gone. I have never regretted it. It is however a good deal of work owning two homes and maintaining them. There are plenty of weekends when I get back to work on Monday having worked my butt off all weekend and had little time to relax. Good outweighs the bad though...........
