Depth Question

Hi all,
I am relatively new to the lake; this is our second year on it, and we are finally looking for a house to buy. We have found a few houses that look good, however, I have concerns about whether my boat is even able to get to them. I guess my question is, should I be worried about my boat getting through a shallow spot to get to the dock? For example, there is a place in Morrison Cove. My boat has a draft of 20 without engines, so I bet 25 inches max with the engines trimmed up to be safe. For any of those who own a house on the lake and have a dock, is it tricky to get there? Do I need to cheek it out with my boat once the season starts?
Anything helps, thanks!
