Sure, it’s good to be prudent. And hard-working couples, especially those with with young children, may not have a lot of extra time or money. Someday, after they’re retired and their children are grown and gone, they’ll have plenty of both.
But instead of waiting for someday, right now is a great time to begin building memories at your cabin or lake home. And at this stage of your life, there’s no need to skip directly to the luxury lake home where you plan to live out your retirement.
If you’re ready, I’d be glad to show you a couple of those dream lake homes; I’m listing a few of them right now. But I can also show you some surprisingly affordable alternatives. You might call them “starter cabins.”
Sure, you may need to make a few compromises. But when your kids grow up, they won’t remember that the kitchen in your cabin didn’t feature high-end stainless steel appliances. They’ll remember roasting marshmallows and making s’mores down at the campfire. They won’t remember that your cabin wasn’t on the biggest lake with the biggest muskies. They’ll remember the four-inch bluegills they caught from the end of your dock.
Maybe someday is today. And if this year is the year, it’s not too early to get started right now. Here’s why: It may take us a while to find the lake and the cabin that are just right for you. Figure a little negotiating before you have an accepted offer, and then typically about another 60 days until the actual closing can take place. This means that if you’d like to start enjoying weekends at your new cabin this summer, it may not make sense to launch your search in May or June.

Maybe you’re thinking of buying a cabin up here in Northwestern Wisconsin. And maybe, it could be that using or living in your cabin year-round is part of your long-range plan.
Your plan might be a good one. But be realistic about whether your cabin is a three-season, 3.5 season, or four-season cabin. In some cases, insulation upgrades and retrofits can be tough. If you are financing the purchase, lenders can be very specific about the type of cabin they will finance. Generally, they won’t finance a three-season cabin. But talk to your lender about what they can finance.
Be realistic, too, about how big that cabin is. Even if it’s great for a long weekend, is it really big enough for seven days a week, twelve months a year? Can even two people live in it without getting cabin fever? Is there storage room?
Next, think outside the cabin box. Can a new garage with a shop and extra storage solve those problems? Can you add on? (Don’t forget, though, to check your local zoning and waterfront setback regulations. They could limit your options.)
I’d be glad to help you find a cabin for now—and maybe even for later. And maybe your current cabin is the best long-term solution. But if trading up is an even better solution, give me a call. I can help you sell your current cabin and help you find a lake home that’s just right.

In all the years I’ve been in this business, no one has ever told me they wish they’d waited another ten or fifteen years to buy their lake home or cabin.
