We are most likely going to sell the other lake house. I really liked being there when it was just my husband and me. I loved the size of it and how easy it was to keep clean, but if any of the other family members were there, it was just too many people for the space. We were just on top of each other when we were not outside. Rainy days were awful. I will miss it and our neighbors, but I think I will be okay after a while.

We were adding on this fall, before we saw this other house hit the market, and it was what we had been looking for for over five years. We just got the little house because it was available, it was beautiful there, and it had the space, plus it was built in a way that it would be easy to add on to. Good lake houses that are not over a million dollars are very hard to come by within a few hours' driving distance of us in three states.
