Why “lakeplace" and not “cabin" living?
Because everyone’s place on the lake is a different type of structure. A "lakeplace" can range from a small, simple cabin that offers no more than a roof and a few amenities, to an elaborate fully-functioning second home. People usually think of a lakeplace as a nicer structure than a cabin but “lakeplace” does encompass all types of structures. "Cabin" usually means a smaller building. At Lakeplaceliving.com the structure is not the focus; the living we do there is the focus. Lakeplace is the destination you have that holds a special place in your heart because you relax when you are there --taking in the water, sun and trees, and you can pause the treadmill of life for a bit.
