With an ever increasing number of our buyers hoping to find a seasonal home or full time residence vs. a weekend cottage, the need for well insulated dwellings with finer finishes is increasing. Many of the individuals looking to retire to our area do not want to give up all the creature comforts they may enjoy in their current home, and would also like to embrace the classic up north lodge "feel". There are some great properties out there that fill both needs! Here are three great examples.
