[quote=Anonymous]The other cabin owner with the remote place here.  I do know what the Minnesota person is talking about.

Our driveway is over a mile long.  So, no, the guy from down the street doesn't come by to shovel it out for us.  When windstorms come through, nobody comes by to cut all the trees off the driveway.  That's why my DH and I both own chain saws.  It's not a matter of lack of cash or not doing work up front.  There is no one to hire for those things.  Cutting one tree down doesn't stop another one from falling.

This, of course, applies only if you buy somewhere remote.  That's why I said OP needed to think about these things.

In terms of rental, we don't rent our place out.  My in-laws have a second home at the beach which they own with friends, and just sharing with friends was enough to give us an idea of whether we would really want somebody else in our house.  We don't.  We do lend it out to friends and family, but we never rent it.

It works for us, and especially for my DH.  Going into it, though, I did not think about these things in advance.  I'm not sure I could have gotten him on board with buying something more like I was thinking, but I didn't try very hard at the time.[/quote]
