[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here, to clarify- the two cabins are 90 mins apart on separate lakes. We'd likely buy around my parents cabin because its an hour door to door from our house, in laws is 2.5 hours.

Other answers to questions:
-We do travel a lot. Our 5yo has been to 6 countries and our 2yo has been to 3.
-We are not rich, but live in a MCOL area with great public schools. HHI $330k with room for growth, $2000 PITI on our house, no other debt outside of our mortgage, won't be paying for private schools or anything, one more year of childcare for our youngest then that's behind us. The cabins we are looking at are like $200k. 
-We both WFH and have pretty flexible jobs so our hope is even when the kids are in sports we could do day trips or even day trips while they're at school (which we have been doing often as we've been looking at properties). We can both block off a Friday or Monday on our schedules and work extra the other days if needed and it's no big deal. 
-Currently, we are going to one cabin or the other probably 2 weekends per month in the summer and 1 weekend per month the rest of the year (we also sled, ski, ice fish, snow mobile). We'd definitely use it.

Agree we learned our lesson about sharing info with our parents.[/quote]

It sounds like a god option for you! However, given your dynamic with controlling parents/in-laws I would worry about being voluntold to let your family members take over your lake house.

Really think about the boundaries you would need to enjoy the house. Be realistic if you can do that. [/quote]
