Lovely slide show, I feel like I have been there! A completely different look than the lakes around North Idaho.

Dare to dream that one day I will live near the water. Lake, ocean. I don't care. Just being near water would be so calming.

Andrea -- Candlewood Lake is a lovely area to buy property. I really enjoyed your video as it depicts the lake in the WARM weather. It definitely took me back to last summer's WARMTH when I was around that area a few times. You're right. The Lake provides something for everyone and for every budget.

Janna, it is different. I always love your photos of the lakes there, different but both are fantastic!

Chris Ann, I am with you. I would love a house on the ocean first, lake second, river third, pond is good too!

Carla, isn't it? There are some really great estate homes on the lake.

Barbara, I agree, and so many love to be there. And there truly is something for every budget! Thank you.

Hi Andrea! I REALLY like this and can see that it would certainly appeal to consumers. You've inspired me to try something a little different and make some community YouTubes. :o)
