It seems that owning a country cabin is definitely popular in our area; over the years I have listed and
sold hundreds of them. It is not unusual to sell some cabin several times every few years. Who owns all these cabins? Deer hunters, trout fisherman, weekend city folks and also many local people who just want a little patch of ground out of town. The vast majority of the cabins are owned by out-of-Towner's who come here from Chicago, Milwaukee, Madison or the Twin Cities, as well as, many other places. I have sold cabins to trout fisherman as far away as California and Boston Massachusetts. The reasons owners sell are varied, such as wanting to move up to a larger cabin, or sometimes the owners love it here so much they sell the cabin and buy a year round country home. Other reasons are they no longer use it as much, their children have grown and are now too busy with other activities or they just have moved to far away to come out here anymore. I find the time frame of ownership is around 3-5 years. Over the years in the realty business, it has been a rewarding experience selling weekend recreational property. Many cabin owners have become my close friends and it is always fun to get to know them and help them get settled into their little piece of paradise. I don't think there are any figures on how many cabins are located within Vernon County, I would bet there are more cabins than homes! It is often sad to see the owners sell; then on the other hand it is great to meet and make new friend with the next new owner!

Your cabins are so neat! This blog reminded me of my blog about a cabin in the woods and how I messed up. If you've never read it, read it. I should have kept my mouth shut.
