Along with our nightly lodging in Rockland (TheBluff), we also have another way for regulars to put their "heads in their beds" when they visit. I am going to have 1 or more openings coming up soon that I would like to fill. Here is the "scoop".....
2 bedroom apartment(s) in Mass City for rent, at the former lumber/hardware store. I do this on an annual basis (you rent for the entire year). It is your place. You furnish it, come and go as you please...year round. Your apartment is metered for electric by itself, you pay that bill along with rent each month. There are a total of 5 apartments, plus a group that rents the former store area too.
I have 4 groups that do this currently, most have been doing this for several years. I am told that for 4-6 guys, this becomes a very affordable option even for just the winter months. It is your second home. You can send Uncle Joe and Aunt Sally up for a weekend at your place or whatever. I know one group had an old high school friend that had not taken a vacation in years as they could not afford it....they sent them up and the family had a blast.
Some of the groups sublet out during times they are not using the apartment to further offset costs. When I have overflow in my nightly, I have given passed along contact info to groups that want to sublet to make a couple bucks. It all works very nicely.
I think all of the guys I have are regular johndee'ers. I will not mention names but I will invite any of them to chime in (as well as the guys that no longer rent this way...you too!) on how this arrangment works for them. I think all would agree it is a pretty cool way to do have a place for very little money. I charge everyone the same amount, if you are interested, please shoot me an email at mattw@wiesen.com.
I have a small amount of sled storage on site for a small fee and Plutchaks next door has storage in the former lumber building.
My son and his family live in one and it looks like they will be closing on a home purchase soon and will be moving. I also have a full time resident that I possibly will be moving. If you regularly ride with a group of people, this is worth looking into.
And from a snow-kermudgon like myself, this areas rocks in the 8 non-snow months each year. Atvs are legal on almost all county roads, there are hundreds of miles of legal atv trails, 15 miles to Lake Superior where you can go to one of the many accessible beach areas...build a fire and watch the sun go down.
Hope to hear from you!!
