Owning a cabin and young children

I’ve been wanting to own a lake cabin for as long as I can remember. I finally feel like my wife and I are, financially, in a spot to seriously consider this in a year or two.

That being said, my wife brought up some great points yesterday. We have a 1.5 year old and another on the way with hopes for a third one day down the road. Our weekends are already insanely busy with kid/family responsibilities and I work one weekend a month. Her concern was that at this stage of our lives if we got a cabin we would barely be able to go enough to enjoy it. And when we did, we would be too busy with upkeep to actually relax.

Has anyone purchased a cabin with young kids? Was it worth it? Would you do anything different?

Can this be modified

Would like to modify this to heat us during chilly mornings or evenings during seasonal use. Existing 6" stove pipe through the roof. Thoughts?

Hi, do you guys think this would fit the aesthetic of a modern cabin? Chainsaw carving btw

She’s taking shape!

Just started the framing for my A Frame build in Michigan.
