Today’s Lake Houses Ain’t What They Used To Be and This Cedar Creek Beauty Is Proof
For any Millennials and GenZers out there reading, you should know lake houses haven’t always been what they are today. This author personally recalls many summers in the ‘90s at a family friend’s converted Army barracks “lake house,” which was essentially one giant room with linoleum floors, 14 cots, a kitchen, one bath with a curtain door, and an umbrella stand full of fishing poles by the door.

Now that you mention it, a hoe came in handy, too, for the occasional sssssslithering sssssstranger who found a way inside.)
