You must have be an experienced TRL boater to remember the Chateau getting built. It was already there in the mid 80s. I'm fine with reasonable development but honestly I cant imagine the need for all these rental houses. See pics. This is the area around where BBP is talking about and this represents only one of these types of developments going on right now. There are at least 6-7 other areas getting developed just like this. The real kicker is most of these have neither courtesy docks or direct lake access. My guess is one of these days these resorts will fail and these will get sold off as individual homes. Is there really that much demand for rental without lake access or docks?

I think there is. Everyone I know local to me that winters in that area or has moved down there does not have a boat or even knows how to boat. If it werent for this forum I wouldnt even know about lake life down there. I probably knew 20 people down there give or take. Like YT says you have 3 types of people; those near the lake, those next to the lake ie beaches, fishing and those on the lake (I think it goes something like that).

I prefer not to see anymore people on the lake down there and even less surf boats, my boat gets beat up bad enough in the slip we rent for a week the way it is.

I'm ok with the chateau and the paddle wheel boat I think it's cool.
But this is where the regatta is held in the chateau arm and you can see more of those rental houses just above the tree line going up. I don't see why you would rent that but I'm a in the lake type guy. That Dustin was trying to explain.
Those subdivisions too me are just horrible. 1 here and there ok but not all over like it's starting to be.

When we look at rentals on VRBO, places that "sleep" 20, are usually comfortable for maybe 8 people.
