Lakestyle was founded in 2000 with one goal, to celebrate the lake lifestyle.  We do this by bringing original information and ideas tailored just for lake home and cabin owners (or those that would like to have one).  Each "issue" is full of stories that offer suggestions, tips, tricks or ideas that help you make the most of your life on the lake.  If it doesn't have special relevance to lake home or cabin owners, we won't cover it.

Our regular departments include:

• Lake Things We Like:  We scour the world for products and services that are of particular value to lake home and cabin owners and share them with you here.
• The Lakestyle Featured Home:  An in depth look into a beatiful lake home that you can use as you plan changes to your home.
• Lakestyle Gardening and Landscaping: A focus on making the most of your lakefront yard.
• Lakestyle Entertaining: What is happening in and around lakes and how you can enjoy yours.
• On the Water:  Boats, boating, docks, water toys.  If it is done on the water, you'll find it here.
• Lakestyle Getaways:  Even lake people travel.  In Lakestyle Getaways we cover travel ideas and resort reviews for those times when you leave your own shore.  
• At the Cabin:  Just for those that have a lake home as their cabin or cottage. 
• Lakestyle Q&A:  Got a lake related question?  We'll get you an answer.  

Lakestyle FAQs:

Q: How does the online version of Lakestyle Magazine work? 

A:  Freed from the long production schedule and other limitations of print, Lakestyle releases "issues" on as the information becomes available and is pulled together into an "issue".  Other than that, Lakestyle Magazine online is just like the print version.  Full of original stories with great photography.

Q: What is an "issue"

A:  An "issue" is a batched release of a group of stories much like an offline magazine.   

Q:  How often will an issue be "printed"

A:  No more frequently than once a week and no less frequently than quarterly.  We will release an issue of Lakestyle when there are enough related and interesting articles to batch into a single release.  Generally, this will be monthly but during the spring and summer, it may be as frequently as weekly while in the winter months (when many cabins are closed and many lakes frozen) there may be only one issue each quarter.

Q:  If the schedule isn't set, how will I know to visit lakestyle.com to see new content? 

A:  You can visit as frequently as you like (and we certainly hope you do whenever you have a lake related question) but to make it easier we will send out an email summary with each issue.  Click here to get on our complementary update list.   Here is our commitment to you:

1.  Your email address will never be sold, rented or given to anyone.

2.  You will receive no more than one issue update per week. 

3.  You can stop the updates at any time, forever.

Q:  What does it cost to subscribe?

A:  Lakestyle online is free.  In the event that we publish a print version when the economy improves, we'll let you know.

Q:  I have:

• A story idea
• A product or service that is of interest to lake home and cabin owners
• A question or comment

       What should I do?
