Fresh water and a short summer. The season is sharper than the beaches and runs the same way.
Through the year
Median of these 5Cheapest to priciest of the 5All destinations median of 40
Nightly lodging for a property sleeping four. The band spans the cheapest
and the most expensive of the 5 each month, so its width is the disagreement between
them.
The typical lake runs $235 a night across the year, against $295 for the library as a whole.
They are not one price. Door County, WI averages $197 a night and Lake Tahoe, CA/NV averages $304 — 1.5× the difference, for the same kind of trip.
As a group they are cheapest in January and most expensive in July, a 39% swing on the median.
Season matters far more at some than others: Traverse City, MI swings 75% between its cheapest and most expensive months while Door County, WI moves only 21%.
Every month of the year, this group is cheaper than the library median.
Per night is the average of twelve monthly rates for a property sleeping
four, so it is lower than a July quote and higher than a January one. A week for eight
adds lodging at the larger property size and the daily spend for eight people, and is
rounded because it is several estimates multiplied together.
