Closing up in Laporte

Many Laporte-area cabins on Garfield, Kabekona and Horseshoe lakes are closed from fall into spring. A weekly visit is the simplest way to catch a heating problem, a leak or an ice dam before it becomes a repair bill. Each winter visit ends with a property inspection report and pictures, and snow removal is available for cabins on a check plan.
