1. All interest on a conventional loan for a second home or vacation home is fully tax deductible. We have all the documentation regarding the deductibility of a second/vacation home.

2. Using our on-site rental management system, you can quickly recover the full monthly cost by renting out your houseboat on days/weekends or holidays that you cannot be at the property. You may actually profit from your investment.

3. This is THE most affordable type of waterfront living/recreation available. If you price riverside or lakeside property, the cost of the land and improvements alone would exceed our offer. That is exclusive of building a home or obtaining financing to do so.

4. Owning a luxury houseboat also precludes the payment of property tax, since you are classified as a boat owner, not a landowner. So the total cost annually is far less than having a cabin somewhere, waterfront or not.

5. The Trail's End Resort and Marina provides the property maintenance, so there is no need to pay contractors to keep the weeds and grass mowed or the parking in good repair. All facets of the resort are maintained for continuous pleasurable use. When you arrive to enjoy your time on the water, you do not need to worry about performing outdoor chores.

6. The resort has one low monthly payment which includes all the maintenance AND your water, electric, cable, phone and internet. Were you to have to contract for these separately at a vacation home or cabin you would spend even more.

OTHER REASONS to consider:

By owning at the Cove at Trail's End Resort and Marina, your houseboat slip is right on the Chattahoochee River/Lake Seminole. With its private entry dock and the ability to dock your boat against your houseboat, you save even more time and money. You do not have to load a truck just to launch your boat each visit, nor drive a distance to a launch ramp. You can gather everything in your houseboat and leisurely load your boat. This is a much more enjoyable way to start your day on the water. Should you want to remove your boat from the water for extended periods, we have long-term dry storage available adjacent to the parking area.

By living right on the resort property you also have a selection of activities for the children or grandchildren when they don't want to join you on the water. Families can experience a wonderful vacation filled with playful fun even if they don't fish! From biking, and walking trails, to tennis, volleyball, the playgrounds, pool and clubhouse, there will be something for children of every age. New friendships will be made and your family will truly enjoy the time they spend at Trail's End.

The first time you sit on your own private porch, grilling your catch or just sipping drinks with your family, you will be able to watch sunsets most people only dream about. Part of the joy of ownership is knowing you can return often and relax without having to plan every detail.

At Trail's End Resort and Marina we want you to feel like you've come back to your second home each time you pass through our gate. We are here to help your family and friends create a lifetime of memories.
