Cameron & Dave had a good understanding of what makes a user-friendly website. After discussing the problems they encountered while searching for that cabin on the lake, they knew that "there had to be a better way." After a few months of research and development, LakePlace.com was conceived.

A couple of years ago, LakePlace.com co-founders Dave Gooden & Cameron Henkel, were searching for their own perfect family cabins "up north." They found that most real estate companies had their own websites, however, they were poorly designed, rarely updated, and the MLS search results were anything but accurate. The sites were also limited to a small geographic area - forcing the duo to visit website after website, making the search very time consuming.

Using the website knowledge they had gained in the past years, they created LakePlace.com to be very user friendly and a self-service site. the site started attracting attention from day one. They decided to add private cabin rentals and family resorts to the site. The next year brought more visitors than they had imagined, and LakePlace.com was gaining notoriety through word of mouth.

Our vision remains simple and clear. Create, maintain, and improve an online directory which encompasses the "Up North" lifestyle. One single, easy to use website, which neatly organizes lake property for sale, private cabin rentals, and family resorts throughout all regions of Wisconsin and Minnesota - eliminating the time consuming task of jumping from website to website in search of your perfect lake place. Whether you are looking for property, or simply want to get away for the weekend - LakePlace.com has tried to make it a little easier for you to get started.
