Good Morning! The state of Florida beckons on several fronts today—model homes and condos for sale and community events and expos. Vacation rentals and discovery packages are offered in Georgia and South Carolina respectively.
And don’t forget the post-and-beam cottages—a favorite construction type of mine for its rustic styling—being offered by The Reserve at Lake Keowee, SC. It’s all here, details below.—David Lott, Founder & Publisher
