If it was a choice I'd go smaller to get the best quality upgrades instead of going big with the average materials. DH and I were very surprised at the log cabin modular homes. Very nice, great quality and perfect for a lake or wooded area. His preference. Mine is a townhouse downtown right in the middle of a tourist area so the kids will have plenty to do when they visit instead of being stuck in the middle of no where. We'll both have to compromise a lot!
