The Powell Hide-Away

The Powell Hide-Away Weekend and Vacation Retreat Powell Hide-Away" was how the sign read leading to my Grandparent's cottage on the St. Joseph River east of Mishawaka, IN.

Family came there to escape the everyday pressures of life and fish, boat, cookout, play, or just sit around and visit. Years later I raised my family within a mile of that place. Wanting to experience those same things as an adult, I revisited my old campground in 2006 and a new Hide-Away was born as an Atwood Lake Seasonal. Almost 20 years later The Powell Hide-Away moved to a secluded cottage on Town Lake.

When we opened the cottage on 4/18, we noticed that we had storm damage on the west slope. We talked to our agent in Akron the same day, and he filed a claim on Monday morning. Meanwhile, I found a roof renewal company in Akron. They went to the cottage on Monday and gave us a replacement estimate using a premium wind and hail resistant shingle. We knew the roof was older, so this wasn't a great surprise. The insurance field adjuster is going to the cottage on Thursday to look. We plan to sign a contract with the renewal company on Friday because they gave us a great price, and they can do the job right away. The local people have been great to work with so far, and very fast.
