I want to keep the cost very low. My family has a lake-house and that is one of my options. I want the option of doing whatever I want and not having to be completely by schedule. At most venues you have to come decorate at a certain time and leave and have things cleaned up at a certain time. The lake-house isn't some beautiful extravagant place. The house is some what small and only 3 bedrooms 1 bath but I believe it would just be a laid back and relaxed atmosphere. But I also want it to be nice without having to spend too much on decorations. I think with a small tent we could accomodate the party.
Also my mom thinks this is a bad location. Do you think it would just be better to a chapel or church?

It sounds great! IF you are cool with the weather issue! If you feel like you can be laid back about the rain as a possibility, then go for it! You will need to have a tent large enough to move the ceremony there in case of rain. You could have the guests sit at the reception tables in that case. I have done this several times & it works fine!
You will need virtually no decoration for the ceremony; use the lake as the backdrop!
And you are right in assuming that your stress level will go down if you don't have to work on someone else's schedule!

It's your day. If you want to get married at the lake house get married there. I have seen plenty of tents decorated beautifully, you can't tell there is anything outside at all. Check your chapel/church guidelines first. Many of them have kitchens, etc. But if you want a cocktail at your wedding make sure you speak with the church about that. Renting a tent can be a lot after you rent chairs, tables, linens, decorations, etc. but it might be worth it. Check everything out.

it sounds very nice, but there are some things to consider with the lake house option:
if you don't want a set schedule, where are your guests going to spend the night if they attend your wedding? Is there a hotel/motel reasonably close-by that would set aside a block of rooms for your guests?

You know what, it is YOUR day, do what you want to do. The lake house sounds lovely. If it is pretty, you can have it outside. A wedding on the beach is very cool.
The main thing is that you and your fiance are there with the people you want to share your day with. Everything else is just fluff anyway.

Is there a church or chapel near the lakehouse? You could be married there & have the reception at your place.
We don't know why your mom thinks the lakehouse is a bad location, so we don't know whether we would agree with her.
