Over the next decade+ I would collect well over one hundred more sets, most as gifts and all loved dearly. In my early 20's I made the unfortunate choice to sell my entire collection, tens of thousands of pieces, hundreds of minifigures and countless memories. I've regretted it for years. I had played with the idea of restarting my old passion and buying a new set to begin a new collection, until one day I simply picked this set up while looking for a gift for a relative and said to myself \"this looks cool, I'm going to get it\". Simple as that. I put together the main build first, that same day, and took it apart, assembled the additional two builds, then made a freestyle build. I was hooked again. For the simple reason that this set was my rebirth into the world of Lego, it holds a special place. Regardless, it is an excellent set, with all the old touches of realism and creativity that I have always adored about Lego; the stylish part in the minifigure's hair; the detailed wooden aesthetic with end pieces that create a log cabin-esque appearance; the cut stumps of trees scattered about; the small touches of antique feathered pen, a letter one can assume is precious to the cabin's owner, either sent from a loved one or bound for one. The frog was a wonderful touch as well, suitable for the small watered area near the cabin. This set rekindled a lifelong passion I had ignored for many years, and I've since upped my collection to half a dozen sets. This set remains my favorite among them, both for being the first of my new collection and for simply being a fantastic build, well-valued, wonderfully detailed and surprisingly satisfying in all of its three builds. Well recommended and well loved.","review_amount":"29","rating_original":"4.8276","rating_converted":"96.55","author_name":null,"embed":null},{"review_url":"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/LEGO-Creator-Lakeside-31048-Building\/dp\/B017B1BEBE?SubscriptionId=AKIAIGQAU2PVYTRCS5MQ&tag=brickinsights-20&linkCode=xm2&camp=2025&creative=165953&creativeASIN=B017B1BEBE","snippet":"I bought this Lego for myself, a grandmother of 4. I love mooses, and this set is just so detailed and cute I couldn't resist. The log cabin opens and has detailed furnishings. There are, in addition to my friendly moose, also a fish and a frog! It makes me happy, and it was fun to put together. Now I know you are wondering, am I going to let the grandkids play with it? Only if they are real careful, if not it will be put up high to keep it safe! This is Mom-Mom's Lego!","review_amount":"314","rating_original":"4.8","rating_converted":"96.00","author_name":null,"embed":null},{"review_url":"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=VMRLd7V4CoI","snippet":null,"review_amount":null,"rating_original":"A","rating_converted":"90.00","author_name":null,"embed":"<iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/VMRLd7V4CoI?rel=0&amp;showinfo=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; encrypted-media\" allowfullscreen loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Embedded video from YouTube\"><\/iframe>"},{"review_url":"https:\/\/brickset.com\/reviews\/set-31048-1","snippet":null,"review_amount":"5","rating_original":"4.2","rating_converted":"84.00","author_name":null,"embed":null},{"review_url":"https:\/\/brickset.com\/article\/21228\/review-31048-lakeside-lodge","snippet":"I almost like this set better than the Corner Deli. While the Corner Deli has lots of opportunities for MOCs and to be scaled up as a modular, this build is quite satisfying and I found the alternate builds to be just as charming. I can easily see how you could take two or more of these sets and build a larger lodge, though I haven't seen any MOCs of this. Plus there's the moose. Who doesn't love the moose?","review_amount":null,"rating_original":null,"rating_converted":null,"author_name":"MeganL","embed":null},{"review_url":"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=evUAahbgjio","snippet":null,"review_amount":null,"rating_original":null,"rating_converted":null,"author_name":"Jang","embed":"<iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/evUAahbgjio?rel=0&amp;showinfo=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; encrypted-media\" allowfullscreen loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Embedded video from YouTube\"><\/iframe>"}]}
