Sharing ownership can be difficult when it comes to expenses, use, etc. but it does work for some... at least some of the time. The issue is that even if you agree upon terms you never know when people or circumstances might change so there is a bit of a gamble involved in that.
If you decide not to buy you may want to look into long-term rentals. We can't get up to our place very often so we are always looking for people to rent it for weeks, months, etc. Let me know if you are interested in renting because we have lots of availability, especially from Sept to May
