getaway home

Weekend escape dwelling

A getaway home is a secondary residence used for vacations or escapes from daily routine—a cabin in the mountains, a beach house, a lakeside cottage.

The term emphasizes the property's function as a retreat: They bought a getaway home in the Poconos.

Unlike "vacation home," which sounds purely recreational, getaway home suggests refuge from ordinary life.
