holiday home

Seasonal retreat dwelling

A holiday home is a secondary residence used for vacations, typically in a scenic or resort location.

British term equivalent to American "vacation home." The phrase implies leisure rather than investment, though many holiday homes are rented out when not in use by their owners: They bought a holiday home in Cornwall.
