lake cabin

Shoreline vacation home

A lake cabin is a small, rustic dwelling situated on or near a lake, typically used as a vacation retreat or seasonal residence.

The term evokes simple pleasures—fishing, swimming, quiet mornings on the water: We spend two weeks every summer at the lake cabin.

Lake cabins range from primitive structures without plumbing to well-appointed second homes, but the phrase suggests informality and escape from daily life.
