lake cottage
Shoreline vacation home
A lake cottage is a small house situated on or near a lake, typically used as a vacation home or seasonal retreat.
The term suggests something more rustic and modest than a lake house, evoking wooden construction, screened porches, and summer weekends: We spent every August at the lake cottage.
In the Upper Midwest and Canada, cottage alone often implies lakeside location.
