lakefront cottages

Shore vacation homes

Lakefront cottages are small vacation homes situated on the shore of a lake.

The term evokes rustic retreats for swimming, fishing, and relaxation—often family properties passed down through generations or rented for summer getaways: We spent every August at my grandparents' lakefront cottage.

The plural form typically appears in real estate listings and travel contexts.
