summerhouse
Shaded garden retreat
A summerhouse is a small, often ornamental structure in a garden or park, designed for sitting in warm weather.
Unlike a gazebo, which is typically open on all sides, a summerhouse usually has walls and windows: We took tea in the summerhouse.
The word also refers to a vacation home used during summer months.
