vacation cottages

Seasonal rental dwellings

Vacation cottages are small houses rented for holiday stays, typically in scenic or rural locations.

The term evokes a cozy, informal dwelling—often near beaches, lakes, or mountains—where families or couples retreat for short-term getaways: We rented a vacation cottage on Cape Cod for the week.
