winter cottage
Cold-weather retreat home
A winter cottage is a small dwelling used seasonally during cold months, typically in a snowy or mountainous setting.
Unlike summer cottages near lakes or beaches, winter cottages are associated with skiing, snowshoeing, or simply retreating to a cozy space during harsh weather: We rented a winter cottage in Vermont for the holidays.
The term emphasizes warmth and refuge against the cold.
