A cabin by the lake can be colorful, like the red vacation home above or the quaint green dwelling below that’s found in Finland. A beached motor boat provides the opportunity for fishing or simply having fun on the water. 

 

A large lake house enjoys views from the 1000 Islands area in Canada. 1000 Islands is a popular tourist spot where you can enjoy spectacular rock outcroppings and beautiful castles. This home has been decorated with purple flowers in window boxes for the summer season.

 

You’ll find these charming green cottages by the lake in Zaanse Schans, Netherlands. The area is a favorite among travelers from around the world. Tour the windmills, shop the charming boutiques, and enjoy the collection of wooden houses along the waterfront. So cute and quaint!

 

Lake houses come in a variety of styles and sizes. Do you prefer a grand home like this white villa, or do you prefer the charming quaint appeal of a more rustic cabin?

 

This mustard colored beauty resides on the shores of a lake in Michigan. Can you imagine the views from the cupola on the roof? A large boat is on-hand for summer trips around the lake.

 

There’s just something about a cabin with a boat that calls your name. I’d open the windows of this red cabin and enjoy the song of birds in the morning. It’s the perfect, secluded getaway spot.

 

A woodsy area creates the outdoor-lovers’ perfect retreat for enjoying nature at its finest. Head out for a hike and then enjoy a relaxing beverage on the porch while enjoying a gorgeous sunset on the lake.

 

Here’s another lake house cabin that’s enjoyed as a private retreat from the world.

 

Note the sailboats carved into the shutters of this cottage by the lake. Looking at all these charming getaways makes me long for vacation. Next month we head to Door County, Wisconsin for a family vacation. It’s so much fun having the kids and grandkids all together in one house.

 

So tell me, do you have a favorite lakefront home from today’s collection?
