You may not have a summer house — yet — but that doesn’t mean you can’t dream about decorating a future one.
Beachside, lakeside, or countryside, these escapes will serve you major travel and decor envy in one. Your Pinterest boards aren’t ready for this.

3 Canadian Lake House
This impressive wall of windows helps you feel like you’re outdoors at all times — even when the weather won’t cooperate. Talk about living the dream.
North Carolina Escape
This vacation home was built to resemble a converted barn, and it’s major farmhouse decor inspo.
5 Florida Bungalow
Imagine having sweet tea on this screened in porch every afternoon. We’d be all about it.
6 Cape Cod Estate
This beach cabana is the ideal spot for al fresco summer meals. Naturally colored wicker furniture gives it a laid-back vibe, without feeling like your grandma’s retirement home.
Gulf Coast Retreat
Vintage glass lamps, a gallery wall, wicker baskets, and weathered furniture add to this beach house’s cottage feel. Major nods to the antique kayak doubling as wall art.
8 Maine Hotel
This one-time hotel was transformed into a summer house, and since none of the rooms had much architecture or even moldings, new wall coverings gave them some beachy character.
9 Swedish Farmhouse
The dramatic, steeply pitched roof and upholstered panels add a modern feel to this farmhouse’s master bedroom.
10 Florida Haven
When you’re by the sea, there’s no such thing as too much wicker. Or too much blue and white.
11 Nantucket Boathouse
Happy hour here on repeat, please. An outdoor bar cart is the one thing we often overlook on an outdoor patio — but it makes every day a party.
12 East Hampton Getaway
The sunporch’s white walls, ceilings, and floors calm down the bold palm leaf pillows and patterned rug. Everything in moderation, right?
13 Newport Abode
The antique bamboo dining chairs and red chandelier add an exotic edge to the otherwise more traditional space.
14 New York Estate
Dining underneath the wisteria? Total garden goals.
