Vacation Lake House Plans - Style Information

About VacationHouse Style Homes:

Most vacation homes and lake homes are second homes for their owners, rather than a primary residence. Planned for getaways and entertaining, vacation and lake homes often have numerous bedrooms and bathrooms to accommodate the crowd. For the same reason, large gathering areas are often in living/dining/kitchen combinations. Deep wrap-around porches built to house porch swings are great additions for enjoying the quiet times.

Reflective of the homeowner’s style and personality, vacation houses and lake houses can be designed with any architectural style in mind. While most lake homes or vacation homes are built in cottage or country fashion, styles such as Cape Cod or European are not uncommon. Multi-story fireplaces are also common to the vacation home, and these set the tone for the tranquil setting.

Many of these homes are situated on land that slopes down to waterfront, and are therefore often split level or hillside designs. Considering this, if the home is built with a walkout or daylight basement in the rear of the home, it can be designed as a game room or to house recreational equipment such as jet skis, fishing tackle and sports gear. Generally speaking, the foundations of lake or vacation homes in concrete, but any plan that interests you can be altered to more aptly suit the location.
