Dark timber barn-meets-modern. Big glass, sharp roofline. Kinda moody and cool.
Steel and glass pavilion vibe. Light gray with shiny roof catching the sun.
Adirondack corner tucked in the trees. Wood tones, looks a quiet hangout.
Huge windows to the lake. Neutral sofa situation, everything calm and airy.
Balcony over the water with warm wood decking. Morning coffee spot unlocked.
Boat dock under a shiny roof. That water color is unreal.
Classic white farmhouse exterior, board-and-batten everywhere. Clean lines but still country.
White siding with stone base and metal roof. Windows are doing the most.
Porch goals. timber ceiling and a full-on swing bed. Nap city.
Wall of glass moment. Feels the landscape is part of the room.
Glassed-in lounge with wood beams. Sit here during storms and just watch.
Open kitchen with hillside views. Cooking while staring at trees sounds perfect.
Stone and metal facade, very mountain-modern. That standing seam roof is crisp.
Big stone fire ring with proper chairs. S'mores and sweaters required.
Another glass wall to the lake. Indoors feeling outdoorsy without the bugs.
