The sound of waves crashing in the distance, or

the gentle rustle of fall leaves making their way

to the ground. Whichever sight or sound beckons

you to take time away from your everyday life and

discover a life less stressed, seek that special place.

Most people can immediately picture the perfect

setting that soothes their soul and takes them to

a place where they instantly feel more at peace.

But, besides the outdoor setting for the perfect

getaway home, what features make it a great

vacation getaway?

ENHANCE THE EXPERIENCE OF

LIVING IN A SPECIAL PLACE

EASY ACCESS

Expansive decks that surround an entire home

like the one shown to the right and below,

provide easy access outdoors from any room. This

allows homeowners to feel unified with their

surroundings, which is almost always the main

attraction in these special getaways.

WHAT MAKES

A GREAT

VACATION HOME?

RUSTIC, COZY TOUCHES

Also, the use of stone and dark wood trim creates a

feeling of rustic charm. Warm and cozy, guests will

never want to leave their surroundings when decorated

with these details. Or, build a stone fireplace that adorns

the main living space. Not only will it be beautiful, but it

can provide an alternative heat source that will be sure

to draw people in.

LIGHT & BRIGHT

Large dormer and picture windows make taking in

views easy. Large windows offer a classic, alpine retreat

compelling views, while still making the home feel like

a private oasis tucked high in the mountains.

SEAMLESS TO THE OUTDOORS

A covered deck, like the one shown to the right below,

is a great outdoor retreat. Perfect for alfresco meals,

it allows outdoor enjoyment without the intensity of

direct sunlight, making it perfect for sunbelt regions,

beach, or coastal homes with tropical temperatures

practically all year-round.

BREEZY BEDROOMS

Well-lit bedrooms with oversized windows not only

permit sunlight, but help stir beach front breezes

into interior spaces. With the use of beach accents,

a bedroom like the one below is a cheerful, sunny

retreat.

Many of these characteristics allow the natural beauty

that surrounds your vacation home to shine.

Whether it’s a cozy stone fireplace, a shaded covered

deck, or a breezy beachside bedroom, these features

will take your vacation home to a new level of

relaxation and tranquility and lure you back time and

time again.

CABINS

Often blending perfectly with nature, cabins

evoke a feeling of smaller, rustic living that works

especially well in the rugged outdoor wilderness.

Whether tucked close to a soothing stream or

placed high in the snowy mountaintops, a cabin

is the ideal small dwelling for getting away from

it all. Typically, simple in style and decor, a cabin

will always feel inviting and offer the perfect escape

from everyday reality. Whether you’re cozied up

by the fireplace, or roasting marshmallows over

an outdoor fire pit, cabin life will definitely create

fond memories and moments of complete and

total relaxation.

YELTON CABIN

If you’re looking for a small, modern dwelling, or

would love to escape city life but still have all of

the amenities city life has to offer, then the Yelton

cabin is for you. Soaring ceilings overhead will

keep your special escape bright and cheerful. The

openness promotes fun and easy entertaining when

friends are over. You will be thankful for the large

covered porch for those days when there’s a mist

in the air. This small home is far from boring and

has everything you want!
