"We all love salty sea breezes and crashing waves, but there's something so endearing about a lakeside vacation that channels the ease and analogue charm of simpler times - when crews sat around playing Scrabble after dinner instead of scrolling screens. In many ways, these types of trips feel like a throwback, which is right on trend, given that classic Americana hotels are making a comeback."
"Travelers seeking somewhere a bit more mellow than a jam-packed shore destination will also appreciate the chill atmosphere and general lack of crowds that lakes tend to afford. Cozy lodgings with private porches are tailor-made for kicking back and soaking in the stunning scenery. Bonfires and lawn games reflect a sense of nostalgic fun and joy. Dockside dining (and drinking), swimming pools and outdoor activities - from kayaking to trekking - seal the deal."
"And while summer is prime time for a waterfront escape full of jet skiing and boating, each season gives vacationers ample reasons to visit, from fall leaf peeping to winter ice skating to spring hiking. With so much for guests of all ages to do year-round, it's no wonder lakeside retreats are a favorite of multigenerational families. The prospect of cuddling by a crackling fire, relaxing spa treatments and secluded sundowners with waterfront views makes for a romantic couple's getaway."
Lakeside vacations emphasize a relaxed, nostalgic atmosphere that evokes simpler, analogue pleasures and classic Americana hospitality. Quiet lake settings provide fewer crowds and cozy lodging features such as private porches, bonfires and dockside dining. Outdoor recreation ranges from swimming, kayaking and boating in summer to leaf peeping, ice skating and hiking in other seasons, supporting multigenerational travel. Romantic getaways benefit from crackling fires, spa treatments and secluded sunset views, while friends and families bond over activities like sailing and lawn games. Historic lakefront resorts blend scenic vistas with year-round programming and waterfront leisure.
