25 Serene Lakeside Homes You Can Rent On Airbnb

There's something that feels so good about getting out of town — and if you're headed to a retreat in a treehouse, shipping container, or houseboat, we can bet that it's going to be a great and relaxing time! Now we are on the hunt for the best lake houses that provide a comfortable getaway with lakeside views, of course.

According to Lake Homes Realty, there are benefits to owning a home on a lake, such as building equity or having a place for your children and grandchildren to make memories; however, that also comes with costs from mortgage payments to taxes. To that end, the real estate firm also offers a slew of perks to renting a lake house. Some benefits include not having to shell out money to furnish it or more flexibility if you add another child (or pet!) to your family; you can rent two or three-bedroom rentals depending on your needs. Per Nerd Wallet, renting on Airbnb has its benefits since homeowners are vetted, so you know you are getting what you see on the listing. With all of this in mind, here are 25 spectacular lake house rentals across the United States.
