Primed for a party, this brick-surrounded pool is the epitome of New England charm. The main home and pool house mix rustic stonework, shiplap siding and a wood shingle roof to set the scene. A row of hedges and picket gate lead into the inviting pool, which features a hot tub, relaxing lounge chairs and a bar area for dining.

Guests will already be in awe of this stunning lakeside view, even before they take in the amazing outdoor amenities. Perched on the edge of the property to maximize the scenery is a cozy seating area centered around a roaring fire pit. Under the stacked stone and wood beam pavilion is a complete living domain with multiple dining tables and another fire pit gathering spot.

Like stepping out into a dreamy resort, this luxurious home is ready to throw the ultimate bash. A lazy river wraps around the outdoors, which combines a variety of pools and hots tubs, as well as a mix of different seating groups. Lighting plays a big role in the design so that parties can last long into the evenings.

Gather the whole family for a day in the sun. Multiple levels of fun start at the top with a pair of dining tables to eat al fresco. Kids, young and old, will love sliding down into the pool, and the hot tub provides the opportunity to enjoy the sweeping mountain vistas even when there's a chill in the air. Flower beds full of swaying grasses and small shrubs soften the hardscaping.
