6 vacation rental kitchens that are simply *chef’s kiss*

This Pacific Northwest island, famous for its shellfish, is sure to be a hotspot for anyone in search of a seafood-fueled getaway. Can you imagine a clambake on that waterfront patio? So can we. You’ll be prepping in a stunning open layout, where the kitchen, dining room, and living area flow together, and there’s no such thing as too many cooks in the kitchen. A copper hood and wooden beams bring warmth to the modern design, contrasting with the crisp white cabinets and countertops. Plus, that view will never get old.

This stunning Star Lake vacation rental will make you feel like you’re in the center of a Pendleton ad. The kitchen's wood-paneled walls, granite countertops, and wool-upholstered chairs are the perfect surroundings for the hearty meal you'll need (and want) to whip up after a day of fishing, hiking, and fat-tire biking in Wisconsin's Northwoods. Finish the day with dessert around the campfire or a nightcap while stargazing on the furnished deck.

With the gourmet amenities of this Maine vacation rental’s kitchen, not far from Acadia National Park, you’ll be firing up the stove before you can say lob-stah. East Coast charm runs through the airy, open kitchen with tiled backsplash, stainless steel appliances, and a spacious island for “sous chefs” to help prep. Kids, we’re looking at you. Try bass fishing at nearby Hamilton Pond to bring home a fresh catch and bragging rights, or head to the docks and see what the boats are hauling in that day.
