I would like house 3 relocated to where 4 is. But since that's not an option, ill take #4.

I’d pick 2, my husband picks 4. We’d share.

I think I would like 3--right now I could use the activity of a city.

4 for me as I actually do have that. We have our home in Mass. and our cottage in Maine on a lake surrounded by mountains.

Gotta be 4, although some amenities of the others are good, #4 with a full pantry sold me.

1!

2

I'd pick 3, as that is different than I've experienced. I've had the house in the woods and a cabin type house in Alaska. I've spent lots of time at the beach, so a place in the city would be new and exciting. (I'd forgo the mini golf green, though)

Does 1 come with a cabana boy? I may reconsider my first choice.

(Husband is annoying me at the moment)

A toss-up between #2 and #4. #2 sounds heavenly, but I'd have no use for a full bar, a full pantry is more my style, so I'll go with #4.

One of each, please. One for each season...

We live in #2 right now. I am torn between #1 or #4. Maybe 1/2 year in each place. Never #3, I hated living in the city.

Daily, number 2 but remove the horse facilities for a home gym and take vacations in number 1 with some friends.

I would have to go with 4. I don't fish but I'll take the boat out. :)

4 please

#1. It's FREEZING here with a foot of snow on the ground and more of the same predicted for the immediate future. I can just be *transported* there, right? No planes or hordes of people involved? There's air conditioning? There's quality medical care not too far away? Comes with a rental car?

House #3. I wouldn't want to be too far away from libraries and bookstores!

I would pick #1 but I would definitely get a sailboat and a houseboat as well. My family would be by to visit all the time.

Hands down, #1

4

Each option has at least one feature that I really like and one or 2 (or 3, in option #3) that I really don't care about. For example I much prefer mountains, but a hot tub would be a nuisance not an attraction. I guess #4 is my winner - I don't fish or swim, but I would canoe!

Unless choosing #2 would magically include a horse and the ability to take care of/ advantage of having it?

3 or 4. 3 mainly because of the swimming pool, as long as it was heated and indoors or in a warm location.

Hmm, probably #4 if the lake is clear and you can swim in it. #1 is tempting, too, since my sons would enjoy that. However, #3 would be nice so there would be other people around and a lot to do.

#4, and I hope that chimney is for a fireplace.

None of them. I'd prefer to be in a city apartment in a full service doorman building, lots of food delivery options and everything within walking distance. I feel much safer with neighbors on the other side of my wall, and a staff I can call for help, repairs, etc.

I wouldn't want #1 unless I could also have #3 in close enough proximity to be able to easily move from one to the other. Both offer plenty of fun yet different things to do. If I can't have two, then I would choose #3.

#2 and #4 don't interest me other than for very short and infrequent visits. I'd be bored after a few days at either.

I would pick #1 because there is not much point in being in #3 during a pandemic. However, I do tend to get bored after being stuck at the beach for more than 10 days, although we did stay at the beach in Fiji for two weeks, and we were definitely off the grid while there.

If I had to be there for more than two weeks, I would choose #3.

As it is now, we split our time between Los Angeles and Cathedral City, and that has worked out very well for us.

no desert option? I'll just stay home then.

Number 1! Didn't even have to think about it. 😁 🌺🥥🍹⛱️🌊

#1 would be my first choice if we didn't already do the beach so often, so #4 would be a nice change of pace........it has AC, WiFi, and Cable right? nyuk.

This isn’t a vacation, it’s quarantine. The options don’t make much sense because any facilities outside the house are of absolutely no use to you. Those boats, horses, libraries, kayaks and bookstores would be out of bounds and you’d certainly not be allowed to interact with anyone. No family visits. So I’d take 3.

My English friends told me last week that besides being allowed to leave home for essential items (food or medical treatment, I'm sure there are other things) that they're allowed some period of time each day, maybe an hour, for away from the household outdoor exercise so long as they're socially distanced from others. The outdoor activities listed for the various alternatives should be do-able, no?

We are in lockdown, not quarantine. Quarantine is much stricter. Like the Australian system where you are shut in a hotel room for ten days. Meals left at the door.

We are allowed outdoor exercise once a day which is basically walking, running, cycling etc. in parks or countryside. You are not supposed to drive to exercise. It should be from your front door. All sports facilities and clubs are closed. You could ride if you have your own horse and stable I imagine but all shared facilities are closed. All non essential shops are shut as are all cafes, bars and restaurants.

floral, I live pretty much how number 2 and 4 are described, no mountains though and bigger house. We have horses. The horses have to be fed every day. We can go outside. We can ride them whenever we want all the while staying on our own property. We are miles from any neighbour. One could quarantine, if they had to, on a property like that and enjoy all the amenities. Easily.

Number 4 as long as there were no spiders. Every lakeside cabin I have ever stayed in had big spiders. Number 2 would be my next choice although I wouldn't use the hot tub nor the horse facilities
