my friend's dad owned his until he was 90 and then signed it over to the kids.

There are still a lot of cabins (what they are normally called) that are still only used for the summer because they were not built to be livable in the winter, though it is getting more common to build an all season dwelling. They still get called "cabins" even when they're nicer than the average suburban home. Rarely do you hear someone refer to their "lake home" but you will hear them say they are "going to the lake" or "going up north to the lake".

The boat may depend on the size of the lake and why the owner wants one (fishing boat or a pontoon to just cruise around the lake).
