Colorful Lake House Getaway

Every summer, Manhattan-based designer Meg Braff’s Southern roots resurface. Meg, along with husband Doug and their four boys, heads south to a 1960s structure on the Tennessee-Mississippi border. Within a couple hours’ drive of Meg’s hometown of Tupelo, the Pickwick Lake house, dubbed “Bikini Point” by Meg’s uncle, has hosted a long string of family memories going back three generations and is still the main gathering place for Meg’s extended family. “I learned to water-ski at Bikini Point,” says Meg. “I want our boys to share those same experiences and my love for the South.”
