Backyard’s that Rival Resorts

Beautiful Resort…Wait, that’s someone’s backyard!

I simply cannot deny that most of these fabulous views, landscapes and backyards (if you can even call them that) outshine some of the vacation spots I’ve had the privilege of visiting (talking Caribbean Islands, hills of Italy and top of the Rocky Mountains). Whether they’re dropped on the edge of a mountain, set overlooking a lake, or so enormous you could host a royal wedding, these backyards are some of the greatest we’ve seen.

22 backyards — here we go:
