Rustic Boathouse Rebuild

Project Overview

Capturing the aesthetic of the main property, the boat house design is both modest and functional, featuring two interior boat slips, generous storage, an upper-level viewing deck, and an expansive water-level dock space for gatherings. The wraparound dock on all three sides of the boat house provides extra storage for watercraft and toys. With built-in stairs facilitating easy entry into the lake, convenience is a priority.
