Most cottages are filled with family heirlooms and photographs, but there’s no denying the appeal of a simple, modern abode. For this renovated boathouse in Muskoka, architect Christopher Simmonds keeps design clutter at a minimum with clean lines, natural wood paneling throughout and plenty of large windows. The two-storey boathouse, which is equipped with a living room, kitchenette, bathroom and upstairs bedroom, is the perfect quiet retreat from the hustle and bustle of the main cottage. Explore this beautiful space and get ready for some extreme boathouse envy.
