Original Log Boathouse
The estate's original log boathouse on the lake — hand-hewn round-log walls, a timber cathedral roof, and a plank door open to the lily-covered water.

Down at the water sits the estate's original log boathouse: hand-hewn round-log walls, a timber cathedral roof, small multi-pane windows, and a plank door that opens straight onto the lily-covered lake, with the mansion across the lawn beyond. Only the exterior roof has been renewed — inside, the logs are as they were: bare floor, exposed timber, the real thing.
It brings a rustic, frontier lakeside look none of the other categories offer — pioneer cabin, homesteader, isolated woodland dwelling — and that as-found honesty is exactly the appeal for period work. It's confirmed safe for film crews, and it sits a short move from the lake, the horse paddock, and the small barn, so it drops cleanly into a single shoot day with those looks.
