boat house

Lakeside vessel storage

A boathouse is a building at the water's edge for storing boats.

Rowing clubs and universities with crew teams often have boathouses along rivers, serving as headquarters for their programs: The team gathered at the boathouse before dawn.

Private boathouses on lakes may include living quarters above the storage area.
