boathouses

Lakeside vessel garages

Boathouses are structures built at the water's edge to shelter boats.

They typically stand on pilings or a dock, with an opening that allows boats to float in directly from the water.

Some boathouses include upper levels for storage or living space: The lakefront property came with a private boathouse.
