Woman Living on a Charming Tiny Houseboat in All 4 Seasons – Full Tour & How It Works

Kate has been living full-time on this super charming tiny houseboat since 2020. In this video, she shares a full tour of her home on the water, as well as her experience as a liveaboard in a marina, including some of the challenges, the monthly expenses, the incredible community, the renovations and maintenance, how the systems work, and more!

You can follow and find out more about Kate on Instagram at My Little Houseboat:

The house boat is approximately 550-600 square feet, and includes the main level and the loft bedroom. Kate's houseboat is connected to city water and hydro electricity, and she has a septic tank for waste. She also has a high-speed internet connection at the dock which allows her to work from home.

Living on a boat year-round in Canada is not easy because of the harsh winters so to prevent ice from forming around her home, Kate has several bubblers installed around the pontoons that prevent the water from freezing. She also has a heat trace line to prevent her water line from freezing and she heats her home with a mix of the wood stove and electric wall heaters.

so impressed with her taste in her furnishing the houseboat. very elegant.

[magnificentmitsuri]

Her space feels very pristine, but not in a bleak, colorless way. Her house boat feels very open, but very warm and inviting. I love the color palette of her house!

[shiralleehaggart]

This is a beautiful home. The whole place has such a calm feel to it and Kate's cats complete the ambient atmosphere. Absolutely gorgeous.

[Always_sojourning]

This charming woman has a little piece of heaven on earth.

[patriciacole]

The price of living a life like this is still a mystery. Really nice house boat. Just wish they where more open about cost.

[eddiewalker]

She really made that kayak dismount look a lot easier than it is!

[DawnOldham]

This was such a beautiful home and to have it on water is the icing on the cake. She has such an elegant way of decorating, and being able to kayak so conveniently adds to the beauty. Call me impressed!

[bellarose]

I love to see women create their own spaces with such completeness and fulfillment. I hear and see her satisfaction with her life. Well done!❤

[patriniacopeland]

Such a beautiful home. The key is being neat, clean, organized, and clutter free, which she definitely is!!!! I am so impressed.

[cherylcain]

What a way to live! This is absolutely gorgeous, you have decorated it beautifully. I would definitely live in a place like this, lucky girl! The windows in your kitchen and loft make the space seem twice as large, I agree about your deck space off of the bedroom. What a beautiful area to sit and plan the next stages of your life. Thank you for sharing your lovely home!

I love how subjective the word "small" is... This houseboat is huge!! The kitchen and bathroom are either same size or larger than most of the Copenhagen/Oslo/Stockholm apartments :D Understanding subjectivity is very important...

What a beautiful person she is! I just love people with attitudes like hers. Love that she’s so happy.

Lived on a Sundance housebarge (42 x 16, 2 br 1 ba) in NY for 8 years, until our firstborn was 3 and we had another one on the way. Loved the community and the fun of telling people about it. Do not miss the ramp from the parking lot down to the docks, particularly in the winter while pregnant.

This is beautiful!

[stephanieburns]

We lived in a very similar houseboat in Sausalito. It's so funny, Kate's even in a different country, different climate & everything she said is exactly the same as our experience. Ours was 450 sf (very similar design!). Thank you for showing the world so well what it's like! Beautiful video and boat!

[XRPE]

So organised. So incredibly pretty. I think a lot of viewers are probably drooling now. The cats? I'm in love. ❤

[cya]

What a beautiful home and such a Sanctuary. The peace and quiet is worth the extra work. Thanks for sharing your home.

[mariatrining]

Such a lovely home. So bright and open. Beautiful views!

[sylviadavidson]

This is a spacious home, beautiful, light filled and a bath and wood stove, say no more! ❤

[debbieidi]

What a beautiful home! Full of light, and beautifully decorated, with lovely views. I particularly like the upstairs deck. I’m envious!
