Living on a 4 Season Houseboat - Beautiful Floating Tiny House!

The tiny houseboat was designed by Bonnie and her boatbuilding friend, Denis Tremblay, who is known locally as the Wakefield Pirate. Denis and a few of his friends built the boat by hand, including the aluminum frame and the custom windows, the cabinets, and the grill floor in the loft.

The main floor has a kitchen, toilet, dining room and living room, and upstairs there is cozy a sleeping loft with a grill floor that allows heat to rise through the floor, and sun & dust to travel down to the main level. One of the windows in the loft opens up onto a gorgeous rooftop patio with a cedar deck and has space for some solar panels if/when Bonnie decides she needs them.

The boat has a gas motor and can be taken out on the river which is quite impressive considering it's size! To make sure the boat was still road worthy, they built a wedge roof over the loft that can be taken apart if Bonnie wants to transport it to a different location. The boat is currently docked in the quaint little town of Wakefield, Québec where there are cute cafes, restaurants and shops right across the street.

The grill floor is by far one of the best features I have seen in tiny houses so far : it's lighter than wood, lets dust fall, allows heat and air to circulate and it's way better and healthier for the mattress (no moisture accumulated, less germs and odors...). I wonder why it is not more common in tiny houses !
That said, lovely boat and owner and great video ! :)

This has got to be the best tiny house I've ever seen!

[LaviniaDeMortalium]

I think this is one of the few tiny homes I've seen that looks spacious without turning it into a giant window box. The proportions are just right

[CosmicTruthTeller]

I would definitely filter that water.

Nice home!

[gpurvis]

this is probably, one of the most innovative tiny house designs I've seen in awhile, definitively a favorite.

What a dream house. Independent living. Freedom. Simplicity. This stuff sends chills.

My gf got me this for my bday. Greatest bday ever. We stayed on your house boat four years ago in February . My gf would have liked your new addition you have now back then. Lol. Great memory. Miigwetch 🙏

Thank you for not saying "dogs", "yoga", "reclaimed", "vegan" and so on! That alone was refreshing, the amazing space was a bonus!

[shelleyhillier]

would also love to see a video of this in the winter!

This boat house is really perfect. I like her life style living. The water looks so relaxing.

Wow, half the comments are critical, sad! I just love her and her little houseboat and her free spirit! Thanks for sharing your floating home with us. What’s life if not an adventure?

[yuhboris]

This is is one of the best because of how spacious it is and how many windows it has. The roof top patio and loft are amazing too

I Love  your Home. I live in a rather large Home and Hate it. What you have is just right. Great Job and God Bless You.

[silentone]

This is something I've been thinking about doing. Great home.

[celegleeson]

Love the idea of lowering the roof to meet the height requirement for driving on the road. Been thinking up some of my own designs on how I could cheat the height limit as well haha. Beautiful space!
