A boathouse on a body of water with mountains in the back

If you live in Minnesota and you don’t like boats, you’re considered some kind of freak. Okay, so I’m some kind of freak. I mean, seriously, bobbing around on a gigantic reflective surface getting increasingly dehydrated and sunburnt on a hot day? No thanks. However…there is one kind of boat that I would be happy to own. A houseboat. Especially a houseboat like this.

 

From Arkiboat, these floating holiday getaways are boats, sure, but
they’re also lovely architecture. Check out Arkiboat’s specs, designs
and gallery at their website.
