Not everyone needs a house on a lake, but everyone should have a friend who has a house on a lake. Finding that perfect pal—the one with a waterfront property on a serene, gorgeous body of water, with a kitchen designed for entertaining and enough room to comfortably sleep your whole crew—is a true Christmas miracle.
One Vancouver family of four is happy to be that miracle for their loved ones.
Legacy Lakehouse for the Holidays
When the couple purchased vacation property on a remote Sunshine Coast lake, the intention was always to be the hosts with the most.
“They both have really tight-knit, big extended families and longtime friends,” says Trish Knight of Knight Varga Interiors.
The Vancouver design firm—led by co-founders Knight and Nicole Varga—was brought on to the project with a mandate to create lasting magic.
“They really built the home with the intention of creating a legacy and keeping it in the family forever,” Knight says.
