Scott McGillivray Gives a Family Cottage a Luxe Muskoka Makeover

Location is important, but – if you want your vacation home to reach its full potential – it’s not always everything. In order to keep their vacation house in the family, a mother and daughter were struggling to find a way to make their dated cottage as appealing as its prime Muskoka setting. To help the property compete with high-end summer rentals, real estate expert and contractor Scott McGillivray came to the rescue – using his vacation house rules to completely modernize the space and turn it into a must-rent vacation listing.

Watch Scott’s Vacation House Rules on Home Network.ca, now also available through STACKTV with Amazon Prime Video Channels, or with the new Global TV app when you sign-in with your TV service provider details. Home Network is also available through all major TV service providers.
