In the third episode of season 1 of Vacation House Rules, titled "Pet Friendly Paradise - Mark and Lynn," host Scott McGillivray helps a couple turn an outdated lakeside cottage into a modern retreat that is welcoming to their four-legged family members.
Mark and Lynn purchased their cottage as a family vacation spot that would also allow them to bring their beloved dogs along for the ride. However, they quickly realized that the cottage was in desperate need of some updates in order to accommodate their pets and make the space more functional for their entire family.
Scott's first task is to address the home's outdated interior, which includes a cramped and cluttered living room and a kitchen that lacks storage and counter space. He works with a team of contractors to open up the living area, creating a more spacious and inviting room that is also pet-friendly.
The kitchen is also given a complete overhaul, with new cabinets, countertops, and a large island that provides ample prep space. Scott also makes sure to incorporate plenty of storage solutions, including a custom-built pantry that is both functional and stylish.
The bedrooms are also updated to better suit the needs of Mark, Lynn, and their pets. Scott adds built-in storage to provide space for clothing and accessories, and incorporates features like a pet-friendly bed frame that includes storage for pet toys and blankets.
Outside, Scott focuses on creating a backyard oasis that is both relaxing for the couple and safe for their pets. He installs a new deck and hot tub, and incorporates features like a custom dog house with its own heating system.
Throughout "Pet Friendly Paradise," Scott emphasizes the importance of both style and function when it comes to renovating a vacation home that will also serve as a family retreat. By prioritizing the needs of Mark, Lynn, and their pets, he is able to create a space that is both beautiful and practical, transforming the outdated cottage into a modern paradise.
