A timber structure with a Lakelake slate roof, diminishing in size. It probably dates to the early 20th century. Its base is concrete. It was cut into the south bank of the lake. The boat house is big enough for one rowing boat. To the east is a stone wall which might have been intended for boats. The boat house has collapsed.
