Scott makes over Tara-Lee and Bryan’s vacation rental

Vacation House Rules season 2 episode 1 features a woodland surrounded, lakeside stunner of a vacation rental which is owner by Tara-Lee and Bryan.

Scott McGillivray is often bringing the vacation rentals on Vacation House Rules into the 21st century and the Hawk’s Nest property was no different.

He decided to switch out the pine in the kitchen for a pop of colour, painting the cabinets in a calming blue colour. Scott and his team also updated the fixtures in the house as well as the appliances.

HGTV: Exploring the ‘Hawk’s Nest’ vacation rental

With maximizing occupancy at the forefront of his mind, Scott opted for bunk beds in one of the rental’s rooms and queen size beds in others. Scott said: “You want at least two beds per room or a bed that accomoadtes two people.”

Scott also changed the property’s flooring, going for a light wood option. Combining this with the big windows in the rental, the whole property boasted a light and airy feel.

The Hawk’s Nest property features an open-plan living area which allows for cooking, dining and entertaining all in the same space.

Bryan said that the Hawk’s Nest property felt much bigger since Scott worked his magic. The real showstopper of the vacation rental is the outside space as it sits upon Ontario’s Trent Lakes. A dining area, lounging area and a firepit made the Hawk’s Nest “the whole package” as Scott said.
