Plot Synopsis

Interior designer and builder Danielle Bryk sets out to build a lake house for her sister Terry, while working with local contractor Jim and using environmentally friendly techniques to bring the home to life. The build is just past the framing stage, and Danielle must see it through to the end in just four months. When there is only six weeks until the Christmas deadline, Danielle's list of things to do, including the flooring and kitchen cabinetry, is endless. The weather turns cold and threatens to delay the project, and her sister gets sick and must be hospitalized. Then, with the deadline only two weeks away, Danielle feels the stress when a water pump malfunctions and leaves the house with no running water. She races against the clock to create a warm, cozy home before the entire family shows up for the big reunion. After premiering on Canada's Cottage Life TV in March 2019 with the title THE BRYK COTTAGE, this series had its U.S. premiere on Monday, June 15, 2019 at 9pm ET/PT on HGTV with a new title -- GENERATION RENOVATION: LAKE HOUSE.
