Does anyone have any suggestions on storing this lovely yet large boat in a small home with no garage or basement? Will cold weather harm it if left outside?

Meghan, UV damage is going to be the biggest problem with leaving it outside. If it has to be left out, try covering it with something burly that will hold up to the elements, like machine felt or a heavy duty tarp. Otherwise, how do you feel about a paddling theme in your living room? I had a friend with a 15" Easky, and she wound up in a similar situation with a very small house. We ran two eye-hooks into the rafters of the ceiling and strung the boat up over the couch with some carabiners... granted this isn't the way to store a boat if you have ever read the instruction sheet that came with it... but the other option was to leave it outside and let the squirrels nest in it. Just some food for thought, I hope it helps a little!
