You can build their or even build a bridge bridge the island to the shore - once you've completed all the Westwood tasks.

For the purpose of the 'build pier' task - you can build the thing anywhere near Yara - even on land. Or use the river to the east of him.

The game at times...
There's a task to put three workstations upstation in a room with a stone floor and any walls...
If you put them in three separate workshops (still meeting the criteria), it doesn't recognise any.
If you put them in one workshop but it's too big, it doesn't (or may not) recognise them.
You can't use then on their own without the required matching workstation, but cram them together in a box room and it's "Job well done, here's $150"

A lot of this game is about meeting precise conditions, but they don't have to make sense.

Ah ok. Didn’t realise it didn’t have to be to the lake cabin thanks. I’ve finished everything else in Westwood so it’s been driving me nuts haha. Any idea how to actually get to that cabin though? Can’t jump up from my canoe

There's nothing in the cabin, plus it's offset with the pier, (which I found annoying). If you complete enough tasks it unlocks building in the entire area. You can move (properly align) the pier and cabin and carry on building, going to the island and continuing across to the other side.

Ah ok good to know.

Yeah I’ve found particularly with rooms requiring stairs it can be quite .. janky and you have to finagle quite a lot to get it to tick off.
