Bunkie Cottage
Whether you are looking for a small home office, a simple hunting cabin or a storage space for your weather sensitive belongings, the 8×10 Bunkie Cabin is an ideal solution. With the addition of a heat source, this fully insulated design becomes a usable space all year long.
This charming small wooden shed was designed as a simple four-season cottage to fit a modest budget. The Bunkie Cabin is designed with aesthetic and space saving exposed Post & Beam framing. This small wooden shed includes fiberglass and foam foil board insulation, a battery-operated CO/Smoke Detector and insulated millwork. A selection of optional add-ons can be included for additional comfort and style.
When dreaming about the small cottage lifestyle, you may imagine tranquil surroundings that bring back memories of a simpler way of life. A cozy country cottage with vintage charm may sound old-fashioned, but imagine quiet romantic evenings, sharing a wooden glider on the front porch, sipping a glass of wine and watching the sunset with that special someone. Cottages are adorable structures that simply emanate warmth and comfort, and although they’re small, they offer all the conveniences of a full-size house. They make a wonderful primary home but can also make charming guesthouses or backyard retreats. When the primary purpose of your small cottage is a vacation home, the intimate space is ideal for couples looking for peaceful weekend getaways or families seeking quality time and bonding. At Jamaica Cottage Shop, we think that a having a cabin in the backyard can be just as rewarding as having one in the backcountry. Home office or bunk house for guests? Maybe both? Turn your four-seasoned retreat into a combined guest house and workspace for hobbies such as pottery or jewelry making.
