Description

Are you looking for lodging or a new home? The Bunkhouse could be your next tiny house, hunting cottage, lake house.  The four-foot porch comes standard and provides for a cozy interior loft area with ladder access. The loft has a small opening window that adds ambiance and is ideal for that little investigator in your family. The Bunkhouse, living up to its name, comes standard as fully insulated with four-season door and windows and built-in bunk beds. Consider the addition of a heat source to enjoy this hide-away even in the coldest months. The Bunkhouse can be customized with a variety of upgrades including several siding and roofing options, local artisan hand-crafted glass roundels, flower boxes and weathervanes.

When fantasizing about the small cottage lifestyle, you may imagine peaceful surroundings that create a sense of timelessness. Jamaica Cottage Shop makes it a no-brainer with cottages that are adorably durable. These beautiful buildings certainly 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 owning one in the back country.
