Where did I get my Bunkie?

After deciding to share my 5-acre property with others, I began researching options for a small, cozy cabin to create a unique retreat. I explored several kits, but after watching Dragons’ Den and learning about Bunkie Life, I felt drawn to their offerings. I reached out for more information, and the owner, David, personally called me to discuss the options. This level of care and attention made a lasting impression on me. I was also inspired by the stories of others in Canada and the U.S. running successful Airbnb bunkies.

Bunkie Life specializes in high-quality, easy-to-assemble kits made from kiln-dried Northern Spruce, offering charming and practical designs that are perfect for personal retreats or Airbnb rentals. Their kits are designed to withstand Canadian weather, with features like snow-load-rated roofs and energy-efficient double-pane windows.

In the summer of 2023, I built my Haven Bunkie cabin, & Barrel Sauna, carefully planning the space to create a comfortable, nature-focused retreat. By September 2023, I was ready to welcome guests, and the bunkie has since become a cherished part of my property. It’s a cozy escape that combines intentional design with the tranquility of rural living, perfect for anyone seeking a peaceful getaway.
