This "cabin" is actually a series of three connected but stand-alone buildings. The "Bunk House," which is perpendicular to the kitchen and set back into
the downward slope of the land, has large windows running the full
length of each side and glass doors on the ends, offering maximum views,
light and air.

While not a full-on bunk room, a cozy window seat can double as sleeping space if need be. A pillow and a couple blankets can make for a cozy spot to rest with a guaranteed view in the morning.

Serving as the third of three bedrooms in this Michigan getaway, the bunk room ensures this cozy cabin can sleep a crowd–be it a big group of friends or family with little ones.

A children’s bunkroom can be a particularly fun design challenge to
create those special cabin memories of cousins and friends. Be mindful
that children grow up, and the bunkroom is just as likely to be used by a
gang of adult fishermen. Special, unique sleeping spaces for children can be created in many out
of the way places – such as under the stairs or up a ladder under the
roof.

A nook like this one can be used for additional sleeping space, or just a
window seat to watch the snow falling outside. The design makes good
use of an in-between space. Drawers are built underneath for storage and
a small reading light is positioned above for late-night reads. Built
off the main walkway, this nook allows for cabin traffic to pass by
undeterred.

If your cabin has an open loft space or walk-up attic area, low-angled
rooflines provide just enough room to have a bed nook built in, so you
can get great utility out of a space that would otherwise serve as
awkward storage, at best. The nook pictured here can serve as a cozy
little getaway complete with a TV for personal viewing (young kids or
grandkids would love it). But when combined with the seating to the
left, this entire area becomes a fun social space

This Minnesota cabin is the perfect example of creative use of space. Although the cabins measure just 227 square feet each, they offer two
full-size bunked beds and a sitting area with seating that converts to a
bed. Up to six people can sleep comfortably and, during the day, enjoy a
dining area, a covered deck that faces the trees and an outdoor firepit area.
