The Ultimate Cottage Upgrade with The Bunkie Co.

Russ Durrant has been in the software industry since around 2000. Married with two kids—a 15-year-old son and an 11-year-old daughter—the Durrants enjoy an active lifestyle centered around their family cottage. With two dogs in tow, they spend their leisure time skiing, golfing, swimming, boating, and entertaining guests at their cottage.

When the Durrants decided to enhance their cottage experience, they searched for a modern Bunkie for two or three months. “Our goal,” Russ said, “was to extend the living space at our cottage with something that could serve as an extra room for guests, complete with a bathroom. We also wanted the flexibility to convert it into an office and a gym when it’s not in use by guests.”

Choosing The Bunkie Co. was an easy decision for them, driven by several key factors, including the fact that no building permit was required. “We also loved the beautiful design,” Russ said, “as well as the functionality of the interior, and the high-quality materials used.” The modular construction and quick build time were additional selling points, as was the Bunkie Company’s exceptional customer service.

Now, the Bunkie has seamlessly integrated into their cottage lifestyle. It offers privacy for guests, provides much-needed additional bathroom space, and serves as a versatile area that functions as both an office and a gym when guests aren’t visiting.

“The entire experience, from initial contact to installation, was positive,” Russ said, noting that they felt they received great value for their investment. He also praised the exceptional quality of the Bunkie, which has proven to be a durable and aesthetically pleasing addition to their property.

For those considering a purchase, Russ advises selecting a contractor with experience in building Bunkies, ideally one who has worked with The Bunkie Co. before. Their own contractor, though skilled, was building a Bunkie for the first time, which led to a longer construction time. “Despite that hiccup, which was hard to predict,” Russ said, “we’re thrilled with our Bunkie and highly recommend The Bunkie Co. to anyone looking to add additional stylish space to your home or cottage.”
