Birchwood Bunkie Kit: A Cozy Sleeping Cabin for Kids and Guests
The Birchwood is the classic kids’-bunkie formula: 74 sq. ft., a person-width door, one window, and a friendly gable profile. Set it up with bunk beds and fairy lights and it becomes the most requested sleeping spot at the cottage.
Why you’ll love the Birchwood
- Person-width door + window: a snug, cabin-like feel that kids and overnight guests love.
- 28 mm interlocking construction: the fastest kits to raise — many owners finish the shell in a day.
- Restrained gable roof: 7’8″ (234 cm) ridge height, compact 8″ (20 cm) eaves.
- Openings: 1 person-width entrance, 1 window.
Best suited to
Best as a dedicated seasonal sleeping cabin — bunks for the kids, or a private double for guests. The 9′10″ × 7′7″ footprint fits where bigger buildings won’t (and stays under typical permit thresholds — confirm locally).
Built to go up in a weekend
Precision machining does the hard work before the kit reaches you: each slow-grown Nordic spruce log is cut and profiled to interlock exactly. A typical two-person crew raises the shell in 1–2 days with basic tools, guided by numbered parts and clear instructions.
