Who Wouldn’t Want to Vacation in This Awesome Maine Bunk House?
A Maine bunk house by the Knickerbocker Group in Portland has everything anyone could want in a vacation home. Located in Portland with amazing ocean views, the abode is cozy and fresh, providing a wonderful retreat to enjoy at any time of the year.
If you’re a regular reader of Town and Country Living, then you know I love a red house, so it’s no wonder this one immediately caught my eye. But then I fell even more in love when I looked at the details and interior spaces. I mean, look at the front screen door. Do you see the evergreen tree cutouts?
Step through the front door with the adorable cutouts and you’re immediately warmed by a cabin vibe with natural wood, horizontal paneling and a stone fireplace. You’ll also enjoy gleaming hardwood floors throughout.
Doesn’t the cozy living room immediately pull you in and make you wish you were in the picture, sitting in that chair facing the stunning fireplace with its arched opening? A sea of windows hugs the small dining space and lets natural light flow in so the room doesn’t become too dark and heavy.
The kitchen doesn’t disappoint, either. The triangular window treatment is a fresh and welcome addition to the cabin style kitchen. I love the pop of white cabinets against the horizontal-planked wood walls. Whoever owns this Maine bunk house needs to list it on Airbnb so we can all stay there.
The kitchen is an addition to the home and the architect was careful to match the wood wall siding to the existing treatment from the original house.
With a view like this from the kitchen sink, washing dishes would never be a chore. So pretty!
The stone work on the wall by the breakfast counter matches the stone of the fireplace in the living room. Details like this help tie rooms together and provide a smooth flow from one space to the next. Love the cross back stools, too.
This bunk room is unique and interesting for a variety of reasons. First, I love the color and pattern of the rug. Second, the wood-beamed ceiling is amazing. Third, the convenience of built-in storage like the drawers in the wall at right. But wait, there’s more just beyond that porthole window on the right.
There’s a bed hidden in the space. What kid (or adult) wouldn’t want to sleep here?
Pillows in the porthole! Want to see what’s on the other side of that window?
A cozy sleeping space, complete with a night light for bedtime reading.
From the other end of the room you can see the bunk beds and a door to a balcony. The room is lightly furnished so the kiddos have room to play on the floor.
The coastal style bathroom is just as quaint and appealing as the rest of the Maine bunk house. A pocket door separates the shower area from the rest of the room. A vintage sink elevates the charm.
Out on the expansive porch, the views are breathtaking. Adirondack chairs and a hammock provide plenty of comfort for whiling away the hours. A couch at the far end is protected by glass windows. Clever idea to keep rain and other elements out. That’s a corner you can head to when you want to be outside but away from the wind or rain.
Here’s a view of the pretty red house from the water. You can see a patio with chairs to the lower left of the house. Further down is a port for kayak or canoe storage. And of course, a charming boat on the water. It’s vacation perfection.
