In this episode of Boats, Beers & Backroads, host Jamie Allison sits down with David Fraser, the creator of Bunkie Life — a cottage brand born from necessity, family love, and a knack for building tiny things with a big impact. From a simple need for more sleeping space at the family cottage to a nationally recognized appearance on Dragons’ Den, David shares how Bunkie Life grew into a movement that blends entrepreneurship, rustic design, and the joy of spending time with people you care about.

We talk family-first business values, the appeal of small-footprint living, and how the bunkie became a symbol of connection for cottage lovers across the country.

Topics covered:

- The origin story of Bunkie Life

-Building spaces that bring people together

- Behind the scenes of Dragons’ Den-Running a purpose-driven business

-Why “just enough” space might be the key to more joy
