A second home in Bonner County isn’t merely a getaway; it’s a place to relax, recharge, reconnect, and enjoy the best of North Idaho living. Whether you’re here for Schweitzer’s ski season or summer days on Priest Lake or Lake Pend Oreille, your vacation home should be built for comfort, ease, and relaxation.
At BluBird Day Renovations, we specialize in remodeling homes to make them your happy places—more functional suited to how you actually use them. For a second home, that means tailoring your space to support your lifestyle when you’re off the clock.
Remodel with Purpose
Second homes aren’t used the same way as full-time residences. You’re not juggling school drop-offs or home office Zoom calls here. You’re entertaining guests, drying off after a lake swim, warming up after a good powder day, and kicking back with family and friends. Your remodel should reflect that by incorporating features that make your home relaxing, easy to maintain, and suited for entertaining.
Here are some high-impact features that can make a second home more enjoyable, lower-maintenance, and ready for whatever your getaway brings:
- Mudrooms with Gear Storage: Whether it’s snowboards or paddleboards, a well-designed mudroom with durable flooring, benches, and smart storage helps keep the mess contained and your gear organized.
- Durable, Easy-Clean Materials: Vacation homes see a lot of in-and-out traffic. Think waterproof flooring, wipeable surfaces, and low-maintenance finishes that look good with minimal upkeep.
- Guest-Friendly Layouts: Open-concept living spaces, multiple en suite bedrooms, and even bunk rooms make hosting easy and comfortable for everyone.
- Outdoor Living Upgrades: Add a covered deck, built-in grill, hot tub, or fire pit to make the most of your time outside, whether in summer or winter.
- Smart Home Tech: Remote-controlled thermostats, lighting, cameras, and security systems help you monitor your home while you’re away and arrive at a warm, well-lit house when you return.
- Energy Efficiency: Whether your home sits empty for weeks or is booked solid with guests, smart insulation, high-efficiency windows, and upgraded HVAC systems help control utility costs year-round.
Designed for Downtime
These are just a few of the ideas you should consider when envisioning exactly what you want your vacation home to look like and offer.
