I have no idea what oyu are asking? Sleeping for who? When I was a kid all us kids slept in the loft at the cabin sleeping bags and foam . Who will be your tenants ?Where I live bnb have to meet criteria and have a license so a bit mor einfo please. I believe every bedroom neds egress so the size of the windows is very important. I see no way to divide this to allow an egress window and access to the bathroom if more than one space .

Is this a short-term rental?

To maximize, lay mattresses wall-to-wall and hang hammocks overhead. But watch your step (and head) going to and from the bathroom at night. Or just go downstairs.

What you really want to do is optimize the sleeping arrangement, so everyone is comfortable and there’s a decent path to the bathroom. If you flip the bathroom and arrange it sink-toilet-tub, you can move the door to along the railing, making a natural walkway, and better defining the windowed area for beds.

Will you include a daybed in the reading nook?

Size the septic system to accommodate the maximum number of people the cabin will accommodate.

Consider redesigning with the number and size beds you want to determine the space size and shape, then incorporate that into the cabin's design. Fitting beds in the space shown will most likely not be efficient or comfortable.

The jack & jill bathroom is a really bad idea.

Is this a 'bed and breakfast' or a cabin for rent?

Thanks @bpath, yes, thats a good idea.

if we did this change, what bed/ config configuration would you suggest in the loft for guest sleeping?

yes yes, planning to have day bed in the reading nook.

mark, bed and breakfast….short term rental.

Here are some ideas (not sure they will fit, but you'll need to do the measurements):

Thanks Diana for the ideas!

You're welcome!

I love Diana's ideas - I've seen those in some high-end lake homes near us -

another option would be simple Ikea bunks - perhaps set up end to end or in an L configuration depending on space, the wood would jibe with the mountain cabin feel -

How open is the loft to the rest of the cabin? Would be nice to be able to pull heavy duty curtain panels across the opening to help control light and sound from below -

Agree @la_la, like the idea, wooden frame….

its not much open, but yes, some long curtains or a temp door would be needed.

It is my understanding a 'bed and breakfast' is a private residence, several rooms of which are set aside for overnight guests whose paid accommodations include breakfast.

Many areas limit occupancy to two per bedroom, or two per bedroom plus two. Check your local ordinances.

I am confused is it a airbnb or a B&B two very different uses for the space. I think trying to max out sleeping space for a B&B would be horrible and even for an airBNB too many bodies crammed together does not make for a great holiday. When i describe the space when we were kids that was a totally different thing not a renatl just a bunch if kids who really did not care about decor or hanging up clothes and for a long time the outhouse was the bathroom . I think you need to know who your clientele will be then plan the space . Both of these need a license to operate in most cities so make sure about that before ant design plans.BTW when you post the plan here it is imperative you mark where the ceiling gets to be high enough to stand because that is the only space you have for any bed.
