Most cottages include a private entrance,
one or more sleeping rooms, a full bathroom, fireplace,
common living area, full kitchen and dining area. Some BC
cottage and cabin resorts also have, onsite, a food and
beverage facility, specialty shops, a meeting and conference
building and/or a selection of entertainment activities.
Cabins, in general, are smaller one room structures. There
are cabins that are also self contained (more like a cottage
than cabin) and there are cabins that are bare bones.
The
bare bone cabins are usually very remote and are associated with some sort of outdoor activity like backpacking and cross country skiing.
The selection of cottages and cabins in British Columbia
varies greatly. Some enjoy all the luxuries of home while
other cottage and cabin accommodations do not have power,
phones or TV. It is important to check
what is included when booking a cottage and cabin accommodation.
Cottage and cabin units, like all accommodations, generally promote higher rates in the peak seasons
from May to September and offer discounted deals in the
off seasons.
Be aware that some cottage and cabin retreats
operate peak seasons in the winter months because the accommodations
are part of a winter activity like skiing and snowboarding. So peak season would be December
to March.
