Mont Tremblant cottages are one of the best lodging options in this world-class ski resort. Mont Tremblant cottages, are not what you think. To track the evolution, let’s take a look at the origin of the cottage.
In the Middle Ages, cottages were the main dwellings of farmers and their families. The term comes from the dwellings used to house cotters, a type of serf from this period. Cotters, also known as cottagers, were not land owners. They worked the field of their particular lord and as pay, were given lodging (cottages), small gardens and part of the field’s harvest.
As defined during the Middle Ages, a cottage was more than the simple dwelling occupied by the serf and his family. The term included other parts of the land, eg, the barn structure and the surrounding yard.
As time passed, the term cottage referred only to the usually small, single-story bungalows located in rural settings. Many were simple, offering few, if any amenities. However, nothing could be further from the truth for Mont Tremblant cottages.
Fast forward to today’s cottages -- Canadian style, of course!
Canadians have redefined the term cottage, outlined this way in Wikipedia, “In Canada, the term "cottage" usually refers to a vacation/summer home, often located near a body of water. Although this is more commonly called a "cabin" in Western Canada, Newfoundland and Labrador, a "chalet" in Quebec, and a camp in Northern Ontario.”
Coming a long way from a single story dwelling, luxurious Mont Tremblant cottages today would seem like the king’s palace to a Middle Ages serf. Spanning up to 8,000 square feet, or more, they often sleep 10, 15 or 20 guests comfortably and boast so many amenities, you won’t even miss home.
Mont Tremblant cottages are outfitted with Jacuzzis, outdoor hot tubs, heated swimming pools, play rooms, exterior patios with BBQ, patios, balconies, sun decks, wood burning fireplaces and more.
