Does Your Cottage Have A Name?

Osprey_sign I like cottage names. A good name is evocative, inspiring or downright cute, and looks so much better on a sign than a house number or the surname of the owners. Great names are inspired by an array of sources – trees, animals, locations and views, literature and legends – and can be generated quite easily. Here’s a few ideas:

Trees: Cedar Point, Whispering Pines, The Willows, Woodland Retreat, Tamarack Lodge, Cherry Hollow

Animals and Birds: Osprey Cottage, Squirrel’s Leap, Heron’s Nest, Beaver Creek Cottage, The Bear’s Lair, Loon’s Landing,  Moosewood

Locations & Views: Sunset Hideaway, Lakewood Vista, Beechwood Island, Discovery Villa, Blue Sky Cottage, Farview Cottage, Riverbank Retreat

The sandblasted Osprey Cottage sign was designed by Jude Lean at Riverbend Signs.
