The Best Events for a Cottage

The cozy and intimate atmosphere of great cottages makes them ideal for a variety of events. Places like Large, colorful and moody house - vintage woodwork offer incredible amenities for a vacation, but it's also a perfect place for events like corporate retreats or a film shoot.

• Film Shoots – Bring Your Creative Vision to Life. A cottage in the country gives you privacy to shoot a film, and it can also give you the ideal background for your scene. If you need a place with a heated pool, lots of land for a horseback riding scene, full kitchens, ocean views, or luxury accommodation, Giggster can help you find it.

• Weddings – Embrace Nature. The intimate environment of a great cottage can be the perfect space for a wedding, bridal shower, or vow renewal. Bring a select group of friends to a cottage by the lake or in the woods and celebrate the occasion in beautiful surroundings.

• Wellness Getaways – Find Serenity. Get out of the city and discover the healing power of nature. Whether you want an oceanfront cottage, a country lodge, or a more rustic location that feels almost like camping, you can plan an amazing getaway and help your group recenter themselves.

• Artistic Retreats – Fun and Creativity. What artist hasn't dreamed from time to time of finding a cabin in the woods to inspire them? With the Giggster app, you can add dates and find the perfect location that has room for all your participants, so you can relax and focus on creation.

• Corporate Retreats – Energize Your Workforce. Getting away from the office can be just what you need to inspire your team. Take your staff to a beautiful lake or seashore, and you'll be able to get to know them on a deeper level and inspire them to share your mission.

Top Features to Look for in a Cottage

There are lots of great reasons to book a cottage for your next corporate event, wellness retreat, film shoot, or family gathering. Giggster can help you find the ideal rental, but consider these features to make sure you have everything you need.

Do you want rustic charm or modern amenities? Cottages and cabins range from charmingly rustic to luxurious. Do you want a place with a hot tub, swimming pool, and Wi-Fi connection, or would you prefer to go old school?

Look for a scenic location. It may sound obvious, but part of the point of renting a cottage is for its location. Whether you want mountains, forests, a lake, or an ocean, look for a cabin that fits your needs.

Think about access. Some places are harder to reach than others. Whether you're planning a family vacation, a getaway with your friends, or a film shoot that will require your colleagues to reach you, you need to find a place that's not so cut off from the world that nobody can get there.

Things to Consider for Renting a Cottage

Cottages offer coziness, serenity, and a chance to get away from it all and explore nature. But they aren't perfect for everything. Before you rent the perfect location through the Giggster app, consider these pros and cons.

Advantages

• Cottages and cabins provide privacy and seclusion. Whether you're having a personal event or shooting a movie, you can get away from the rest of the world and do exactly what you want.

• Many cottages come equipped with incredible amenities like full kitchens, hot tubs, and swimming pools. And some are close to major natural attractions, so you can have a great time exploring when you're not enjoying the comfort of your cottage.

• Many cottages can be surprisingly flexible. Use your imagination, and you can find cabins and cottages that are perfect for almost any event.

Disadvantages

• Cottages are generally smaller than houses, and may not be suitable for large gatherings.

• Some cottages can be very remote, so you may not have good cell phone or Wi-Fi access. If you're planning an event like a wedding or birthday party, you need to take that into account and bring backup solutions.

• Cottages are generally set up for relaxation, not crazy parties. You're probably not going to find professional lighting and sound systems, so if that's important to you, a cottage may not be the best choice.

Planning Your Cottage Event

Any event is only as good as your preplanning. Whether it's a wedding, birthday, corporate retreat, or film shoot, make sure you have everything in place before you start booking cottage rentals.

Find the Perfect Cottage – Every cottage rental is a little bit different. Think about what you need, and use the Giggster app to find a cottage that fits in with your goals.

Understand What's Included – Does your cottage have Wi-Fi? Does it have TV service? Is there lots to do in the area, or are you going to need to make your own entertainment? And are you planning on using the cottage for accommodation? If so, make sure it has enough room to house everyone who will be coming.

Prepare For Bad Weather – Cottages and cabins are often located far away from cities, and weather can be much more of a factor. Make sure you have contingency plans for bad weather so you don't get caught out.

Saving Money on Cottage Rentals

Depending on where you're looking, cabin rental can be very affordable, or very expensive. However, there are some ways you can save money on your event. Giggster's prices start at just $20/hour, so you can find a perfect place for your vacation, solo trip, or artistic project that won't break the bank.

Can you go in the off-season?

Prices for cottages and cabins are highly seasonal. Depending on what you want to do, you might be able to schedule your trip at a time when other people are traveling and save a lot of money that way.

Split the cost with a group.

You can often save by renting a larger cottage and splitting the cost with multiple people. That's especially true if you're staying overnight.

Longer stays can work out cheaper.

Many cottage owners will offer a discount for longer stays, so it may make sense to rent for multiple days.
