The Table Saga Continues...

Mon, 14 Mar 2022 00:00:00 GMT

I'll get to that 😡 table in a bit, but first; a non sequitur and how I spent a snowy Sunday... It's pi day, yay! The Middlest can recite 155 digits of pi! A week ago it was pushing 70 and today there is snow on the ground. Oh March, you fickle fickle month. As we were getting the place ready to host guests for snow season, we focused much of our attention on the inside of the house...where it's warm and cozy. Admittedly we did not put too much effort into our outdoor pavilion space. We...

Meet Bane... [img https://orez.io/dl/f/59d3aa0cb21f4e7aba0b8482b25cbf1a] And Talia... [img https://orez.io/dl/f/126baf096b974e2eb615fce9ea29930f] (Any DC comics fans out there?) These are the dogs of Triple Creek Cottage. They accompanied Ollie on many a trip up to Champion throughout the fall and have decided they are now country dogs. They've made country dog friends... Fergus and Keely, the labs next door. (We do need Bane and Talia to be suburban dogs in real life though and...

We are a 5 STAR property on Airbnb! And our Pottery Barn table finally arrived!!! (Not sure which is more exciting...🤔) So for all intents and purposes, we're off to a good start. Airbnb posts your ⭐ rating after your property accumulates its first three https://www.triplecreekcottage.com/reviews reviews. We are grateful to have had three good groups so far that were kind enough to leave us public feedback. We decided to start Triple Creek Cottage on Airbnb because their API integration...

Happy New Year!

Our first guests checked in to Triple Creek Cottage yesterday! Eeek!! We've not heard a peep. We can only assume all is going well. 🤞 There was a bit of a hiccup getting our vacation rental live on Airbnb and our first three bookings were double-charged occupancy taxes. And when this group booked, we weren't sure the hot tub or dining table would be ready. Our fantastic contractors, Brad Younkin and his partner Chad, had the hot tub up and running for them, but Pottery Barn did NOT deliver...

Merry Christmas from TCC

We finally get to enjoy being at Triple Creek Cottage! Mostly. It's a working family vacation. We are here at the cottage for Christmas finalizing as much as we can and putting the place through its paces before our first guests arrive for New Year's Eve. First the working part. The major accomplishment for this trip is that we finished the hot tub installation, and in time for our first guests! We donned our Triple Creek robes and tested it all out. It is really going to be a nice amen...

Our Debut

Fri, 17 Dec 2021 00:00:00 GMT

This is our debut! Welcome to Triple Creek Cottage and the TCC Blog! Look at all the different greens! Idyllic, that's the word for it. There are a handful of people that are aware of this journey that we began on a whim back in August. And by whim, I mean that Ollie and I chatted on a Friday morning over coffee about how nice it would be to have a vacation home of our own in the Laurel Highlands. And wouldn't it be nice if we could rent it out when we weren't using it to help pay for it? We...
