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 don't generally vacation in the same spot more than once, but we found ourselves renting the same vacation home in Champion, PA over and over in both winter and summer. (We credit Walter and his Cozy Cottage on the Creek, which we loved, for the inspiration.) So that Sunday we drove seven hours round trip to see this perfect home (for us), and on Monday we made an offer.
And from there it's been a whirlwind. We worked with our friend Aimee Lange, a talented interior designer and owner of Valerianne, to bring a cohesive design element and functionality to the space. And now it's mid-December and we're 95% of the way there and we have photos! We are so pleased with how everything is coming together and can't wait to start hosting guests. Supply chain delays have us still waiting on our large dining table and the completion of the electrical for the hot tub, but let's not let perfection be the enemy of the good. (Wise words from my father.) Come be our guest!
