Out here in BC... "cottage" is "cabin". When someone out here utilizes "cottage" in the cabin context... it's akin to an ONer leaving their fingerprints at a crime scene.  |
FYI in Quebec French, a ''cottage'' (pronounced cot-taydge) is a term you sometimes hear for a two-storey detached house. It's not anything rustic at all.
A rustic cottage or cabin is a ''chalet'' as most people would know I guess.
