The owner of our shop is in the finishing stages of building a Timber framed house in Fernie, British Columbia. The house is a joint project between two families and will be used for personal use as well as a rental house for travellers or tourists.

They are stumped on what to call their house for when they market it for rental. It is a beautiful house that is minutes from the winter ski destinations. Their last names are Traptow and Frasier, and one idea was "Trappers Hideaway". I think that it should have a more European Flavor and maybe incorporate the words "Chalet" or "Chateau".

Does anyone have any ideas on names. As I always find, it's harder to create something when it's close to you.

Trapped at Frasiers Chalet/Chateau

"Don't freeze trapping, get trapped at Frazier's"

Here are a few of the ideas we have bashed around the shop:
Elk Valley Lodge
Riverstone Lodge
The Meadows Manor
Riverside Manor

Chateau du Mont, for instance, but not a suggestion.

I like the word "timbers".

Chateau pres de Rive

(Pronounced like Shatow prayer duh Reeve) (try to make "prayer" one syllable...it's an "r" thang.)

I pulled out my dictionaire on zees one. I hope it's put together right...means Chateau by the river...if I haven't just made an absolute fool of myself...hehehe!

Nettie, I looked up timber

Chateau de Timbre (Chateau of timber)

Now to make things intresting I looked up hideaway...

Cachette de Timbre or Cachette pres de Rive

Meadow and view make me think it's a rehab gig hehehe!
