epic events

The Cottages lifestyle centers around the concept of living every day like it was summer camp. Yeah, the summer camp you went to as a kid. As a resident, you’ll be a part of experiences like human-sized foosball tournaments and Pontoon Parties.

your adventure headquarters

You thought your childhood backyard jungle gym was cool until you moved to The Cottages at Lake Tamaha. Then you had a whole lake in your backyard. Swimming, fishing, kayaking, running, paddle board, the blob, you name it and you can do it on our version of an adult backyard jungle gym.

massive pool oasis

Pool vibes are on point at The Cottages. Soak up the sun on the sunken island, dominate in water volleyball, get some shade in the grotto, or just chill with friends around the deck.

fitness center central

The freshman fifteen is a myth around these parts. Free weights, circuit equipment, and cardio equipment are all waiting to kick your butt. Plus, we offer Fitness On Demand allowing you to participate in a workout class any day at any time.

basketball, tennis, putting green & more

The Cottages is like living summer camp every single day. You can’t have camp without a ton of stuff to do. We deliver with basketball courts, tennis courts, a putting green, cornhole boards, sand volleyball court, and over 6 football fields of open green space.

11,000 square feet of clubhouse

It’s a little like Chuck E Cheese for adults and a lot of bit awesome. We packed this place full of awesome including but not limited to: TV lounges, billiards, shuffleboard, a community kitchen, newly renovated study rooms, and three fitness centers.

no more apartment living

We’ve got spacious individual houses not cramped apartments. No more hearing your neighbors through thin walls, sharing a tiny kitchen, or wondering where you’re going to fit all of your Roll Tide t-shirts.

a private shuttle to the strip & the stadium

When you aren’t living the dream life in your new home we’ll take you to The Strip (and back) in our private shuttle. Plus, enjoy front gate drop-off during all home football games.

a home for you & fido

The only one that will love your new home at The Cottages more than you is your pet. A lake, walking trails, open space, and cottage-style living make this the perfect place for your pooch.
