Custom Cottages Introduces New Ice Fishing/Deer Hunting Shelters
Shakopee, Minnesota – For over a decade Custom Cottages, Inc. owner Eric Bongard has been on a mission to bring ice anglers, hunters and outdoors enthusiasts the finest permanent shelter on the market. Staying true to its original vision, the company recently introduced two ground-breaking new products, which offer customers additional shelter models that function on the ice and in the field.
“We have to keep up with the demands of consumers who may not be looking for a large custom fishhouse, says Bongard. So, we’re diversifying into shelters that offer a smaller footprint, portability and double-duty hunting and ice fishing use from one product – and all at a real-world price point. We not only wanted to appeal guy who wants one do-it-all shelter, but the hunter who setting up numerous blinds on his property — or anglers who keep shelters on several different waters.”
Custom Cottages “Double Duty” Fish House/Deer Blind

Custom Cottages’ “Double Duty” Fish House/Deer Blind offers the benefits of a hard-sided house with minimal weight, currently in three footprints, including 4′ x 4′, 4′ x 6′ , 4′ x 8′ and 5′ x 5′ sizes, all backed by a lifetime warranty against defects on aluminum frame and roof. Custom-sizing is also available.
Via easy-lift handles, select models fit into the back of a pickup box for easy transport and set-up in the field or on ice.
“This smaller-footprint portable shelter does it all. Break down the cost of the ‘Double Duty’ over deer season and ice and it’s a no-brainer,” says Bongard.

Custom Cottages’ new ‘Tip-Up’ Scout House/Spear House brings ice anglers and spear-fishermen a new level of quick, easy set-up, thanks to its unique “Tip-Up” design.
“It’s simple enough that one angler can do it. Simply unhook the trailer hitch from your receiver and push it up into position. Makes a quick and easy way to scout new spots from the warmth of a hard-sided house – or pull off the detachable hitch and stay put,” says Bongard.

Although Bongard and company still build deluxe custom permanent shelters that can reach near the 30-foot mark, he and his team have carried that level of craftsmanship to his new, smaller footprint products. “Our whole approach to design and construction is to provide a comfortable, tough and hassle-free shelter that will last a lifetime. Our goal is to build customers the last mobile shelter they’ll ever need to buy.”
Along those lines, Custom Cottages’ design and build philosophy takes care of the three biggest offenders that otherwise prevent permanent shelter longevity.
First, all-aluminum frames hand-welded at every seam remain rust-proof for life and offer reduced weight for better towing mileage. Second, high R-value spray foam ensures comfort and creates a long-lasting temperature barrier to the elements. Lastly, custom shelter interiors are hand-installed from premium-grade cedar to withstand moisture and temperature extremes, and eliminate mold, rot and mildew.
