Hearth & Hobbit

Hi everyone! Just a note: for the next couple weeks there is a very large public hearing sign in the yard of the cottage. Unfortunately this is part of the journey with the new short term rental regulations in Columbia. The signs often cause much confusion in the neighborhoods, with residents assuming the house is for sale or being foreclosed on. It's simply letting the neighbors know that there is a conditional use permit in consideration with the city to allow the home to continue being used as a rental. No need to be concerned about the future of the house! :-) We look forward to the removal of the sign once the process is complete.

I am always so touched when a guest leaves a kind note, but when they leave a piece of art it moves me to tears! I have many pieces of artwork of the home displayed throughout the house, some from over 20+ years ago and some new pieces that have been left, like this sweet miniature left by Tom & Teresa, recent guests. I love how special the home is to everyone who stays! Thank you Tom and Teresa for this sweet gesture.

Recently our guest Sherri and her 19 year old son stayed for a weekend, and during the visit he hand drew us an incredible pencil drawing! I’m so humbled and grateful for this gift and amazed by this talent! His original drawing will be on display in the cottage, alongside other pieces given to us by artists who have been inspired by this community treasure. Thank you Sherri and please thank your son again for us!

I can't wait for new pictures this summer! If you drove by last year, you saw how much love was poured in the landscaping. We have also made some changes to the inside, such as a gorgeous blush velvet sofa in the living room! I look forward to sharing updated photos later this year :-)

My absolute favorite time of year at the cottage is the holidays! It’s so cheerful, cozy, and warm! So many people have messaged or stopped me in the street to say how much they love how well the home is being taken care of. It’s been an absolute pleasure that has filled me with so much joy over the last year. We are incredibly appreciative of all our guests who have stayed this year and filled the house with love and laughter, while respecting and cherishing it’s history. I’m grateful beyond words. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

We have been blessed with so many amazing guests over the last two months! The most common question I get when talking about the cottage is "Where are people coming from?" The answer is everywhere! We've had guests from coast to coast and of course locally. We've had families, travelers, girls weekends and more! The house brings joy to so many. Check out a few of our recent reviews!
