Summer summer summertime…. Ooh summertime, time to sit back and unwind.
Are you going away this Summer? Staying local? Traveling? Did you see my story about prices this Summer? Have you noticed this? What do you think about these crazy prices? Fair enough or enough is enough? Honestly, I had sticker shock when I was looking around. But, maybe it is just as simple as supply and demand, but we saw so many places at over $1000 a night, and I just can’t do it. Pay it or charge it 😂
We just had 4 days open in August if you do want to getaway. Our prices are the same as they have always been 🥂🍾

This could be you.
March 5th and 6th just opened up on our calendar! Raise your hand if you could use a weekend away 🙌🏼
It is the only available weekend between now and September 18th! 🥂
Have I told you lately how much I appreciate all of you and your support? Well, I do. You are the best ❤️

What do you like for hosts to have at an Airbnb? You, know the things they may not think of.
A few weeks ago someone suggested we add water bottles to the cottage, and I was like, “let me find a mint colored one, and done and done”
I never thought of water bottles. I use them ALL the time at home, but never thought of them for the cottage. Here are some other things our guests suggested that I never thought of, but then added..
- A cooler for picnics
- A curling iron
- A blender
- Ramekins (I had to google this)
- a cocktail mixer
- outdoor blankets
- different kinds of chargers (these always get taken though)
- A basket of bathroom things people may have forgotten (toothpaste, sunscreen etc)
We are always trying to add little details, but, we can use help knowing what is helpful! Thanks everyone.

Same?
After a tiny getaway with good friends, good wine, a lot of laughter and love, and I feel like I can take on the world again.
It is hard to create breaks right now, it is hard to find time with the people we love. Everything is harder. But, it is totally worth it ♥️❤️

I have a question for you. What is the most random reason you have broken it off with someone?
My favorite is one of my best friends broke up with a guy because he said “anyhoo” 😂 My other friend broke up with a guy when he ordered his steak well done on a date. In college, I actually stopped seeing someone because when he was happy or thought something was funny he would snap his fingers, all the time. It wasn’t a tick, he thought it was cool I think. I could handle a tick, but this drove me crazy 😂
What about you? What is the weirdest reason you have broken up with someone?
I am going to send a little Valentines to the ones that make me laugh the most ♥️❤️
I am not a big Valentines person, so I thought it may be fun to turn it on its head a little. Happy February 🤞🏼♥️

Oh my gosh, we made it. Has the first month of 2020 felt like 200 months? Or has it flown by? Or both?
I would say both, it has felt like a lifetime and it has gone so fast.....but, it is Friday my friends, break out the wine and let’s toast to surviving another week, oh and the first month of 2021 🥂
This week, I had my kids home quarantining and schooling, worked full time, got the cottage all booked up now that Sonoma is open, got my mammogram, got 6 moles removed to be biopsied (and passed out in the process), went to the dentist and got my oil changed in my car.
I do not believe in celebrating busy, but I do believe in celebrating survival. And so, I will be toasting tonight with some good wine. Cheers my friends! ♥️

Our doors are open again! 🙌🏼
In the seesaw that is COVID, we are open again. Does that mean we are up or down? Or we fell off the seesaw? I don’t know, but we are open!

🤚🏼-A couple who needs a getaway?
🤚🏼- A small group of friends who just need to catch up?
Well, send us a DM. Lets get you wine tasting and relaxing ASAP 🥂🍷
We have loved hosting frontline healthcare workers the past 2 months. It has felt really wonderful to find a small way to say thank you for the work they are doing to protect all of us, and the connections we have made have been really special ❤️
But, we are also so happy that all of our local businesses get to open again, and that we can open our cottage to host folks in Sonoma ❤️♥️❤️ the Winter is just beautiful in Sonoma!
I have put a link to our calendar in our stories and it is also in our profile if you want to peek at dates and plan a getaway. And just DM us for a discounted rate, especially in February and March. Because April and the Summer are almost booked up already.

This is it. This is my favorite part about instagram, the connecting, supporting and collaboration that happens.
We just have this little cottage and this little page, but through it I have been able to meet, connect and collaborate with so many kind, talented and wonderful people, and I truly love it.
I hope you can already tell this about me, but if you can think of a way that I can support you and your dream in anyway, I am all in.
Thanks 🧡

I need your help! I love these IKEA beds. They easily pull out into queens and are super comfortable. How cool is that?
We partnered with to add the leather pulls to the front. And it really warmed them up and made them a bit fancier (3rd photo show the before). But, I want to partner up with another small company to jazz up the bedding.... the throw pillows?
So, here is where I need your help. What is your favorite bedding and or throw pillow shop?
I want these little beds to come into their full potential in 2021! And would love your help, pretty please!

Do you mix styles in your home?
I love modern design, but I also love being cozy, and older original pieces, and so we just have to mix styles.
This room is a mix of more main stream modern and unique pieces from antique fairs and shops. Add some pillows and blankets, and we officially have a mix of styles.
We also have to really think about each piece and how it will hold up in a rental and how sad we will be if it gets ruined.
Having said that, WAY more stuff gets ruined in our home than in the rental. Our guests take way better care of everything than our kids and bunbun and T***s 😂
