"There are far, far better things ahead than any we leave behind." C.S. Lewis

Yesterday, we made the last trip down the driveway leaving 17 Cinnamon Drive behind. We bought this home in the middle of the pandemic as a place to escape to from Chicago. It quickly became a thriving short-term rental business. Today, we closed the doors and sold the home to a new owner.

It is a bittersweet moment because we have truly loved being hosts to the wonderful guests who have visited our home. It is an amazing experience to get to be a small part of someone's happiest moments- vacation!

We put so much time and energy and love into everything we did for this home and our guests. As an added benefit, we were able to host our own family vacations. In a short 2 1/2 years, we have made so many memories that we will carry with us forever. It is so great to know that our guests did too.

We may be leaving 17 Cinnamon Drive behind, but we are looking forward to a new adventure of being short-term rental hosts in Naples, Florida!!! We are currently working through the details of purchasing an aMAYzing Property there and hope you will continue to follow us and one day be our guest!

Thank you all for the memories. ❤️

If you have purchased new furniture lately, you know the timeline is loooooong to get it delivered- especially if it is custom made.

Check out our website and find a time to come stay with us! www.aMAYzingPM.com
