Our family has so many memories at the Laurin house and it is crazy to think about all of the memories the 380 guests we have hosted have created.

5 years later, and the Laurin house still has that same magical feeling we felt when we first saw it.

pillows are cozy
lots of pillows are cozier
We enjoy making personal recommendations for things to do in the local area. @oldhillcider is one of our favorite places to recommend to our Laurin house guests. Any suggestions we share we have tried!
I was sharing with Jon about how I was feeling unsettled. He showed me this quote @jamesclear sent in an email. It really made me think. I’m sharing more thoughts in this month’s email newsletter. Click the link in our profile to subscribe.
There are so many options for arranging the beds in the loft at the Laurin house. So whether it’s kids, a couple, group of friends, or individual - the space will be set-up just for you!
What is cozier than a quilt?
— a handmade quilt 🤍
We are excited to add a quilt by @juliebensonhandmade to the Mackenzie house. Thank you Julie for sharing your talent and art with our guests!
The Mackenzie house is LIVE on Airbnb!

Here’s what getting a rental ready with a newborn looks like. It’s been a challenge for me to work at a slower pace and to have to change plans. But we are also creating sweet memories as we put our heart into getting this house ready. I’m sharing in this months newsletter about working on being flexible.

We love hearing about guest experiences where they decide to never leave the cabin.
Sometimes the fun work that makes you happy gets to come first.
I made a list of projects and purchases that need completed prior to renting the Mackenzie and a list of things that can wait. Maybe having beds is more important than colorful stairs. But I've been excited to paint these steps since day one. It's ok to complete a task just for fun even if it's not the most important. Plus, it gives an extra boost of motivation for the other work.
