How it works
Tell us the dates, the headcount and the occasion. A person who knows every property answers the same day, holds the right house, and stays with you until checkout. No call centre, no third party.
Why we do this
Buildings have souls. Most just need someone willing to find them.
We don’t flip properties. We free them, from neglect, from mediocrity, from the failure of imagination that let them go quiet in the first place. Style is not decoration. Personality is not marketing. They are the architecture of an experience, and when you get them right, people come back.
One family, two coasts
We build the houses, then we host you in them.
We only host in houses we run ourselves: meticulously renovated, handpicked villas and inns, redesigned by us. The result is absolute control over design, amenities and service. It started with one Scottsdale villa and a simple idea, that a large group should be able to stay together in a real home without any part of it feeling like a rental. More recently we brought the same approach to two historic inns on the harbor in Boothbay, Maine.

Guest review
I’ve stayed at many Airbnb’s and by far this is my favorite. Michael and Mary were always responsive if we had any questions or issues. The pool was amazing , kitchen had everything we needed and everything was fully stocked so you’d never run out of towels or anything in that regard. The horses and chickens were my favorite…
Guest review
We had a pleasant stay at the property. The loft was a perfect place to return to after a long day of activities and exploring. It was more than enough room for our group of 3. There's also a nice pool with a waterfall feature that's really soothing. It's a nice place to enjoy some reading or even the night time sky. I would…

Exceptional space! The windows and open concept are so beautiful and the space feels much bigger than the pictures depict. The beautiful pool was a sweet addition to it all! I would highly recommend.

"So many of you are asking exactly where we are staying. The secret is out. This is Boothbay Harbor in Maine. We stayed at Admiral’s Quarters, and Jersey is my Maine man. We’ll be back."Nick Beres, Nashville · September 2026
Nick Beres, Nashville’s longtime television newsman, spent a week in Boothbay Harbor, stayed with us at Admiral’s Quarters, ran into a couple from Pulaski, Tennessee on the ridge, and went home telling everyone where to find us. The man in the Parsons cap is Jersey Metzinger, our innkeeper, who runs both houses and answers the phone himself.
