I recently stayed at the Timber Cove Resort in Jenner, CA, and visited a few other Sonoma County-based properties including the Madrona in Healdsburg and JD House at Inns of Mendocino. We all already know how amazing the Madrona is including the design, service and attention to detail. The team is so fantastic. JD House was also great, with a delicious breakfast dropped off each morning and complimentary wine happy hour. The Water Tower room is a fun standalone option to stay in.

California-born and raised, I split my time between LA and the Bay Area. From Mendocino to Big Sur, the CA coastline is my happy place, especially when a weekend is spent at a waterfront boutique hotel catching the sunset and stopping at my favorite restaurants and wineries. My focus on details and budget as an event manager, combined with my love of researching and exploring new destinations, has given me the perfect tools to plan your next getaway.

We've got a confession: we are utterly, hopelessly addicted to travel. It all started when our founder packed her bags and set off to explore the world, ending up living and working across six continents (have no worries, we’ve traveled to the 7th, too). From the otherworldly landscapes of Patagonia to the pulsing streets of Buenos Aires, we've collected stories, friends and an insatiable appetite for new experiences in 85 countries (and counting!).
