On an unassuming street in Greensboro, North Carolina, is a lovely treehouse called The Roost.  The cozy home is tucked behind the owner’s house and blends into the backyard so well that I actually drove past it the first time.  It’s always in high demand as it’s one of the top Airbnb rentals in Greensboro, and yet this stunning eco-friendly treehouse is practically hidden within a residential area.

Wait – what is a yurt? A yurt is a round tent traditionally used as a nomadic dwelling in […]

As much as we enjoy traveling to fascinating places with overflowing itineraries and a ‘see everything’ attitude, we also love to get away from it all.  That’s why once a year, on our anniversary, we intentionally travel to a place where we can leave everything behind and reconnect with each other. For our third anniversary we chose a rustic cabin in the mountains of North Carolina for our escape, and it was exactly what we needed.     Disclosure: This […]
