Craving poolside warmth and nature, she and her partner bought and renovated Casa and Casita Anush, two cozy, sun-drenched vacation rentals in Sonoma. The homes share the same two-acre playground, […]
One of the best things about being a wizard behind the curtain at BoutiqueHomes is when a guest loves a home as much as a destination. That’s what happened to Patrick Janelle (a.k.a. @aguynamedpatrick). He found out about us, saw photos of La Casa Pequeña, and says, “It was the first time that I booked […]
Margot met Massimiliano on the volcanic Sicilian island of Pantelleria in the summer of 2017.

They ended up spending a week together […]

In 1998, Tom Givone was working as a writer, living contentedly in New York’s West Village, when he started having landlord problems. “It was a typical New York story,” he tells us. “I was living in a great little studio on Perry Street – they would’ve had to drag me out of there wearing a […]

We’re big fans of Los Angeles-based artist Esther Pearl Watson and have been following her work for years. In fact, one of her paintings takes pride of place on a wall at BoutiqueHomes headquarters in Topanga. Often described as “faux naive”, much of her art recalls a childhood in rural Texas where her space-race-obsessed father […]
Warm up to these BoutiqueHomes with heavenly hearths. THE NOOQ, WHITEFISH, MONTANA What a design feat: rather than obstructing this snow globe of a view, this graceful fireplace enhances it.

If balance is the key to a healthy and full life, then even the most intrepid travelers should come to a point where not going anywhere appeals most. Jeremy and Erle, owners of WonderINN Mirrored Glass Cabin in the quiet nature reserve of Nordre Øyeren just 25 minutes from Oslo, can relate. After years of […]

Other times, it’s traveling (recently it visited Gallery Fumi in Mayfair, Galerie Zink in Waldkirchen, Germany.) […]
