A Must Watch and A Must Visit

Nov 2, 2018 By Layla

Have you seen the Stay Home series on Netflix?

I gobbled the first season right up and sure hope they release more episodes in the future!

One of my favorites featured a houseboat in Seattle. They named it the Seattle Lakeside Lovenest. Here’s a look at the boat before they renovated it:

I won’t show too many photos here in case you haven’t seen it, but to whet your appetite, here’s a look at my favorite part of the makeover, after:

Needless to say, the owners were ecstatic seeing how Genevieve had transformed the old boat:

All of the properties on the show are available to rent and you can find a full list of them here:

STAY HERE

Kevin and I went on our first date in Seattle, so of course I’d love to plan a getaway to that house boat sometime. I also shared with you that I was fond of Williams Stafford’s poetry yesterday, so wouldn’t it be fun to visit the North Cascades National Park while we were out that way too!

The place is obviously inspiring enough on its own, but here’s a description of why it would be extra fun for me to go:

“Our Valley is a great place for spring pilgrimages. One way to enjoy both poetry and nature is to visit the “Methow River Poems” plaques by the poet William Stafford that meander along the river from Pateros to Winthrop.

The Forest Service approached Stafford in 1992, a year before his death, to write a series of poems that would reflect the landscape and spirit of the North Cascades. Stafford has long been associated with the expansiveness of nature and of the human spirit. A lifelong pacifist, Stafford’s relaxed and conversational poetics reflect his embodiment as a human being.”

The signs were printed on porcelain and serve as meditative plaques along the Methow.

Here’s a map of each poems location:

Have you ever visited this trail? I’d love to hear about your experience if you have!

    I have watched the new Stay Here series twice! Loved it! I also love the design on the houseboat! Hope you all enjoyed your stay in Minnesota! I live in Blue Earth Home of the 60 foot jolly green giant! Hopefully you dropped by to say hello to him.
    Regardless, I love following along with whatever you and your family are up to!

    Yep! Done the trail. It’s a goody.

    I also drive by the houseboat on the way to work every morning and I think, “is it a waste to rent something I live 20min from for a weekend?”

    Watched several episodes last night! SO GOOD! I do wish they would include the budget for each renovation; but I do like that they show the new income potential afterwards. Hard to go wrong with a Genevieve Gorder design! And it’s great that they feature different areas of the country too. Love it.

    I love this show too! As an Air Bnb host I took notes during each show because they have such good marketing and pricing advice!

    I blew through that first season so fast! Loved it! Sure hope there’s more. We rent a lot of vacation properties through various websites so it was interesting to learn more about the marketing aspect. I loved the one in wine country too. The outside entertaining area was magnificent! I’d love to have a property to rent out some day, so I found it very informative.
