Our goal is simple: make traveling with the little ones easier. Though all of our spaces are family friendly, three of our homes were specifically curated with families in mind: The Country Cottage, Lyric at Leiper’s Fork, and Lunar Beach Bungalow.
Each of these single level homes has been intentionally designed to balance style with function and approachability for our littlest guests and their caregivers.
Peace of Mind for the Family
Safety is top of mind when it comes to welcoming families. We go the extra mile to think of things like soft corners, keeping chemicals up high, and maintaining safety certifications for each of our homes. Just a little caveat that we know kids are curious and tend to want to explore – especially in new spaces. While we take a variety of safety precautions, they are not meant to replace caregiver attention.
