While we certainly hope you'll stay with us when you're in Nashville, we wanted to put together a list of some of our favorite places to stay when life takes you to other places! All of these properties are either owned/operated by dear friends of ours, or places that we've stayed and had such a great time that we'd be remiss if we didn't tell you to stay there too! Happy travels wherever the road takes you! [P.S. We are not paid or perked for making these recommendations...just happy to connect good guests to great places to stay!]

CRESTWOOD CASA
Birmingham, AL 3 Bedroom, 2 Bath, 8 Guests Some longtime friends of ours just listed their adorable home on AirBnB and we can't wait to stay there the next time we go through Birmingham. Located just a few minutes from the Birmingham Airport in a cozy neighborhood, this cute cottage is the perfect place to land for a weekend with friends! The hosts are no strangers to travel as they've spent years on the road as a flight attendant and a public speaker so they know what guests need to feel "at home" when they aren't at home. |

FAMILY FRIENDLY BEACH CONDO
North Myrtle Beach, SC 4 Bedroom, 3 Bath, 12 Guests A girl I went to high-school with recently posted on her Facebook that her family had bought a beach condo they were planning to renovate and short-term rent. My interest was immediately piqued and I LOVED following along on her renovation update. The end product is absolutely stunning and looks like it fell out of a magazine. The condo building itself is right on the beach so you can head out the door and spend the day waterfront or enjoy the view from the deck if you need to just relax. Truly gorgeous and I can't wait to plan a trip! |

LA FORTUNA
Lake Atitlan, Guatemala Choose from five eco-luxury suites that each sleep 2 adults with a private bathroom. My husband and I stayed in this amazing slice of Central American Heaven on a 2014 trip to Guatemala and I've been referring friends and strangers alike ever since. This eco-friendly establishment was built on a coffee farm purchased by a lovely Canadian couple and is an assortment of private bungalows that dot the hillside overlooking Lake Atitlan. |

CASITA AMARILLO
Folly Beach, SC 2 bedroom, 1 bath, 4 guests When our family decided to take a beach vacation last summer, I spent hours mulling over hotel and short-term rental options and finally settled on this adorable casita available for rent via VRBO. I could not have been more delighted with the property and the hosts! It's clean and tidy and comes with everything you need including a wagon to haul all your stuff the beach! It's only a 2 block walk, but who wants to carry coolers and lawn chairs and sand toys and everything else that far? |
