4 YEARS OF CREATINGā
May 30th, 2022, Kevin and I purchased this property with a purpose: to breathe new life into every forgotten corner and, somehow, one day offer its newfound beauty to othersā¦ though at the time, we didnāt fully know what that would look likeāØ
In our first year, we cleared away what had been neglected. Dead vines, overgrown trees, debris and broken things hidden beneath the surface. It was less glamorous than people might imagine, but necessary. Before beauty could bloom, there was work to be done.
In our second year, we opened our newly named LaCasita Hideaway through Airbnb and were deeply moved by the response from our guests. Again and again, people shared that the property carried a feeling that photos alone could not capture. Soon, guests began asking if we would ever consider hosting private celebrations here.
So, slowly and intentionally, we began gifting a few experiences to learn how the property would carry gatherings, conversations, candlelight and memory-making. Somewhere during that season, the space revealed something to usā¦ its quiet āLittle Italyā spirit. CafĆ© lights, lingering conversations, family-style tables and an atmosphere that invited people to slow down and savor one another. Project by project, little by little, we are becoming.
In our third year, inquiries for micro-weddings began arriving. After much prayer and thoughtful consideration, we decided to gently dip our toes into this new chapter while beginning the process of pursuing a special use permit.
Now entering our fourth year, Kevin and I remain open-handed and intentional about how best to share what weāve created. We are not motivated by volume. In fact, weāve come to love being a bit of a best-kept secret, honoring our guestsā desire for intimate and private celebrations.
What we believe we are creating is something rare:
A space that feels personal.
A space that feels meaningful.
A space where memories are treasured because memories themselves are priceless.
With hearts full of gratitude,
Brenda & KevināØ
