Summary:
Meet The Crooked Lady — she’s not perfect, but that’s what makes her irresistible. With a floor that dips just enough to remind you she’s got stories to tell, this home leans into her quirks with charm. She’s got a vintage rotary phone to ring up her crooked connections, unwind beside her famously cute bird and she's hung a neon sign that knows how to kick off any party. Her hundred-year-old doors still swing with a sense of history, creaking just enough to remind you of all the past footsteps
The Space:
By day, she smells faintly of eucalyptus, inviting you to relax and breathe her in. By night, she creaks like an old soul whispering secrets — but don’t worry, she sleeps four comfortably and keeps her guests cozy no matter what. She sleeps four, cozily and crookedly, and even thought she may be sinking a little, she’s still standing proud and strong — a character-filled escape where the unexpected becomes unforgettable - lovely, eccentric, and unforgettable.
