The interior design was so inspiring — colors, textures, layouts. It felt like walking through a living Pinterest board. I left with a phone full of photos and a head full of ideas.

We came for the homes, but the fall foliage and mountain charm made the whole weekend unforgettable. This will be an annual event for us!

The attention to detail in every home blew us away — from reclaimed wood beams to custom flooring and stonework, it was absolutely next-level.
