Tucked beneath towering trees on a private 40-acre lake, Amor Vida is a peaceful, vintage-style sanctuary where birdsong, hammocks, and serenity await. A wide green lawn stretches to the water’s edge, inviting barefoot mornings and sunset picnics. Inside, the cottage is delightfully charming, well-appointed, and full of thoughtful touches — the kind of place that feels both deliciously cozy and refreshingly restorative.

Sip coffee from the porch while herons glide across the water. Stretch out in the hammock with a book or listen to the breeze dance through the trees. Whether you're here to birdwatch, stargaze, or simply unplug, Amor Vida is designed to help you slow down and savor.

Inside, you’ll find comfy beds with pristine linens, a fully equipped kitchen (yes, even the spices), and vintage charm in every corner — including a record player with a handpicked collection of classic vinyls. Outside, enjoy the fire pit under the stars, picnic tables for lakeside meals, and a wide open lawn perfect for lawn games, yoga, or doing absolutely nothing at all.

New this season: we’ve begun planting our on-site flower farm, with blooms starting to show their colors. Guests may get a first glimpse of fresh-cut bouquets or even catch us harvesting for market.

Perfect for couples, creatives, and nature lovers, Amor Vida is more than a stay — it’s a sanctuary for the senses.

    This was the perfect place to stay! We were looking for a location out of town and away from the office for our team. The house was stocked well so we could cook. The beds were very comfortable!

    Booked this house to accommodate my fiancee, 3 adult children, 3 grandchildren and 2 dogs while in town for our wedding. A few weeks before checkin our wedding venue fell through. Courtney was absolutely amazing, offered to help set up and get anything we needed. The wedding was held on the property lawn. Checkin was easy, Courtney kept in contact with us. Property is remote enough to be very quiet and peaceful but close enough to a market and 30 mins from city. There is literally everything you need in this house! Toiletries, games, waffle maker, several sets of dishes, kid dishes, ice maker. Bring your tooth brush, everything else is here. House is big enough for everyone, the lawn is huge with a fireplace, hammack, swings. There are lawn games in the game room of the house. This will be our go to everytime we come to this area. Very impressed!

    I am incredibly impressed with the home. So clean. All the small touches, it was so well done. We loved how quiet it was. We were just getting away from city life and this was the best stress relief. We appreciated the communication with the host.
