I’ve bought hundreds of this lavender oil over the years, and once you try it, you’ll understand why. 🌿

This little bottle is my secret to creating calm, cozy spaces that smell absolutely heavenly. I use it in every single Villa, and guests constantly ask what the scent is because it makes them feel instantly relaxed. ✨

Whether you drop it in a diffuser, freshen up laundry, or add a touch to your pillow, this lavender oil transforms your home into the peaceful retreat you’ve been craving.

💜 Comment OIL and I’ll send you the link to grab yours before it sells out again.

You can book a stay in our villas at MindenStays.com. We would love to host you!

Partnering with Rocket Mortgage

Imagine being a young teacher in the early 1900s, climbing these stairs after a long day in the classroom.

This second floor of the Fuller White House once served as a teacherage: a place where educators lived and built their lives in our community.

Fast forward to today, and we’re giving this historic space a brand new purpose: transforming it into office spaces that will once again serve the people of Minden.

It’s history reborn, and I can’t wait to see the stories that will unfold here next.

Restorations like this remind me that the right support can turn big dreams into reality. Whether you’re buying your first home or leveraging a home equity line of credit to bring new life to an old space, Rocket mortgage can help make it possible. 🏡✨

Let me know below what questions I can answer about this renovation project and stay tuned to see the full reveal very soon!

Meet sweet Tracye! We have been connected through Simply Southern Cottage for sooooo many years.

When I was finishing out the villas, she sent us a couple of pieces of art she created and they are hanging in Annie at The Villas at Spanish Court!

Last Christmas her hubby emailed me and wanted to get her and her bestie a surprise trip to Minden as her Christmas gift. We set it all up and this week, they are in the friendliest city in the south all the way from North Carolina! How fun is that?!

If you see them around town the next few days, give them a big, warm Minden welcome! ❤️❤️❤️
