Building Trust and Care in Cabin Hosting l Serenitree Stays
On this episode the Cabin Culture Podcast, Yani Brannley, owner of Serenitree Stays, shares her journey of starting a cabin rental business in North Carolina. She was introduced to cabin culture later in life thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic and her husband's illness inspired them to seek solace in the mountains. Yani explains the financial considerations and market trends they considered before investing in cabins, her insights on the importance of creating a cozy and welcoming atmosphere in each cabin through thoughtful decor and amenities, and the challenges and rewards of managing the rehab and renovation process, including finding local contractors and navigating structural work.

A Nature Retreat l The Conscious Cabin
In this heartwarming episode of Cabin Culture, we delve into the inspiring journey of Cassouki, the creator of the Conscious Cabin nestled in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. From a childhood spent in nature to a fast-paced career in Boston, Cassouki shares how a series of life-altering events led her back to the tranquility of the woods. Discover how the Conscious Cabin became a sanctuary for healing, creativity, and community, and how Kazuki's vision extends beyond just a retreat space, aiming to nurture and empower others through connection with nature and self. This is the second episode that has brought me to tears, which Sean keeps reminding me didn’t even happen at your wedding. So if you’re thinking about this one, DON’T. You will be so grateful for the perspective that Cassouki brings to cabin culture, and your life.

Always fun and full of value
I love listening to Cabin Culture when I’m driving to my rental house in the woods (not a cabin 😉). The interviews are great - diverse, real, and funny - I love the honest approach Janice brings to cabin culture, and hosting in general, and the portfolio of guests has been awesome. Always eager to the next! Thank you 💛💛
