💔 With Broken Hearts and Grateful Hearts… ❤️
Last Thursday, we lost our OG, On the Rocks Cottage, to a devastating fire. It’s hard to put into words what it feels like to lose a place that holds so many memories, so much hard work, and so much love. We are absolutely heartbroken.
But in the middle of the devastation, we are reminded of what matters most: people, community, and the kindness of others.
We want to say a heartfelt THANK YOU to the five fire departments who responded and fought so hard to put out the fire. Your bravery, dedication, and tireless efforts mean more to us than words can ever express. Most importantly, thank you for working so hard to save the rest of our neighborhood. We will never forget what you did.
To our friends, neighbors, and even complete strangers who showed up to help, offered support, checked on us, sent messages, or simply let us know we weren’t alone — THANK YOU. Every single act of kindness has meant more than you know.
We are devastated by the loss of our cottage, but we are beyond grateful that no one was hurt and that so much more of our neighborhood was saved. Buildings can be rebuilt, but lives cannot be replaced.
As heartbreaking as this loss is, we know this isn’t the end of the story. It’s the beginning of a new chapter. When the time is right, we will start planning the next phase for On the Rocks Cottage. We plan to come back bigger and better, taking everything we’ve learned over the years and listening to what our guests truly want and need in a vacation rental. Our goal is to create something even more special — a place where new memories can be made, families and friends can gather, and the spirit of the original On the Rocks Cottage can live on. It won’t happen overnight, but we are looking forward to rebuilding with purpose, heart, and a whole lot of love.
To everyone who has reached out, offered a helping hand, or kept us in your thoughts, please know that we see you, we appreciate you, and we will never forget your kindness. In one of the hardest moments we’ve faced, you have reminded us just how much good there is in this world.
On the Rocks Cottage may be gone, for now, but the memories made there, the love poured into it, and the people who have been part of its story will always remain.
From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU.
