These aren't just aspirations—they're the living foundation of everything we do. From the way we restore weathered porches to the care we bring to every guest interaction, these principles guide our hands and our hearts.
For us, hospitality is never a transaction—it's a craft we practice daily. We create spaces where people feel genuinely welcomed, deeply safe, and truly at peace. It's in every freshly laundered pillowcase, every handwritten note, every thoughtful conversation. We are hosts in the truest, oldest sense of the word: keepers of the hearth who consider your comfort our honor.
Our homes have weathered decades, some more than a century. We see ourselves as their temporary stewards, not their owners—we're simply this generation's caretakers in a long line of people who've called these walls home. We honor their past through careful, loving repair, and we ensure their future by making them sustainable and resilient for generations we'll never meet.
A home is so much more than four walls and a roof. It extends into the soil beneath our feet, the gardens that feed us, and the neighbors who share our street. Our victory gardens are vital organs of each property—providing food, yes, but also beauty, purpose, and a tangible connection to the rhythms of the earth. We invite our crew and guests to know the profound, simple pleasure of eating a tomato still warm from the sun.
We reject the disposable, the mass-produced, the soulless. True luxury, we've learned, lives in a well-made chair rescued from a thrift store, in the satisfaction of a skilled repair, in the creativity required to work with what we already have. This isn't just sustainable—though it is. It's how we fill our homes with character, history, and stories worth telling.
Our homes are intentional sanctuaries from the noise of the world. They're quiet havens for rest, reflection, and deep rejuvenation—especially vital for our guests, many of whom are healthcare workers giving everything they have to help others heal. We cultivate and fiercely protect a culture of mutual respect, where peace isn't just preferred, it's sacred.
We weave every aspect of the SILK YACHT philosophy into the fabric of our homes—creating balanced spaces that nurture the whole person. Yoga and movement. Arts and creativity. Cafe culture and nourishment. True hospitality. Modern connectivity. These aren't separate amenities we've added; they're integrated elements of how we believe people should live. Every corner of our properties is designed to support wellness, creativity, community, comfort, and the technology that connects us—all in equal measure, all in harmony.
These aren't aspirational statements we hung on the wall—they're the living foundation of every decision we make. From the morning we greet a guest to the evening we harvest the last of the lettuce, our principles guide our hands, our words, and our work. This is how we actually live.
