A paired retreat where two houses become one generous gathering place

The Daylily & The Aster is not a single house but a proposition: two four-bedroom homes offered together, designed for the kind of trip where proximity matters as much as privacy. The arrangement is simple and generous. Two distinct residences, each with its own character and living spaces, share a setting that invites groups to spread out without scattering. It is the architecture of a reunion, a celebration, or a week where extended family wants to be close but not on top of one another.

Each home sleeps eight, meaning the full compound accommodates up to sixteen guests across eight bedrooms. The interiors are considered and comfortable, furnished with a sense of place that avoids the anonymity of generic vacation rentals. Living areas are designed for gathering, with open kitchens that encourage communal cooking and dining spaces scaled for long meals. The homes function independently, each self-contained with its own kitchen, bathrooms, and common areas, yet their pairing transforms the experience into something more expansive. Guests move between the two freely, borrowing a quieter corner in one house while the other fills with noise and laughter.

Managed by Hallson, the property reflects a hospitality approach rooted in curation rather than excess. The focus is on well-maintained homes with thoughtful details, the kind of places where linens feel right, kitchens are properly stocked, and the layout has clearly been tested by real groups. This is not a resort with programming and concierge desks. It is residential in the truest sense, designed for guests who want to set their own pace, cook their own meals, and let the days unfold without a schedule.

What distinguishes The Daylily & The Aster is scale without formality. Eight bedrooms across two homes creates a flexibility that a single large house rarely achieves. Parents retreat to one residence after the children have taken over the other. Friends split into early risers and late-night conversationalists without conflict. The compound format means the trip has room to breathe, and the days take on a rhythm that belongs entirely to the group. By the final morning, the two houses feel less like separate structures and more like opposite wings of the same home.
