Rachel

Rooted in a passion for culinary arts and heartfelt connections, my hospitality journey is about crafting experiences that nourish the soul. Each stay is a celebration of comfort, community, and the joy of sharing life's finer details.

  • The moment that inspired me to open Prodigal Daughter was when I realized how deeply food and hospitality could connect people. After spending years honing my craft in kitchens around the world, I longed for a space where I could share not just great meals but also a sense of warmth and community. This place became my dream—an extension of my passion for culinary arts, a love for beautiful surroundings, and the joy of welcoming others into a home where they could feel truly cared for.

  • I want my hospitality to create meaningful connections that go beyond the surface, fostering a sense of belonging and shared experience. By offering a space where guests can disconnect from the hustle and reconnect with each other, I hope to inspire more thoughtful, slow travel that values quality over quantity. Through the personal touches in every meal and every stay, I aim to show how hospitality can be a catalyst for deeper relationships, joy, and lasting memories, ultimately altering the way we travel, connect, and support one another.
