For me, a staycation has typically involved finding a hotel deal downtown, doing embarrassingly touristy things like paying too much for cocktails and making ridiculously early or scandalously late reservations at the new cool-kid restaurant, and throwing shade at actual tourists.



     It’s not uncommon for guests, especially wedding and birthday parties, to rent out the whole place for the weekend, and it feels so much like someone’s house that owners Shawn Uldridge and Kimberly Lowery have found folks crashed out on the common-area couch in front of the two-sided fireplace.


     Staycation challenge: accepted.  v
