✨ Going for a refreshing dip in a nearby swimming hole.
✨ Movie nights in the cozy film den.
✨ Curling up by the fireplace with a stack of books and a record playing.

🌼 Who We’re Looking For 🌼
This is more than a room rental — it’s a community.
Ideal housemates are:
• Warm, communicative, and collaborative
• Responsible and reliable
• Community-oriented but self-reliant
• Comfortable with monthly house meetings and shared care of the space
• Excited to contribute their special magic to the community vibe.
Kids are welcome.
Unfortunately we cannot accommodate any pets at this time.
If you’re craving nature, connection, and a chance to live more intentionally, we’d love to hear from you.
I’m Simi (she/her). I’m a black queer feminist, musician, facilitator, and community builder in my late thirties.
After 12 years in Brooklyn, I bought this fixer-upper and have spent the past year transforming it into a whimsical, magical space that is meant to foster connection and presence.
My dream has been to create a modern-day Golden Girls-esque home where femmes can build community on a deeper level.
And now, I’m so excited to get to share it.
A little about me:
✨ I love dancing, circlesinging, designing magical spaces, designing intentional gatherings, and sharing in collaborative creative projects.
🌱 I care deeply about ecology, women’s liberation, and finding new ways to build community beyond the status quo.
🌼 I’m a “bubbly introvert”—I value quiet time to recharge, but I also love being intentional about sharing meals, conversation, and creative time together.
As a housemate, I’m all about clear communication, kindness, and keeping our space feeling welcoming and peaceful. I like to have regular (monthly-ish) check-ins so we can stay connected and keep everything running smoothly.
I live here part time. When I’m at the house, you’ll often find me writing, cooking big meals, or doing yoga on the deck.
