My father is from Colombia and my mother is Greek, so hospitality is in my DNA. I grew up in Chicago in a family where cooking, gathering, and making people feel welcome were part of everyday life.
I’ve been traveling since childhood to visit family abroad, and my sister and I have spent our adult lives exploring the world—often by eating our way through markets, trying new recipes, and connecting with people over a shared meal. Those experiences inspired me to create a place that feels both welcoming and special.
I designed Casa Buena Vida as a place to bring people together. The open kitchen and spacious countertops were inspired by countless dinners with friends and family, where everyone could cook side by side (and there was plenty of room for sous chefs!). I wanted it to be more than a beach house—I wanted it to feel like a retreat where you can relax, reconnect, and enjoy the good life.
Casa Buena Vida was fully renovated in 2023 with care and intention. From the terraces overlooking the lake to the comfortable bedrooms with ensuite baths, every detail reflects my love of spaces that feel thoughtfully prepared and easy to enjoy.
Though I likely won’t meet you in person during your stay, my hope is that the house feels warm, comfortable, and thoughtfully prepared—a place where you can make wonderful memories with the people who matter most.
When I’m not hosting or planning my next adventure, I work in IT and spend as much time as I can outdoors—hiking, cycling, or simply soaking up the beauty of everyday life.
I look forward to sharing this special place with you.

Miller Beach is close to Chicago and somehow feels as far away as you can get. The State and National parks here are beautiful in every season, with endless trails and quiet places to explore. I love the wide water views and how the sky changes at sunset—it’s always different and always beautiful. It’s a place where you can slow down, enjoy nature, and feel refreshed.
この宿泊施設の特徴
I’ve stayed in many vacation rentals with friends and family and often found they weren’t really set up for groups—never enough chairs, dishes, or room in the fridge for all the food and drinks. When I designed Casa Buena Vida, those details were a priority.
The house was completely renovated in 2023 to be both welcoming and practical. The kitchen has lots of counter space, a big dining table, and two beverage fridges so everyone’s food and drinks fit comfortably. Two bedrooms have ensuite bathrooms, which makes sharing the space with friends or extended family feel easy.
Guests often tell me they love how many thoughtful touches there are, from beach chairs and blankets to the cozy spots to gather or find a little quiet time. One of my favorite things, all year round, is sitting on the porch or by the windows to watch the colors of the sky and lake at sunset—no two evenings ever look the same.
The location is also special—just a short, beautiful walk to the beach and close to hiking trails in the state and national parks. In summer, it’s perfect for swimming and relaxing. In fall, it’s peaceful and uncrowded. In winter, it becomes a cozy retreat where you can cook, play games, and watch the lake change with the weather.
Past guests have called Casa Buena Vida “the best place we’ve stayed,” “beautifully designed for families,” and “thoughtfully prepared with everything we needed.” I look forward to sharing this space with you and hope you feel at home here. May it help you slow down, reconnect, and enjoy every season.
