Cozy countryside cottage located on Crooked river in Naples Maine.

Hey there!

We’re Pearla and Johnny, your hosts—along with our two adventure-loving boat cats, Rogue and Wave. Whether we’re out on the water or cozied up at our cottage, we believe life is meant to be explored, enjoyed, and shared.

Pearla is a business strategist that thrives on creativity, adventure and self-care. She’s always on the move—whether traveling, working out, meditating, or gardening, you’ll usually find her outside soaking up nature. From the ocean to the mountains, kayaking to skiing, painting to cooking—she finds joy in it all. Most of all, she adores her family and the life they’ve created together.

Johnny is a Mechanical Site Supervisor in construction, traveling across the country for Air Flow specialty projects. When he’s not ensuring sturdy structures, he’s building his own—like the dock leading down to the river! He has a passion for skiing, boating, history, fine dining, and a dedicated cat dad. He’s always got a creative project in the works, making every space feel just a little more special.

In the summer, you’ll find us aboard our Marine Trader Trawler, living life on the water. When winter rolls around, we nestle into our cozy cottage, enjoying the peacefulness of the river and the vibrant energy of downtown Naples.

We love this little slice of paradise and are thrilled to share it with you. Whether you’re looking for a relaxing retreat or an adventure-filled getaway, we hope you’ll feel right at home.

Welcome to our world—we can’t wait to host you!
