Really liked this. I didn't know I wanted to read this article, but Substack Reads did a good pitch, and now I have strong opinions about the aesthetic for my hypothetical vacation home, so that my hypothetical vacations are more enjoyable.
We’re so privileged and rarified that we don’t *need* comfort.
If we find ourselves in a weak moment, the “comfort cottage” out back is for that. But officially we call it “the annex”.
We’re hardly ever here, anyway. Maybe a couple times per summer. We just bought the property to drive up the local tax rate and ensure the riff-raff in the area can never afford to have a vacation home anywhere near us.
Hahahaha as a vacation rental owner myself I’m laughing because you are so spot on. And it’s all about having less to dust and less for guests to stain.

Exactly how I felt. 😂
That’s 3 of us!

These interiors are supremely “god-awful”.
This is gold. 🤣

This reads like it was written by an AI bot installed on a Comador 64. What the hell.
