25.01.2022 Happy Birthday to all those magnificent horses around the world. Such a beautiful animal. And just think... you could have your own little escape in my horse stables. There are horsey touches everywhere. Not only that... you will quite often hear and see the horses next door. Imagine lying in bed and listening to the whinny or neigh of a horse. Such a beautiful friendly sound.... I love horses. Here's a picture of one that looks like my first horse Sundance. (Named after guess who?) Jen
23.01.2022 So many beautiful people come into our lives. In so many ways. I don't even have to meet some of my guests to know just how beautiful they are. It's the emails you might get before the booking. It can be quite clearly felt from the writing. It can be the phone call if they call. ... It can be the comments they leave in my Visitors book. Or the text they send as they leave. It can even be in the way they leave the place. I am a tactile person, and I love that people enjoy touching and using the things I have in the Stables. That was part of what I wanted to create. I want them to reminisce, and enjoy the pieces. I am not precious about stuff. I like it to be used and enjoyed. If a piece breaks here and there... that's ok. It can be replaced with something else. That's the joy about vintage. We can find something similar or maybe even the same. Many have commented about the little treasures they find or the little details. That makes me happy. They 'get' me it seems. I enjoy the people who find my business because they have searched for something a bit different. Newish and clinical can have its place (of course) but many want to experience something more. And I'm glad they do because thats what I want to do. A beautiful story from a couple recently.... (written in the book)... they loved the place as it reminded them of a gorgeous old shack where they had their first kiss 12 years ago...and they haven't stopped kissing since. awwwww....... how beautiful! Of course, I got all teary reading that, but again so very validated in my passion of providing that which I love to others. Jen
23.01.2022 My new listing on airbnb. If you can't beat em... I guess you have to join em!
23.01.2022 For those of us who adore horses. I think you will love this. Jen
21.01.2022 How nice to get an email like this from my weekend guests... "....We absolutely loved your place, everything about it was amazing!! Especially the decor, my sister and I almost picked the whole place up and took it home! :) Look forward to staying again in the future! "... I love my guests and why I do this!
21.01.2022 I am so thrilled with my bookings since joining "Airbnb". Not sure why it took me so long to join them. They are the fastest growing accommodation business in the world and thankfully they are picking me up many more bookings. I haven't missed a weekend since joining them. Awesome! Last weeks guests from Geelong left me a beautiful comment. And especially nice as I have just celebrated Vintage Heaven's fourth birthday on 11/11. "Delightful! Stayed for a wedding at one of... the local winery's and this was the perfect place for our child free getaway. Beautifully renovated stables, amazing attention to detail with the vintage styling and candles. Peaceful, relaxing, comfy bed and breaky supplies... What more could you need. Highly recommended. Jenny was lovely and very easy to contact." Looking forward to welcoming my two sets of guests for this weekend. Jen
21.01.2022 My lovely guests over the weekend left the most beautiful review. "The place is so great and we suggest it's even better than the description. We love the decor and the atmosphere there and trust it's perfect for a romantic escape! Jenny is a wonderful host and for sure we will visit again! "... These things make you feel good about what you do. Love my beautiful guests and so glad I can help them have a lovely weekend.
20.01.2022 Recent guests. "Our stay at Vintage Heaven was beautiful. The place has an abundance of charm and there were small treasures everywhere. Such attention to detail and it really felt like we had stepped back in time, perfect place to relax. ... Jenny was an absolute pleasure to deal with, communication was great and she went above and beyond. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again and will be certainly recommending it. Thank you Jenny for a perfect stay"
20.01.2022 How lovely when guests take some beautiful pictures of your property. Here's some lovely shots from the weekend. Jen
19.01.2022 Well hello! I know it has been remiss of me not posting for quite some time.... but feeling refreshed after a lovely holiday in France... a dream coming true of visiting such a county of history, and also getting the opportunity to explore other properties listed for accommodation it made me realise perhaps I have been a tad slack in writing for a while. Yes....my bookings for Vintage Heaven have had a great couple of years with most weekends booked and I am very proud of tha...t... but I should really be still trying to expand by sharing my loves and joys of vintage, antiques and homes of age and character. I'll share some pictures of what I saw and also show you a glimpse of some treasures I snaffled and have brought home. Actually a couple of parcels are still to get here as I had to post them or I would have exceeded baggage allowances. My favourite items were of course linens and chandeliers. No chandelier came home (drat) but I got to admire so many in homes and shops. French chandeliers are to die for. But the linen.... oh the linen... well... what can you say but I was quite simply freaking out. I have bought antique sheets from France on ebay before, plus through a contact I have in Victoria... and I just adore the age and quality. I get the greatest pleasure in seeing monogrammed sheets and love snuggling under antique sheets on my antique beds. If washing is up to date, my guests quite often have an antique sheet as the top sheet in my stables and I have had lovely feedback about that. Perhaps you might like to stay and sample some of my vintage dreaminess. Jen
18.01.2022 A nice little piece in "Weekend Notes" about one of our local cafe's. How long since you've been to Healesville? So many wonderful places to eat and stay. Happy to recommend my favourites when you stay at my little piece of Heaven. Jen
18.01.2022 So many lovely people come to stay. I do so love this part of my life where I can share my passion for vintage things amongst my guests. So heart warming also to find I have hit 50 people who wish to stay at my property. I like very much that AirBnb have a section where people can put you down as a favourite. How nice to know that.... I've found a place I have wished as well. Hopefully I can stay there one day. Everything done nicely vintage. My kinda place - of course! My guests from last weekend's review.... "Wonderful romantic getaway spot! Jenny's attention to detail shines through in this cosy cottage. We didn't want to leave and will certainly be visiting again! Thanks Jenny! " A pleasure! An absolute pleasure! Jen
15.01.2022 How could I not buy this beautiful old book for my stables? 1918.
15.01.2022 Yes.... you can certainly have one of these alarm clocks at Vintage Heaven. I have all three kinds of clock here! Once you're awake - tuck into my yummy breakfast supplies or take a walk into town for a scrumptious breakfast at one of our many eateries. Always willing to give you my favourite recommendations.... Booked an escape yet? Jen
10.01.2022 Brown paper packages tied up in string. How delightful it is when I get my soaps in the mail from Sally's Soap Shoppe. What nicer way to receive a package than this when you love all things vintage.... Mmmmm... Now to open it and bathe in the fragrances of the handmade soaps with pure essential oils. When you stay with me, you too can enjoy these beautiful products. Jen
07.01.2022 Nice to wake up to this this morning. "Hi Jenny, Your guests are loving what you’re doing! You’ve gotten five 5-star reviews in a row. It takes a lot of work to make such a great impression on travellers, and you’re doing it consistently. Thanks for being a conscientious and welcoming host. ... Keep up the fantastic work! The Airbnb Team " True... I do love my little business and am ever so grateful to get great feedback.
06.01.2022 Have a beautiful weekend everyone. Is it time to take time for yourself? Replenish your spirit at somewhere beautiful. ... Jen
02.01.2022 It's all in the details! When are you booking a weekend escape?
01.01.2022 Popping in to share a beautiful review from last weekend. Sorry I haven't been on here much as I have started a new job during the week. But Vintage Heaven is still open for business... Thankyou so much to this lovely couple for such a detailed review... LOVED our stay at Vintage Heaven! Everything was too easy! SO MUCH food was provided, that after a night at a hotel we were so excited to be making home cooked meals, and this cottage was exactly the environment to enjoy... them. The decor was gorgeous, the bath was yummy and the fire pit added a bit of country to this weekend away. We watched some TV, snug in the blankets, roasted marshmallows on the fire, had a bath and cooked breakfast in the morning in addition to the abundance of activities in healesville itself. Would definitely stay here again! Thank you Jenny for being such an easy host :) Replenishes my sould to read reviews like this. Thankyou to this lovely couple.
01.01.2022 Horses and dogs. What an awesome combination. How unique. Love it!
01.01.2022 Love horses? Well you all know I do... but how about watching this amazing horse. Did you know horses could dance? Amazing dressage piece.... Enjoy! Jen
