This millennial home designer spent 9 months building a replica of 'The Holiday' cottage-now it's renting fast at $499 a night | Fortune
"Superfans of The Holiday can now rent out a replica of the quaint English cottage where fictional Hollywood bigwig Amanda Woods (played by Cameron Diaz) was charmed by heartthrob British book editor Graham (played by Jude Law). They'll have to wait four months, and make the trek to Georgia instead of the Cotswolds. Home designer Lucy Small put The Holiday Cottage up for short-term rentals this October after a nine-month build-and a fan frenzy quickly ensued."
""The Holiday Cottage was really a fun thing. I was like, 'Hey, why don't I do this? I have everything at my disposal to be able to do it, I know how to build, and I can find land,' Small tells Fortune, adding she's a fan of the iconic movie. 'Honestly, it was just one of those situations where I had this wacky idea, and everyone got excited about it, and no one stopped me.'""
Lucy Small built a full-scale replica of Rosehill Cottage from The Holiday and listed it for short-term rentals in October after a nine-month construction. The replica sits in Georgia, requiring fans to travel instead of visiting the Cotswolds. Small has six years of design experience in the Blue Ridge Mountains and has worked on three dozen houses across projects from remodels to new construction. The original Rosehill Cottage never existed in real life, making the replica a created destination for superfans. The Holiday remained highly streamed, with 2.3 million streams in 2023 according to Samba TV, driving rapid fan interest.
