The Design Suite
This 900-square-foot apartment is more than a rental; it is a reflection of our heart for design. Curated with elevated décor and connected to our Yingling Builders Design Studio, every detail is intended to create a calming, stress-free environment that feels like home from the moment you arrive.
Meet your Hosts
By trade, we build homes, and through that work we’ve learned how important the little things matter – how a space functions, how it makes you feel, and how it supports the people using it. That same mindset carries into how we host. We believe good hospitality is about being thoughtful, reliable, and present when you need us. Our goal is to provide a place that’s well done, well cared for, and easy to enjoy.
