No way!

My jaw dropped, my stomach dropped. The beautiful cottage in "The Holiday" was just a fake movie set! So much for my dream cottage :(. Well I guess technically it is a movie and movies are fake but aah how lovely it would be. I can just imagine coming home to a nice warm, cozy home, drinking hot tea, getting into the old tub surrounded by rocks with candles and rose petals. Here's what I'm talking about...


This is Cameron Diaz as Amanda Woods soaking in the tub.



The kitchen reminded me of warm cookies, hot coco and a great conversation. Although this is a movie set it feels sooo cozy and inviting. Hollywood's AMAZING!


Oh my beams, I love the fireplace and the not-matching-but-matching furniture. For some reason this bedroom reminds me of Christmas. I want to snuggle up and watch the fire while reading a great book.


The "Rose Hill Cottage" this is really just a plastered facade on an open piece of land...sniff, sniff, tear, tear.


Dan in Real Life
I HAD to find out if this was a fake also because it seemed so original, like it couldn't be. It's not a fake but, it's a summer rental house in Jamestown, Rhode Island. "Riven Rock" is this summer estate's name, on 2 waterfront acres overlooking the "West Passage", includes "Riven Rock", built in 1911, and "Pebble" guest house, rented separately. This is a perfect summer retreat or family reunion setting. The Pebble is heated and is rented in the winter as well as in the summer. It's pretty steep between $5,700-$6200 a week. Hey, at least it's real...
