A

quaint black-and-white shop nestled in southern Utah, The Cottage blends timeless style with a deep sense of welcome. Created by a mother-daughter duo with a love for life’s little moments, it’s a destination where cozy meets curated, and every visit feels like stepping into your own happy place. We opened our doors in 2017. I was a few months pregnant and excited to begin a new chapter as both a mother and a business owner. When my son was born, I chose to put motherhood first and business second. That’s when my mom, Christie, stepped up to run day-to-day operations, allowing me to work from home and come and go with my little one in tow. Working together has been such a gift. We’re incredibly grateful for the time we get to spend as a family, building something we both love and believe in. The Cottage is a full-sensory experience. When you step inside, you’re greeted by our signature scent—a warm, nostalgic blend of cinnamon, orange, nutmeg, and clove (yes, you can take it home in a room spray). Overhead, the timeless voices of Michael Bublé, Frank Sinatra, and Ella Fitzgerald create an atmosphere that feels like a cozy Nancy Meyers film with a Ralph Lauren twist.
