Intentional Hospitality at 8,000 Feet | Rocky & Gianni Donati, The Forgotten Cabins

Today we're joined by an amazing couple who embody what it means to create intentional spaces in the mountains of Utah. With over 11 years of hosting experience, they've transformed a treehouse and a 1970s hand-built cabin into magical retreats that offer more than just beautiful design—they create experiences that hold space for life's tender moments.We'll explore how they discovered these unique properties just steps from their own A-frame home, their philosophy of preservation over new construction, and the delicate balance they've found between real estate development and honoring the character of original spaces.Their approach to hospitality goes beyond business metrics, focusing instead on creating human connections and designing with purpose. From installing windows that frame perfect mountain views to replacing a planned glass floor with a hammock that became a guest favorite, their story reminds us that sometimes the most meaningful elements emerge from constraints.Whether you're curious about curating spaces that encourage disconnection from technology, handling the unique challenges of managing properties at 8,000 feet elevation, or simply creating experiences that help burnt-out travelers reconnect with nature and themselves, this conversation offers both practical wisdom and heartfelt reflection.INSTAGRAM@theforggotencabins@cozyrockcabin@cozycampsebec@cozycabinbooneBOOKING SITESThe Forgotten Cabins Website: https://theforgottencabins.comBook the Treehouse Utah: https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/3635074?source_impression_id=p3_1745247103_P3w90uh9RJgavIWZBook the Hideaway Utah: https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/50888753?source_impression_id=p3_1745247121_P3nu3hsSyhGOmeMGCozy Rock Cabin: https://staycozycabin.holidayfuture.com/listings/311027Cozy Cabin Boone: https://staycozycabin.holidayfuture.com/listings/311026Cozy Camp Sebec: https://staycozycabin.holidayfuture.com/listings/311051Cozy Rock Website: http://www.staycozycabin.comBook a Cabin Consultation Here:  http://www.staycozycabin.com
