BY SOPHIE MANCINI

I met one of my dearest friends, Chaconne, in college. She grew up in Portland,
Oregon, and now lives in LA, which I find funny, knowing her. She adores cold,
rainy days and hot tea, curling up on the couch with a book as it pours.
Recently, our head of production visited the Harbor House Inn. Reading her
description of this historic hotel, perched above a cove in the misty untouched
town of Elk, California, reminded me of Chaconne. In my mind’s eye, we’d meet
there, catching up beside the roaring fireplace. Or perhaps we’d instead bundle
up and head to Montana for a romp in the snow at Paws Up. A dog lover, she’d
swoon over the property’s Alaskan huskies.

 



 

This moment in history has really got me thinking about old friends, simpler
times — this kind of human connectivity — more than ever. Our columnist Ivy
Elrod discusses foraging as a fun-filled family activity, along with fungi’s
rise to popularity, in a fascinating read on why mushrooms are having a moment.

 



 

On the topic of connection and longing, I return to Italian journalist Mario
Calvo-Platero’s deeply moving essay, “Paradise Lost and Found” — an epic,
generation-spanning tale of his return to Tripoli 40 years after exile. Talk
about a delicious read for a rainy day.

THE HARBOR HOUSE INN IS THE PERFECT CALIFORNIA GETAWAY

 

Built in 1916 by the Goodyear Redwood Company as a place to entertain and
showcase its redwood empire, this 11-room boutique hotel transports visitors to
a simpler time.

A WONDERLAND OF NATURAL LUXURY

 

Dogsledding, horseback riding, and Ponderosa pines as far as the eye can see —
just a few things you might find at the Resort at Paws Up in Greenough, Montana.

READ STORY

 



 


NOTEWORTHY

 

Lightning strikes twice. I recently had the pleasure of speaking with 2020
Booker Prize recipient Douglas Stuart about his first novel, “Shuggie Bain.” His
second novel, “Young Mungo,” is already receiving acclaim. Snag a copy on
pre-order at your local bookshop.

 

Kind of a BIG deal. Over the course of two very cool days, I hung out with
starchitect Bjarke Ingels and his architecture firm, BIG (Bjarke Ingels Group).
BIG’s Vine Light, designed for Artemide Lighting, just won a Wallpaper Design
Award for Best Line Work.
