Welcome to the Sweetheart Hideaway
If you’re a fan of retro design, kitschy details, and romantic nostalgia, then you need to know about Margaret and Corey Bienert, the creative couple behind the viral sensation, A Pretty Cool Hotel Tour. This dynamic duo has spent the last several years traveling across America, documenting some of the most iconic theme hotels and fantasy suites in the country.
From heart-shaped tubs and mirrored ceilings to shag carpets and velvet everything, their content is a love letter to vintage and kitsch interiors. They haven't stopped at just showcasing quirky hotels, as they've created their own dreamy get-away.
Their latest project, the Sweetheart Hideaway, is a vacation rental located in Southwest Michigan. Think 1970s love motel meets cosy cabin getaway. Every room is carefully curated with authentic vintage finds, mood lighting, and playful surprises.
One of our favourite spaces? The sunken living room, featuring a built-in stage for all your performance needs!
We were beyond excited to spot our Chain of Fools wallpaper in Ginger making a bold, statement in the Sweetheart Hideaway's incredible sunken lounge. Our retro-inspired pattern adds just the right amount of funk and flair to this already unforgettable space.
The Ginger colorway pairs beautifully with the room’s warm tones, plush textures, and moody lighting — making it a dream setting for lovers of all things mid-century modern and vintage maximalism.
