Who can resist a Nancy Meyersâinspired interior? Fans of the filmmakerâs signature cozy aesthetic will soon have the chance to immerse themselves in her world. In The Holiday, Meyersâs beloved 2006 rom-com, Kate Winslet and Cameron Diazâs characters swap homes; Iris (Winslet) stays in Amandaâs (Diaz) swanky Los Angeles manse and Amanda settles into Irisâs quaint English country house. Though no such cottage existed in real lifeâit was built on a soundstage for the filmâthe fictional Surrey padâs enduring fan-favorite status inspired Lucy Small of State and Season Home Design and Supply to construct a faithful replica of the dwelling, which will soon open for visitors looking to step inside the Christmas classic. Located in Ellijay, Georgia (about an hour from Atlanta), the two-story cottage, situated on over six acres of property, will trade the English countryside vista for mountain views.
âWeâve gone to great lengths to ensure an accurate detailed layout that blends cute and cozy with the perfect kitsch circa 2006,â reads The Holiday Cottageâs official booking website. Renderings show interiors that appear nearly identical to those in the film, including a fireplace-warmed living room with stone walls, exposed beams, and a well-stocked bookshelf. The kitchen is complete with blue shaker-style cabinets and another cozy fireplaceâplus a âkettle with tea selectionsâ at the ready, per the site.
Upstairs, the primary bedroom hosts yet another fireplace, as well as tall vaulted ceilings and a king bed. The famous tiny bathroom with a soaking tub that Diaz struggles to fit into in the film is also present, though it looks to beâthankfullyâsized up for comfort. A patio with a fire pit and a hot tub top off the outdoor amenities.

Though itâs not in England, Ellijay has no shortage of cozy activities fit for a rom-com. The petite mountain town is known as the apple picking capital of Georgia and is home to numerous orchards, wineries, hiking trails, and an apple festival every October.
Bookings for the two-bedroom residence will open on November 7, with stays beginning in October 2025.
