....a vegetarian, self-catering, rental cottage in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

About Us and the House

We are your neighbors, Gary and Cara.  We are strict vegetarians with a house full of rescued animals.

We bought Haskell's House to make sure it would not be demolished to build another soulless town house complex or a McMansion.  After purchasing it, we spent much of our free time  scraping, patching and painting the interior to our standards.  Many distinguished environmental, social justice and animal rights activists have made use of the house for various causes in the past four years.  The house is named for Haskell who was our wonderful cat.  He decided this house was his and he guarded it and slept in it for years until he passed on. We like to think the house has acquired some good karma.

We love England and have spent wonderful vacations there in self-catering cottages, but always wished we could find a solely vegetarian establishment.  We decided that rather than rent this house full time, we'd make it available for other like-minded people to use for their vacations. 

For Haskell's House we look for guests who will appreciate the house's laid-back feeling, quirky period charm and the way we've set it up to embody and foster environmental responsibility. It's the perfect place for a quiet restful, low-key, stay. We live right next door and enjoy the atmosphere and energy created by content, appreciative guests. We hope many wonderful people will enjoy Haskell's House.
