Hi, I’m Teri Chambers—artist, storyteller, and creator of The Front Porch™, a monthly welcome gift box that helps cabin rental companies create a signature guest experience through art and story. Each box tells a story—about the place, the season, and the feeling of being somewhere unforgettable. Rooted in my own nature-based photography and artwork, every piece is designed to make guests feel something: calm, inspired, connected. With just a simple placement by your team, you spark more 5-star reviews, return bookings, and referrals—without adding more to your plate.As both a creative and business owner, I’ve learned that storytelling isn’t just for artists—it’s how great brands are built. Alongside the experience box, I also offer The Front Porch™ Marketing Newsletter, a monthly resource designed to help cabin owners communicate more easily and consistently with guests. While it isn’t part of the physical box, it supports your overall marketing plan and helps keep your cabins top of mind.Below, I’ve shared a collection of my own articles and resources—written from the perspective of an artist and business owner—about blending beauty, strategy, and meaning in both guest experience and creative work.Because when you lead with story, guests don’t just stay… They remember.
