A comedic anthology where guests at vacation cottages reveal their quirks and secrets through confessional guest book entries, balancing ensemble chaos with character-driven humor.

Guests bring their baggage and own special brand of crazy to a vacation cottage and record their confessions, alibis and farewells in the cottage’s guest book. Each season features a new town, and along with it a new cottage and town locals, though characters from previous season often come along for the ride.
