Lily's Lodge

Lily Wahman- Founder of Lily's Lodge

We’re excited to spotlight Lily’s Lodge, a travel business created by Lily Wahman, a fellow mom and member of our Friend of a Mom community. Lily’s journey into the travel world is deeply personal, and she’s brought that passion into her business, offering a truly unique service to fellow parents and travelers.

By day, Lily is a new mom working a 9-5 job at a Fortune 200 company, but her heart has always been in travel. After several years of travel blogging—writing about destinations, Chicago restaurants, and the travel lifestyle—Lily found herself rethinking her approach to travel once the pandemic hit. Her and her husband took advantage of their newfound work flexibility, exploring new places on extended trips while working remotely. This experience gave them the ability to explore slower and deeper, and it transformed Lily’s view of travel.

In the past, Lily thrived on a fast-paced travel style—juggling multiple destinations in one trip. But the extended travel changed everything. Lodging became more than just a place to rest; it became part of the experience itself. Through the discovery of luxury, all-inclusive lodges, Lily was able to combine relaxation with a deeper connection to the places she visited. The more she experienced this type of travel, the more she realized that lodges, with their unique charm and serenity, were the real highlight of her trips.

This realization led to the creation of Lily’s Lodges, where Lily curates a collection of luxury, all-inclusive lodges and personalized travel planning services. She provides custom travel proposals based on your family’s interests, travel dates, and group size. Whether you’re seeking a family-friendly lodge, a cozy getaway, or a place that allows you to unwind, Lily works with you to handpick the perfect accommodations and experiences. Plus, all of this comes at no cost to you, as Lily is paid directly by the hotels!

What sets Lily’s Lodges apart is its focus on a niche travel experience—lodges that combine luxury and relaxation with the cultural immersion that makes travel so special. Lily handpicks each destination and works closely with families to design a travel experience that is not only enjoyable but sustainable. Her expertise goes beyond lodges too; she is a full-service travel advisor and can assist with a wide variety of travel needs—from resort stays to beach vacations to city escapes.

Lily’s mission is to take the stress out of travel planning, offering a seamless experience from start to finish. She ensures that every trip is customized to fit your family’s needs and ensures your time away is one to remember.

Whether you’re looking to book your next getaway or just want to chat about the best destinations for your family, Lily’s Lodges is here to help.
