Nancy Meyers is a renowned filmmaker who has left an indelible mark on Hollywood with her distinct storytelling and keen eye for aesthetics. One of the most captivating aspects of Meyers’ films is the meticulous attention to detail she invests in creating the perfect backdrop for her characters. While her films are iconic, the spaces she designs for them are true masterpieces. From the Banks Family home in “Father of the Bride” to Erica Barry’s (Diane Keaton) Hamptons beach house in “Something’s Gotta Give,” and Jane Adler’s (Meryl Streep) Santa Barbara ranch in “It’s Complicated,” to the quaint British cottage belonging to Iris (Kate Winslet) in “The Holiday,” many people find comfort in these homes and aspire to have the same aesthetic.
These Colorado homes will make you feel like the main character in a Nancy Meyers movie. Love interest not included.

86 Gold Hill Road, Breckenridge
In “The Holiday,” Meyers takes her audience on a transatlantic journey between two vastly different homes – a charming cottage in England, and a modern, upscale mansion in Los Angeles. As the female characters in the film embark on a journey of self-discovery by swapping homes, each residence becomes as much a focal point of the plot as the women themselves.
