Going Grand Getaways emerged from a passion for travel, adventure, hospitality, and entrepreneurship. Inspired by the rise of Airbnb, Caitlin’s journey shifted from traditional hotels to immersing in local cultures through home stays. As Caitlin and Mike, lifelong friends since middle school, combined their love for travel, hosting, and craftsmanship, they decided to invest only in places they cherish spending time in. With support and encouragement from Caitlin’s father Tim, well-versed in real estate, Going Grand Getaways was born. The name reflects their favorite travel destination, Ireland, where “Goin Grand” signifies doing just fine, blending seamlessly with the American notion of Grand, denoting attractiveness and style.
