Cosmopolitan Retreats was founded by Verna Maxwell, a former travel nurse whose career took her into cities and communities across the country. Through years of living away from home while serving patients and healthcare facilities, she experienced the challenges that working professionals face when searching for secure, reliable, and welcoming temporary housing. Those experiences shaped her belief that everyone deserves a place that supports their wellbeing, regardless of how long they stay.

With a deep understanding of the demands of travel, relocation, and transitional living, Verna built Cosmopolitan Retreats to offer thoughtfully designed accommodations that combine the comfort of home with the reliability of professional hospitality. Her mission is rooted in compassion, lived experience, and a commitment to elevating the standard of temporary housing for travelers, medical professionals, and individuals in transition.

Today, she continues to lead Cosmopolitan Retreats with a focus on dignity, convenience, and customer-centered service—ensuring every guest receives the support and care they deserve.
