TRAVELING PRIVATE CHEF SERVICES
Luxury in-home dining for retreats, lake weekends, mountain escapes, beach vacations & destination events across the Southeast.
Whether you're planning a mountain retreat, celebrating at a lakeside Airbnb, gathering three generations at the beach, or hosting a girls’ weekend in a gorgeous rental home, The Tiny Chef brings the magic to you.
Chef Susanne Dillingham creates deeply personal, seasonal menus rooted in farm-to-table ingredients, Italian training, and soulful storytelling.
We cook on-site in your VRBO, Airbnb, cabin, beach house, lake house, mountain chalet, city loft, or vacation rental—anywhere your celebration leads.
This is not catering.
This is a private chef experience—intimate, intentional, beautifully curated, and tailored to your group.
From handmade pastas to seasonal tasting menus, wine-paired dinners to weekend-long chef service, your getaway becomes unforgettable from the very first bite.
What Makes This Different
This isn’t drop-off catering or disposable trays.
It’s a private chef experience crafted for your people and your moment.
We design a personalized menu, shop for every ingredient, bring all equipment, prepare each course on-site, serve beautifully at the table, and leave your kitchen spotless.
Restaurant-quality dining—without leaving your rental home
