Hallmark’s Ashley Williams Doesn’t Live As Lavishly As You’d Expect

Ashley Williams has rested her weary head in the oddest of places. It’s a good thing she can seemingly get comfortable easily because she spent many months being rootless. She and Neal Dodson used to live in New York with their two sons, Gus and Odie. But then the pandemic hit. According to Williams, her family’s Airbnb era began in March 2020 while they were all in Canada together. Williams was directing her first movie, and production had to be halted. “We met a cab driver named Davis who was willing to drive us across the border from Canada. … We decided to rent an Airbnb for a week while things ‘calmed down’ in New York,” she recalled in an Instagram post. They ended up making the long drive from Washington to California instead.

In a February 2021 Instagram update on her living situation, Williams wrote: “I’ve crashed with family, in hotels, probably ten different Airbnb’s. This masked, nomadic life is colorful, strange and inspiring.” By November 2022, the number of Airbnb rentals Williams had temporarily called home was up to 29. Thankfully, she and Dodson had finally decided to purchase a home by then, but Williams described it as “a fixer upper.” According to Worldwide Interiors, the couple bought the four-bed, two-bath residence located in Studio City for $2 million. Despite the hefty price tag, that’s a pretty modest home by celeb standards.
