There is nothing that can be put into words to describe the magic of Darrell's place. Every February my husband and I take a big trip to celebrate our anniversary; Belize, Panama, Tulum, Costa Rica, Paris, etc. This year we were a bit short on funds however so decided instead to take a road trip down the coast (we live in Marin County, just outside San Francisco) and stay somewhere romantic. Of all the trips we've taken to tropical lands, none was more romantic and far away feeling than Darrell's- and it was only a 5 hour drive and a fraction of a regular hotel cost. If you want to wake up in the trees, listen to the soothing sounds of frogs and birds singing in unison and feel like you're the last two people on earth- this is the place for you. And although you'll feel isolated, you're only a 15 minute drive gorgeous drive through the canyon to Malibu or the valley. We would (and will) absolutely recommend Darrell's little nook and will definitely be booking a future stay!
