I came here with my boys (6 and 9) and dog, and we all loved getting to stay here. The neighbors/community was so welcoming anytime we were out walking the dog or hiking the trails …and the trials from right off the property were great to explore! The property was nice to relax in - inside and especially on the porches, just really beautiful and peaceful. Plus a quick drive to some cool little cafes, restaurants, shops, beaches. Good place to stay to get fresh air and nature time, but still explore parts of LA and neighboring areas. Power went out unexpectedly during high winds (fire season) but Mary had everything set up to be fine (candles, flashlight, lighters to start time gas stove).
