Deborah's guest house is a wonderful location. Surrounded by California live oak trees, it's a small cottage next to the larger house, and feels far off the "beaten path". Yet, it's not actually that far away from the hubbub of what one usually interprets of Southern California. We were in the area for a family event a few miles away, so spent very little time at Deborah's place; however, had we wanted to cook all amenities, including spices, were available. In addition, bagels and fruit, as well as coffee and tea, were provided for the first morning; greatly appreciated for late arrivals who hadn't even thought to stop for breakfast fixings!
