There are no unpleasant surprises staying with Deb. Everything listed for the place is accurate. Deb is very good about communication with you and making sure everything goes smoothly. If you were to imagine an ideal host, Deb would surpass even that ideal. The place is cozy and serene, and the view is to die for. The cookies that Deb promises upon arrival are heavenly and greatly appreciated after a long trip! She provides you with a book of reccomendations, which we referenced a lot. One restaurant we went to twice for breakfast, the Topanga table, was amazing and we learned about it through her helpful book! I Highly recommend staying here. thank you deb!
