I am so grateful to have found this little gem. The Creative Suite was exactly what I needed- a quaint, cozy, zen-like space right in nature where I could be inspired, take some quiet time for myself, and regroup. David and his team were always accommodating and responsive- they are genuine, caring people. I loved being at his funky compound...it was an amazing experience especially after having lived in the city for so long. The location is great as it is 25 min to the westside and to the valley and only 15 minutes to the beach in Malibu! Hiking trails are all close by, being in the mountains- so me and my little dog loved it.
This secluded sanctuary of a wilderness community was an absolute dream. I liked that the space stayed a consistent, comfortable temperature inside- even during the hotter days. I also enjoyed taking nice, hot baths in the deep bathtub, and having my own little kitchen separate from the main house to cook in. The communal space (the main house) is right next door is you need anything, but it's never loud and there's never that many people in there if at all. It was nice not to feel any pressure to be social or have to interact much with other guests unless it was natural...so, if your looking to get away for yourself or with a loved one, don't think that because this is a compound establishment that you cannot do this- it's actually sooo peaceful and your space here is always respected. It's all just good, comfortable vibes.
If you bring your pup, be aware that you cannot leave your animal unattended at the property because it's one of the ground rules, which was fine for me since my dog is a service animal. Also, there are coyotes in the area- especially at night and sometimes I've heard them passing by howling & yipping during the day too...so keep a watch on your smaller dog/s when outside- just in case. They should be fine, but I would recommend to leash smaller pups when outdoors, just to be safe! Although I never saw one close to the camp, I heard them quite a few times...which I enjoyed and thought was pretty cool. In areas like this, It's always important to be a watchful pet owner, remembering that it is their territory after all...but no fear or worries here, just awareness! Regardless, I felt safe and comfortable my entire trip and would highly recommend staying here to anyone...especially those who appreciate nature, friendly/easy going people, and a unique setting.
