Where to begin?! Stephen is a wonderful host! He made us coffee, had fresh fruit and snacks for the kids, had great tips and ideas for things to enjoy in the area and is a very nice person. He even sent little plants home for our kids to plant.
The garden cottage is rustic and very charming! If you are not a nature lover, or afraid of the occasional spider, this may not be the place for you. But if the pictures make it seem like the perfect garden get away, it is! It is separate from the main house. It has a small kitchen. Linens, towels, and basic kitchen needs like cooking oil, plates, and silverware are provided. We asked and we're given the OK to bring travel beds for our little kiddos, so more than two guests were allowed. It is very quiet and secluded, but a short drive to everything you could need. The scenery is breathtaking! The city (Topanga) is very enchanting, and had a wonderful barn dance and festival at the outdoor theater while we were there. Our family had a wonderful stay and would definitely come back. Thanks Stephen!
