This was one of our favorite stays of all time because of the hospitality of Kat and Logan, and the amazing environment their place provides. This stay is an attached guest addition with its own entrances, but you would never feel like it was based on how it was done and laid out.
Kat and Logan are top notch hosts and are very quick to respond to any requests or questions during your stay. They must be contacted in order to turn on/off the hot tub, but they never seem to mind and were always on the ball for these types of requests. They provide you with a remote for the gate to enter/exit the property (you park in their driveway behind the gate), as well as a key to the guest home.
The living space is well done, decorated in a way that makes you feel right at home. Not an empty space lack of character, and not overly done to the point you feel like you cant touch anything. Its a well thought out space that is cozy and great for small families. Downstairs is the kitchen, bathroom, and a living area. And upstairs is the main living area (that includes a 2nd bed) along with a master bedroom, master bath (detached from the master bedroom), and walk in closet. This is where we spent most of our time if we were not in the pool or cooking. The bottom floor has hard flooring while the stairs and 2nd floor have carpet.
The backyard is what really makes this place special. It gives you the feeling of ultimate privacy, seclusion, and serenity blocking out the big city that is only a few blocks away. You truly feel like you are somewhere far away from city life (except for the planes flying to/from Van Nuys airport overhead), surrounded by lots of trees and landscaping in the back yard. The pool and spa are amazing as well. The pool appears to be a 5 foot deep pool so it warms up quickly in the sun and the hot tub is so relaxing, you could soak in there for hours enjoying the views and hot jets. This hot tub heats up in minutes (10-15 at most) so there is no waiting around for things to be ready to get in.
We will certainly be coming back in the future as the weather warms up and will always keep this stay as one of our favorites!
