The area and guest house were absolutely beautiful, but for us there were enough detractors from the experience that we’d probably choose a different stay for the next time we visit the area.
While the property and guest house are beautiful, it’s quite bare bones. Not much has been done to create a considerate experience for guests. The windows in the bedroom and bathroom don’t have any coverings for privacy, and the host declined to provide any. The guest house is actually only 5 ft away from the host’s house, so the stay wasn’t as private or serene as the listing made it seem.
We went into the stay looking forward to the winding drive up and down the mountain, but ended up finding it fatiguing. 20-30 min of slow, precarious driving after 45 min of LA traffic was tiring after a few days.
The views were magical, and the architecture of the guest house was a joy to stay in. Still, next time we visit the area we’ll probably choose an AirBnB closer to the main road and just enjoy the view by driving up to the Tuna Canyon hike.
