Some places stay in your mind well after you visit. This gem was an unworldly paradise with a beautiful veiw of the Topanga mountains, several places to relax in the giantic private yard, a botanical wonderland, playful and creative art at every turn, magically lit at night, private tiki hut fully equipped, comfortable bed, short drive to the beach. After our visit I feel rested and inspired. Darrell was a great host and after visiting his Hidden Treasures vintage store at bottom of the hill, together the experience was a fanciful feast for the senses.
