The cottage is awesome and Lynn/Mike are great, hands-off hosts.
Here the are pros:
-It is definitely off the beaten path, but still only 30mins to Santa Monica (no traffic)
-Super quiet and clean
-Access to local hiking trails
-There are two wonderful dogs on the premises that will accompany you on a hike or run, if you wish.
-Pool and hot-tub
-Lynn left me some local honey and chicken eggs - like from their property LOCAL

Cons:
-I couldn't stay longer

Other reviewers have complained about the quality of the road, but my Nissan Sentra rental was fine. And the worst part is only for the last 3/4 of a mile. Drive slow and you'll be fine!

I'll definitely be back.
