Staying at Maggie's place for my birthday weekend was a perfect choice. Maggie is so thoughtful, so quick to respond if we needed anything, and her cottage is adorable. We absolutely loved having our dog with us, and being able to take her on hikes using the trails that start in the backyard! We also took everyone's advice and ordered Maggie's cooking for different meals all weekend long. It did NOT disappoint! It was also so peaceful and quiet at night. We loved the trip and hope to return again in the future. If you're looking for a peaceful hideaway in the Santa Monica mountains with a thoughtful and amazing host, this is your spot!
