Chantal is the quintessential warm and welcoming host, and the Rancho Guest Cottage fully reflects her warm, welcoming personality! The cottage is perfect in every way, full of not only artistic touches that exemplify Chantal's European roots, but well laid out for both comfort and enjoyment of the environs. The incredibly beautiful pool and barbecue area is a true retreat from the busy city atmosphere that surrounds it. The soft sound of water flowing, from both the hot tub in the pool and the lovely koi pond literally soothe you to sleep! The neighborhood is safe and comfortable for walking, with beautiful trees and a park down the street. The cottage was well equipped and supplied with everything one would need, from clean towels, soap, linens, kitchen supplies, and even a coffee grinder when I needed one! My husband and I spent a delightful two weeks with Chantal at the cottage to spend time with our son, daughter-in-law and newly born grandson, who live in nearby Studio City. We have already made plans with Chantal to stay for five days next month for another visit!
