Really enjoyed my stay here, perfect way to be out in nature but with all the amenities of a shower, kitchen, and warm bed. Good way to get away from the city life and connect with yourself and enjoy the benefits nature has to offer. However it’s also right in the middle of everything so it’s perfect, downtown la and Malibu are bout 30 minutes away and Santa Monica like 15 mins, Hollywood and Beverly Hills are also about 20 minutes away. The drive up and down is also perfect since it’s through the canyons, if you keep going up you get a amazing view of LA,beach, and mountains. when you go down you hit PCH and get the most beautiful car view of the beach. The drive down seems like it’s from a movie. House was also very clean although if it’s raining be prepared for it to be a little muddy as expected. Hot water didn’t work at first but with a quick phone call it got fixed right away. Local farmers market on Friday mornings has a lot of organic food you can cook In the beautiful outdoor kitchen. There are also other houses not far away so it’s a good way to go off grid without going all out. I went during winter and was surprised at how warm the place stayed with just 1 plug in heater. If you’re looking to stay at a place out in nature that’s not too in the middle of nowhere, or the person you’re going with isn’t too into the whole camping thing then this place is probably what you want to get. Also you don’t need a 4 wheel drive suv only a small strip is off-road on a dirt path. Although if you go when it’s raining might be better to stick with a truck or suv.
