If you are looking for an escape from everyday life and need to unplug and unwind, this is the place to come. In all honesty, on first arrival it can be a bit off putting, everyone seems to have the same "where am I?" reaction when they pull up, it reminded us of an artist compound Tim burton may have designed. However, within a few hours we were so at ease, our pup enjoying exploring the grounds, we fell in love with the place. We would probably choose one of the less eclectic suites next time, but that's just our taste. It's definitely a rustic feel, but it's exactly what's needed sometimes, plus Malibu is just 15 minutes away!
Our room was a bit dusty on check-in, but the other rooms we saw looked pretty clean, so I think it was an oversite not the norm. There will definitely be a next time!
