We had a fantastic time staying in the cottage out back. The space was exactly what we wanted--comfortable bed, fun decor, all the kitchen stuff you would need, fireplace (!), and jacuzzi! We took full advantage of all of the hiking trails in the area--Red Rock Canyon State Park is within walking distance of the house--but also found the house to be a great base from which to explore greater L.A. We loved leaving the city every evening, though, to come 'home' to our cottage. Checking in was also very easy, and a lot of traveler's needs (coffee, soap, shampoo, toothbrush) were provided for. Would definitely, definitely stay here again. Thanks for making such a beautiful place for us to retreat to!
