BED: The mattress was beautifully firm, the linens deliciously silky I hated to get up in the morning.
DESK: Wonderful piece of furniture and combined with the fast wi-fi, I also hated to leave this desk!
BREAKFAST: How many hosts have insisted that you try their fresh madeleines? Their fancy granola? Their fruit, their figs, and the list goes on?
TIPS: Phyllis knows I'm horse crazy and suggested a stable within walking distance that took me for a gorgeous 8am ride up in the hills and past Forest Lawn. (If you're intermediate, ask for the horse called "Split"). Afterwards, have freshly roasted coffee (or the matcha latte with soymilk) and the eggs benedict with basil avocado sauce on quinoa at BaseCamp. Randy, her husband recommended local walks and Tallyrand (just 7 min by car) for their turkey dinners. Basically the two of them can't do enough for you.
