"Deb's Nest" was everything stated in the reviews, and more. We were looking for a rural and homey location outside of the LA basin to spend five days as a family (4 of us), before dropping our son off at UCLA (45 minutes away) for his first year of college. From the start of our arrangements, throughout our stay, Deborah, and her son Tony, made sure we were comfortable. The cottage is very thoughtfully decorated (loved all the Frieda Kahlo pictures and interesting knick-knacks), comfortable beds, and we couldn't find one thing missing in the kitchen....not sure how it all got in there! The Webber kettle charcoal grill served us well for three meals, as the warm nights beckoned us to grill. Deborah, upon hearing our interest in grilling, mail ordered us a jar of authentic K.C. bar-b-q sauce to slather on our meat......mmm! The table outside with night lighting hung from a mature oak tree overhead, and candles made for a beautiful place to dine. Loved the large curb-less shower with window, and lavender shampoo. You can actually see the stars at night, and the only sounds are of crickets and an occasional farm animal....none of that freeway drone that we live with in the city. Our favorite place to visit while there was a small beach north of Malibu, and our teenage sons found the boogie boards provided at the cottage as a nice bonus. The location is 15 minutes away from grocery stores, so arriving with an ice chest of food to pack into the refrigerator was a good idea. There's no TV (Yeah!), but the wifi kept us engaged with the outside world. Very glad we found this great place to return, when visiting our son. expectations were majorly exceeded, and we will be back. Thank-you!
