I absolutely loved staying in the black carriage. I typically am not into outdoorsy things but this was great exposure and a great way to get away from the madness of the city. The craftsman ship is absolutely beautiful and the bed was the most comfortable bed our entire trip! It is a little tricky to navigate when driving there but plenty of parking and personally I think this is the best place to really relax. We were on short time constraints due to our multi city trip so we felt that we could not truly enjoy it as much as we wanted to since we drove down to Santa Monica for the night (about 30 minutes). I wish we could have stayed multiple nights so that we could enjoy the community kitchen and grounds more. The bathtub is amazing as well as cozy atmosphere. Loved my morning coffee on the mini porch (yay for the Nespresso machine!) 100% would recommend
