Best of both worlds: fairly close to LA (took me about 35 min to get to the Getty Center on a busy Sunday) but in a beautiful, peaceful area that I never would have found on my own. Kevin was a great host, and the barn is stylish, comfortable, and well stocked. (I did not have trouble cooking full meals without a full-size oven; the hot plate, griddle, and convection oven did the trick.) The collection of animals around the property is a delight, too: two dogs and a horse supervised my check-in. I would definitely stay here again and take some more time to explore the nearby hills and canyons.
