Bruce and Mary are great hosts. Every aspect of the trip exceeded our expectations. The accommodations were comfortable, convenient, and luxurious. The pictures can't communicate the canyon's peace and serenity. Bruce and Mary were generous with tips about local food and entertainment. We borrowed beach gear from them saving us much time and effort. What a gorgeous canyon retreat, yet not far from shopping, beautiful beaches, fishing, fine dining, wildlife, museums, and if you are so inclined the rest of LA. But what makes this retreat the best, were the kindness, knowledge, and generosity offered by Bruce and Mary.
