I have spent 14 days at Carin’s Romantic Mountain Hideaway near the Topanda Canyon. I was taking a professional development in LA, leaving at 7am and coming back at 7 or 8pm. I was tired by the end of the day and appreciated her comfortable big house. Carin also had respect for my need of being quiet coming back “home”. What I appreciated the most was Carin’s large smile and heartfelt hospitality. I felt at home far from home (in comparison to a hotel room setting with limited space, the air conditioning that makes noise all night… those who travel know what I am talking about!). At Carin’s place I was able to cook, do my laundry, go for a swim and relax in the sauna….she even had an office with a desk away from my room where I was able to do some needed business for my office back home. I got to go to the ocean on the week-ends: 25 minutes from her place through the beautiful and famous Topanga Canyon. I strongly recommend Carin’s place: her fee is very affordable considering all what she is offering. Suzanne Day, Neuropsychologist from Canada
