This host, a professional interior designer, creates a kind of magic. The living room is an outdoor cabana with a working fireplace--logs and matches provided--a chandelier, and a comfortable and pretty sofa. Subtract 10% from those magazine photos (they use lighting and Photoshop) and you'll fall in love with this room. Darren lit the chandelier at night so I came home to glittering light.
The guest house itself is small, but it works because it's on two levels, it has everything, and the details are enchanting.
Downtairs is a large bathroom, and a complete if older kitchen with stove and full-size fridge. Darren stocked coffee and left me white wine, beautifully wrapped. A petite desk is brilliantly tucked in under the stairs. Upstairs is the bedroom, where I wanted to steal the glamorous, low-slung white bureaus. Note the pitched ceiling; I'm 5'6" and had no problem, but a much taller guest would stoop in places. Bed and pillows were quite comfortable.
Easy street parking right in front. Lovely host, perfect communication.
