This place was decent, but was not quite what I had expected based on the description. Here is how I would describe it based on my experience. ***|*|*|*|*** The way the house is set up gives it a "hostel" feel. The living room is just inside the main entrance and is casually curtained off, with some long-term guests staying there. All the spaces (other than the bedroom itself) are shared, including the bathroom. The bathroom was quite clean, however the rest of the house was a bit dusty, and the patio/backyard looked like it hadn't been used for quite a while. The house is literally right across the street from Eaton Canyon trails, and sitting in the yard/patio the sound of peacocks intermingles with the sound of the traffic. Everyone I interacted with was very nice. ***|*|*|*|*** Although there are some touches of luxury here and there (rain-type shower, for example), I think "rustic" would be a more appropriate adjective than "luxurious". The floor and ceiling are wood, as are some walls, which makes for a pleasant and cozy atmosphere. The bed was comfortable, however the heater made it very difficult for me to sleep. It was much too hot for my taste, and the windows do not have screens, so as soon as I opened them the room was inhabited by around 10 crane flies (those bugs that look like giant mosquitoes but aren't. They're totally harmless, but still...) and one actual giant mosquito who was crafty enough to get up on the ceiling where I couldn't reach him. There is a very pretty clock on the bedroom wall that ticks and tocks, and the heater is kind of loud (to be fair, I might have just been overly sensitive because I was annoyed it kept going on). Other than that, the house is very well sound-proofed and all the outside noise disappears as soon as you close the door behind you. ***|*|*|*|*** I think staying here can be a great experience for people who are laid back travelers, backpacking or road-tripping along on their journey. I would not recommend it for someone looking for a private, luxurious space tucked away in nature.
