We were already excited to be heading to Riders Nest for a weekend getaway and to be near the horses, but Colin, Mara, their crew and all the animals blew us away with their kindness, thoughtfulness and down-right genuine authentic selves. Not only is the place super unique and full of good soul, but it's walking distance to Malibu cafe, tucked in the hills of Malibu close to amazing hikes. The cozy room was stocked with essentials to make basic breakfast and one of our favorites was waking up and saying good night to Chorro the horse. There's a wonderful little patio for morning sun-kissed breakfasts and evening charming sunsets with lots of flowers abloom in the gardens. Colin has amazing stories to share, but will also respect your privacy. Highly recommend for anyone looking to unplug and reconnect with nature, good people and animals. Thank you!
