I can't rave enough about Darrell and his place. I booked a weekend get away for Valentine's day and it's one of our favorite places to go now. Darrell is extremely helpful in showing his accomodationd and provided everything from cookware, every toiletry thinkable (q-tips included), maps, books, etc. The handmocks, day beds and swings were really fun and comfortable to hang around in. He has really amazing props from movies everywhere and they really add to the great atmosphere. You can tell he put a lot of work in the place and is very proud of it.
You can even hear frogs at night but not so loudly that you can't get an excellent night sleep. We had plans to go hiking around Topanga but the place was so nice, we just stayed in instead. If you have the opportunity, definitely book this place.
