Guests describe the home as cozy, spotless, and thoughtfully detailed, with many wishing they'd booked longer
Our 3BR/2BA cottage on the top of a hill, you come on foot, climbing the stone stairs or take the winding ramp through the garden. Surrounded by parks and wildlife, you will enjoy the sunlit vistas during the day, the stars during the night. A pool on one side of the cottage and you feel that you are in Ibiza. On the other side, a patio with a European antique fountain and you feel like you are in Provence. Eclectic and rustic, elegant and simple.

The space
Built in 1926, our cottage is one of the first wooden cabins erected in Malibou lake, a charming gateway established for Hollywood celebrities in the 1920s. The interior reflects our artistic and European sensibilities. Outfitted state of the art furniture, an antique fountain and other creative details, the space offers expansive views of the Santa Monica mountains in a private setting designed for relaxation and retreat.

Guest access
Guest will have abundant parking space in the front yard below the house. (They can fit up to 2 cars). There is a set of stone steps going up to the house (The Blue Cabin on top of the hill) The Airstream parked on the corner of parking area in addition to the deck and sauna area in front of it is NOT part of this listing and guests are NOT permitted into that area. Review the check-in diagram for more info.

Other things to note
Constructed in the 1930s, our cottage exudes the period's charm and adheres to its original regulations. Therefore, we welcome children aged 7 and older, provided they are closely supervised. Please note that the property isn't fully enclosed and is home to local wildlife.
As one of the original Malibou Lake hunting cabins, the home has a charming wooden structure. You may occasionally hear natural creaking sounds as the wood contracts after a hot day, which is completely normal for a historic wooden home.

The hosts, Ardie and Leo (7-year old Golden Retriever),reside in a quaint, separate cottage located on the adjacent lot. We respect our guests’ privacy, but can make ourselves available if needed.
