Very private with gorgeous canyon views and absolutely no traffic noise! The space We call our guesthouse the "Secret Cottage" because you almost can't believe you can find this much tranquility in Los Angeles County. A simple, rustic kind of elegance prevails in this unique hideaway, accessible by a narrow, bumpy road the likes of which are rarely seen in the first world. Only a mile and a half from the main road, you'll feel like you've gone back in time as you pass horses, goats and sheep along the way. The house has 1 large, well appointed BR with a new mattress and bamboo floors. Comfortable bath with antique vanity connects to both bedroom and living room. Spacious living room has a comfortable sofa bed, and an inflatable mattress is also available. Three sets of French doors open to a lovely deck. A full "foodie" kitchen comes with everything you'll need to cook gourmet meals, usually including honey, eggs and citrus from our ranch when available! Kitchen doors open to a stone patio with a Moroccan tile table. There's a large unheated pool shared with the main house, and breathtaking views in every direction. Roadrunners, coyotes, hawks and hummingbirds share this paradise, and you can eat meals outside most of the year. From the patio, you can even see a distant glimpse of ocean on a (very) clear day. Great for lovers, writers, naturalists, healers, mountain bikers, adventurers, photographers and anyone who loves LA best from a slight distance! Guest access The cottage is all yours! The entire property is 12 acres and you are welcome to wander around. Large pool and hot tub are shared with main house only. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach loungers - Beach towels ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub - Outdoor pool ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Electric car charging station on site - Wheelchair-accessible parking and van parking available ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Toaster - Water dispenser ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Entertainment - Books - TV ### Outdoor areas - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - Accessible parking space - No lift (single-level property) - Wheelchair-accessible parking - Wheelchair-accessible van parking - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Housekeeping on request - Iron/ironing board ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher ### General - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - Bulk dispensers for toiletries - Composting - Comprehensive food waste policy - Comprehensive recycling policy - Double-glazed windows - Eco-friendly cleaning products used - Eco-friendly toiletries - Electric car charging station - Garden - Grey water recycling system - Housekeeping (on request) - Reusable coffee/tea filters - Solar energy - Water dispenser usage encouraged - Water-efficient showers - Water-efficient toilets ## Similar properties ![House (4 Bedrooms) | Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/113000000/112960000/112954100/112954003/b5b5d942.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 2 Mi to Promenade at Westlake: Mtn-view Haven!

The house is beautiful and comfortable and the views are breathtaking. The whole place is magical. Lynn was incredibly responsive and friendly. You’re in her guest house so she’s right there if you need anything but you still have tons of privacy. Perfect for a solo traveler or a romantic getaway.Note that the road to the house is no joke! It’s well maintained but narrow, steep, winding, although a regular car can handle it. Just go slow and arrive in daylight if you can - I’d say it’s about 10 minutes off the main road. But you don’t get this kind of Garden of Eden paradise if it’s too easy to get there! Also bring provisions - while there are relatively nearby shops (15 min), once you arrive you will not want to leave. The kitchen was well stocked w cookware, oils, spices, but you will want to arrive with groceries.So tempted to keep this secret cottage for myself but I’ve already told everyone I know about it. :) ![Sunrise.](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0c32462e-5eaa-47a1-bfa7-450536b3427d-1771121524065.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Breakfast patio.](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/00d7a429-4240-4687-a56a-d24dbd533d37-1771121526809.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![The cottage from the pool (hot tub not visible).](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3b8107d8-af5c-460e-9136-8a47da3b889c-1771121526795.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/88478e66-4593-40a9-b5dc-44a59d4a4fdf-1771121528640.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### karen c.
