A beautiful getaway! Everything we could have asked for. Its location between the mountains is exceptional. The cabin itself and its surroundings were very clean. I can't wait to go back for another weekend staycation.

This sweet little getaway for me and my husband was nothing short of magical! The view… the privacy… and the beautiful salt water pool made our stay a little slice of heaven. Thank you Nicholas and Mara for sharing your lovely place. We are still floating from our stay at your lovely Hilltop Cabin!!

Amazing place to stay! The view was incredible. It was a great couples' weekend for us. We enjoyed the fire pit by the pool at night.The cabin does not have AC, so if you are there when the weather is hot, close the curtains during the day so you come back to a cooler cabin.

The tiny cabin was a perfect getaway for my husband and I celebrating 25 years of marriage. The cabin was nice and tidy and comfy. The host were really nice. The pool is great way to cool off, but the grounds and the view were amazing. Hopefully we can go back soon.

The cabin is great for a nice, quiet getaway. It is a walk to get to the cabin and there is no air conditioning. As long as you have that in mind, you will love your time there.

This cabin on the hillside is a gem. We could not take our eyes off the beautiful view! We spent our time in the pool, which we had all to ourselves! (there is another rental on the property, but we didn't see the occupants). The outdoor shower is fantastic, and the bathroom has a regular flushing toilet. The hosts were very gracious. We had a wonderful time. In the evening you can hear the birds cooing and coyotes howling. There are bunnies and lizards running around the property which was fun to watch as we drank our coffee on the balcony. I will book this one again. Thank you, Nicholas, for sharing this amazing little cabin with us.

The property is truly a special one! The cabin is cozy, clean, and full of artistic charm! It is immersed in and surrounded by pristine nature. We felt very welcomed by the hosts, Mara and Nicholas, and all communication was friendly and timely. We had a wonderfully relaxing and beautiful stay. If you plan your visit, be prepared to wear good shoes, as the path leading to the cabin is fairly steep - but absolutely worth it for the breathtaking views!

This was a great way to start our trip to CA! The hillside garden was wonderful, and a highlight of our stay was sitting out on the deck birdwatching in the morning. Nick was great, and very welcoming.
