The home was very clean, the kitchen was well stocked and we really liked the location. The guest book provided very clear instructions for checkout and how to use various items in the house. We really enjoyed our stay.
A very comfortable, rustic stay for our family of 5. Plenty of space for the family to gather, and a very functional kitchen. The website says 4 bedrooms, but there are 3.
I was in need of a rental home for 3 weeks. I could not have found a better home and host than right here. The communication was stellar throughout. The house has an incredible sense of remote rustic feel while being very close to Thousand Oaks, Oxnard, etc. I loved the ease of commute to LA where I was needed on business a few times. The back patio in mornings and evenings, the open air vibe with the sliding doors open in the cool CA air - all create an amazing atmosphere. I love to cook - the kitchen is fantastic, as is the grill out back. I highly recommend this home and would return and rent it again.
The living spaces were much larger than I expected. The best part was the adorable little patio with a big fire pit and a fabulous view. And it was so peaceful!! Would have been nice to have some sort of closet or at least a hanger in one of the small bedrooms. Terrific kitchen with everything we could ever want. We had guests over and had no problem with fitting 18.
We absolutely loved staying at this home! It was clean and cozy, perfect for coming back to after a long day on set. I'd definitely stay here again in the future.
Came to Cali from Michigan for our 1st borns wedding. We have a family of 6 and the space was ideal. Location to venue was perfect. Loved the layout of the home. We actually had the rehearsal dinner catered in at the house due to the layout and outdoor areas.
Such a relaxing stay—in between events for a wedding we attended. Great accommodations that perfectly fit our needs. And a visit from a family of quail made it even better!
This place was just perfect for us. We were in town for a wedding and there was more than enough room for us to relax and get ready. Just wish we had booked a few extra days to enjoy the house and the views!
We’ve booked many rental homes with our family and Modern Rustic Retreat was one of the very best we’ve experienced. The home had stunning vistas and multiple conversation areas. It had a well-appointed kitchen. We enjoyed the neighborhood, the nice neighbors, and lots of hiking trails in walking distance. We would highly recommend it.
We were in town for the weekend for a wedding and enjoyed our stay at this property so much! The view from the patio was fabulous! The house was clean and well stocked for convenience. Would absolutely recommend this property if considering to book.
We enjoyed our stay so much. It was amazing to be able to open up the big doors to the outside and feel like the house extended right into nature. Such a peaceful, special spot. We had all the amenities we needed to make our stay comfortable and fun. We can't wait to come back!
What a great house and environment. This house was very clean and super cool neighborhood. It felt like you were secluded in the mountains but in a safe neighborhood. Would definitely stay there again.
Our multigenerational family enjoyed our time together at this modern rustic retreat! Lots of room for puzzles, crafts, relaxing and spending time on the patio enjoying the unbelievable views! This is our third year and will continue to return!

My wife Hollie, two daughters Sydney and Maxine, Sandy (our yellow lab) horse name Ned and Roger our barn cat. We (only the humans) travel a lot between our houses in Portland Or. and Thousand Oaks, Ca. We are both entrepreneurs, Hollie a Communication consultant and I am architectural designer We homeschooled our children till there were 8 and 10 and considered it a privilege with to have them in our lives all the time. Now they both attend a local private school. We also co-founded and oversaw an outreach to the homeless and those in transition in the Santa Monica and Malibu area for the last 15 years (www.sosmalibu.org). As a family we love adventure and life. Snow skiing almost weekly during the winter between Mt. Hood, Or. and Snow Valley,Utah. Mountain biking in the Santa Monica mountains and Bend, Or. I am an avid marathon runner, trail runner, and hiker. We love food from all parts of the world and get to experience it often when we are in Portland visiting the famous food carts.
Why they chose this property
Though the neighborhood is an older subdivision of small homes and lots, our ONE ACRE property sits atop of a hill above a cul de sac with stunning views. There are no houses behind us that give total privacy for the outdoor shower. Every afternoon we get breezes from the coast that is only 8 miles away
What makes this property unique
Great entertaining space. The 12' wide bi-folding doors open up to the front patio with features a 12' long table for large gathers, fire pit, bbq. and hammock overlooking the Santa Monica mountains. Equipped with outdoors speakers that can be hook up your laptop or smartphone for music listening.
