Perfection

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.

Absolutely Awesome!

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.

Great stay!

I can honestly say this is probably the best VRBO we have ever stayed in and we have stayed in many! It was clean, comfortable and so well stocked! You didn’t want for anything! It has a great backyard and a huge sandpit for kids to play, also well stocked with toys. My grandson loved it there! We will definitely book again!

Great view!

Amazing place. The pics are a little outdated, there is no grass anymore (for dog owners, so we took our dog to the local park to play) and there is an amazing glass wall view of the mountainside, which is way better than the photos represent. Feels like indoor/outdoor living. Good large kitchen. The chairs outside are comfy. Inside there is lots of seating but it’s all stuff you wouldn’t want to sit on for long. Space can support a good amount of people. Overall a terrific home and place to relax.

Family gathering

We stayed three days to visit family in the area. We all loved the house and outdoor spaces. Plenty of room for 5 of us. Enjoyed eating meals outside on patio with incredible views. Kitchen well stocked. Only issue for us was the beds were not very comfortable. Overall, visit was very enjoyable.

About the host

Hosted by Daniel Packman

Host profile image
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.
