This is our second time staying at the modern rustic retreat. Both times we enjoyed our stay very much. The home is always very clean, the kitchen is well stocked and we enjoy the views from the back patio.
We loved this house! The setting is so special with a beautiful view of the mountains and a nice sitting area outside with fire pit. The rooms were comfortable and the kitchen was very well stocked. We would definitely recommend and stay again!
We had a wonderful week’s stay here. Clean and comfortable home in a quiet neighborhood. Beds and pillows were super comfortable. We loved opening up the giant doors to and spending time on the back patio where the owner has pretty gardens and the view is fantastic. Great access to scenic road cycling which is what we traveled here to do. Thank you Daniel for sharing your home with us.
Well stocked and comfortable for our family. The interior could use a like refresh but the terrace made up for it. Great place for hosting larger familes with the garage room conversion.
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.
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!

Great get away! Very quiet and peaceful. Everything we needed, from kitchenware to towels and linens, felt like a home away from home. Enjoyed cooking and bbqing for the family, and loved the option of outdoor or indoor seating for all 7 of us! The property was perfect with lots of different outdoor spaces to enjoy. Truly a retreat!
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!
Our dog and I met my adult chikdren and stayed 3 nights; clean , comfortable, wonderful home and yard areas - appreciate the details and comfort the home provided us
Great spot to stay in Thousand Oaks. The back yard is beautiful & comfortable. Was perfect for our family & dogs. Beautiful views and a lovely sunny family room. Nice SoCal indoor outdoor living.
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!
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!
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.
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!
This is the 2nd year we’ve stayed here and we loved it every bit as we did last year! It has everything you would ever need and great for young kids. My 3 year old grandson spent many hours playing in the back area which had a sandy area to play with the toys that are there for them! The back patio is an oasis of foliage and flowers and a magnificent view. Looking forward to coming again next year!!
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.
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.
The place overall was amazing, we would recommend adding a kettle to the kitchen. The bathtub jets were not working in the main bathroom. But wow, overall just an incredible space! Thank you so much
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.
