The wife discovered this place, which I frankly would never have thought of or discovered. So glad that she did. Bibi was an amazing hostess. She was quick to remind us that this isn't a hotel, and encouraged us to think of her as our "Auntie Bibi from Malibu." That means: be respectful of her property, certain facilities (ie the jacuzzi) are off-limits, and clean up after yourself. No problem, why wouldn't we? We stayed in the Yurt. What's a Yurt? The best way to think of it is a permanent tent, or just to google it to get a better visual. This isn't camping. It's not even glamping. It has a built-in kitchen, hardwood floors, a loft-bed, a tv, and bathroom with toilet and showers. Oh, and most importantly, a heater! I loved it. And we ordered an optional home-cooked dinner which was made mostly with ingredients from Bibi's certified-organic orchard. We had the shepherd's pie, which was incredible. If you're looking for a hip hotel, a party spot, or even someplace "close to the action," this is NOT the place for you. It's an incredible place to go for a quiet retreat. To meditate. To get back to nature. To go hiking. To lounge and read. Or simply to enjoy Malibu from the perspective of a local. There are two other options: a Zen Room, which appeared to be the lower floor of Bibi and Bruce's house, and they are building a Safari-like tent with a queen-sized bed inside. If you're looking for an opportunity to recharge your batteries...this is the place to do it. read more

Staying in a Yurt was on my bucket list, and I couldn't have found a more perfect Yurt than this wonderful AirBnB on an organic farm nestled in the canyons of Malibu just two miles from the most romantic beaches. Take a look at the photos on their AirBnB listing to see the exquisite style - the owner is an award-winning author of eco-retreat decor books. Check out their ZEN reTREAT, too for another equally chic look. Tranquil and romantic, this is a dreamlike escape into sustainable living - surrounded by an organic Meyer Lemon orchard and organic grow-beds, we also were treated to the most amazing home-cooked meals - the first-time I ever ate a meal that was absolutely all organic. And, it won't be the last because I know I'll be back again! Tip: The Malibu Yurt has a kitchen and plenty of room for 4 or even 6 friends. The ZEN reTREAT is smaller with no kitchen, but it has an ocean-view in the distance, and is also very romantic. read more

Tried several times to make a reservation here. Multiple vrbo inquiries expired without response. Host was not very responsive and ultimately quite curt by phone. Contrary to listing, host said no children at all are permitted at any time and then hung up. read more
