Marion Davies Room
Superb antique furnishings with a king size bed, romantic view balcony and an imposing fireplace distinguish this room. The elaborately carved bed and the legend of Marion Davies inspire dreams. The bathroom is a fantasy of two-person claw foot tub, pedestal sink, silver chandelier, chaise lounge, separate marble floored shower, pillowed stone floor and garden view.

The Library Room
Ensconced in mahogany with a dark cherry hand-carved fireplace and coffered ceiling, this room held Clark Gable and Carole Lombard during part of their fabled honeymoon. Private entrances open under the frescoed ceiling of the verandah onto a private garden patio. King sized bed, antique pedestal sink, sophisticated bathtub and separate shower delight the sensibilities.

Einstein's Garden Room
Albert Einstein slept here many times.

The bathroom has a claw foot slipper tub and a separate shower, with travertine stone floor, and a pewter chandelier.

The Rock Room
The inviting downpour of an overhead shower splashes onto a boulder that protrudes into the bathroom, which also features a separate two-person bathtub, and pedestal sink. Slate floors course through the bathroom, sitting room and bedroom. French doors open onto a private balcony above the swimming pool with a superb view of the mountains.

The Waterfall Room
The sweeping private staircase to this room is illuminated by a crystal chandelier. Above, the vaulted ceiling frames a magnificent view of the waterfall and the mountains beyond. The warm blonde of the antique birdseye maple dressers and queen size sleigh bed compliment the exquisite hand-made tiles of the bathroom and tumbled marble floor. Fireplace.

The Loft
Gorgeous mountain and waterfall vistas grace this sequestered room. The two-person claw foot bathtub is surrounded by French limestone wainscoting and floors. The charm of the vaulted ceiling, Italian burled walnut antique furnishings and a fireplace is enhanced by cascading water outside the windows.

The Palm Room
A pleasing poolside private entrance to this room starts the enchantment. Colorful slate floors adorn both the sitting room and the bedroom. A generous two-person claw foot tub in the bedroom allows for intimate candlelit baths; there is a separate shower for after a swim. A lovely brass headboard crowns the queen size bed.

The Acanthus Room
Graciously appointed with a queen size iron sleigh bed and tiger-maple armoire, this room boasts a high ceiling punctuated by a 1925 alabaster acanthus leaf chandelier and a private entrance sequestered from the main house. The Maple hardwood floor in this cozy bedroom was recycled from a 1910 church in Los Angeles. The bathroom features handmade tiles and a tumbled stone floor.
