A small charming home in an area that brings a stillness thats hard to find in the rest of the city. The landscape offers an amazing return to nature. Neighbors were pleasant and very helpful.

This was a terrific place to stay with its beauty, serenity and peacefulness. The views are spectacular and the amenities are awesome - with the comforts of home. It was minutes away from good walking spots for my dog and myself and a short drive to Santa Monica and to Malibu. I had an awesome time and feel very refreshed from my weekend stay.

Killer road

The property is an old mobile home with an addition. Cute yard. However the driveway is so steep we couldn't see it over the hood of the car, plus very narrow dirt and rocks. Claims pet friendly but not on beds or furniture also no potty in the yard..nope not again.

Topanga visit

The location was great. The beds/accommodations and hot water were all decent. There are a lot of things that I was disappointed about, from the unkept outside with broken furniture and broken lights to the dirty cupboards and doors inside. Some electrical outlets didn't work, tv remote didn't work, sink faucet was loose, the kitchen cupboard under the sink wouldn't close and looking under there was not pleasant, the frying pans weren't clean from a previous guest, the grill was worn out with holes in the gas jets....I took photos, but there is no way to upload. We did a lot of picking up outside and raked the yard of debris to make it habitable and more like a vacation space we were paying for, but the broken lights were still distracting, just dangling there. I did not contact the host about these issues as there was nothing they could fix immediately except maybe the tv remote. All other issues are lack of upkeep and maintenance.

Topanga

It felt like camping which we were fine with. We spent most of our time hiking and visiting family. We do not recommend taking Tuna Canyon Road as Google Map sent us on. We only made that mistake once.

Great owner

House was perfect! Lisa answered all my questions with lightening speed. I am technically challenged so she even came over to help me figure it out. Loved the fresh chicken eggs. House had everything we needed. Had enough room for other family members who weren’t as lucky as us to come over and hang out, grab something to eat before the wedding and after. Great location!!! Quiet and comfortable and a nice sitting area outside. Loved it.

Wonderful Hideaway in LA

Overall we really enjoyed spending a night in in the canyon and only wish that we had more time to explore the nearby state park. It was great having a kitchen to make use of and a front patio to enjoy. Other renters should be advised the driveway might scrape a low-clearance car, and that while there is a store in town the offerings are pretty minimal. Neither of these had a negative impact on our stay but figured I would note them since they might be useful.

Wonderful cabin in small community

The adorable cabin was tucked away in the mountain woods in a small community of 5 or 6 cabins with spectacular views and a lovely quiet seclusion. The furniture was very nice and both beds were wonderfully comfortable. Plenty of pillows and warm blankets were provided. We had dinner from a lovely local restaurant on the driftwood table in the front area while watching the sun set over the mountains. We even got to play a little hide and seek in the woods and fields around the driveway and cabin itself. Would definitely stay there again!
