Sara was an amazing hostess for two of the great Topanga properties that I stayed in this week. I upgraded mid stay to accommodate my visiting teens. They found the mountain setting extremely “cool”. My husband, who is an overworked orthopedic surgeon- he appreciated the Zen atmosphere, he even meditated! His big bone of contention is cleanliness- he won’t even unpack. Sara’s units are spotless. They pass the surgeon test!
The kitchen was so well appointed, I always travel with my own cooking oils and spices and a chef’s knife. Here- Sara has almost everything that you need if you were going to be in residence for several weeks!
Both units that I experienced were plenty spacious- separate areas to read in, and the bathroom in the smaller unit was plush and had all the organic amenities- I never even unpacked my toiletries!
When I upgraded to the larger unit- which easily made the 4 of us feel like we had so much privacy to move about and be “alone” with our thoughts- it was a bargain for just maybe $40 more? I’m definitely coming back in July for at least a week!
I forgot to mention the calm and serenity of the canyon. I did not hear any canyon traffic noise, what I DID hear was the welcomed symphony of birds all day, and a gorgeous hoot owl after 10:00 PM. I loved it! Total mountain escape. Five minutes from PCH!
PS: Did you know that you can rent the entire compound of the three homes for a reasonable price in the summer? Food for thought! I want to do a Girl’s Retreat and bring in a Chef, Masseuse and an Esthetician!
Thanks Sara for such an Amazing stay!
You certainly deserve your Super Host Status!
