We were traveling through the southern end of California and stayed here for three days of our trip. This was by far the best place that we stayed during our voyage. If you love mountains, nature, beautiful views and places with character, then this is perfect for you.

Each night we could hear owls, coyotes, and various other critters. In the mornings, we enjoyed organic eggs from Lynn's chickens and plucked grapefruit from the tree outside. We drank our coffee by the pool and watched all of the lizards scurry about. There are great hiking trails really close at Red Rock and it is a short drive to the beach. The space is so relaxing and tranquil, it is hard to believe you are still so close to the bustling city of Los Angeles.

Lynn was a great host, accommodating and friendly. While always being attentive and available, she still respected our privacy. She stocked the place great smelling soaps and shampoos. She really enjoys nature and her great surroundings and will have some great info about Topanga Canyon.

We spent time relaxing on the couch with the doors open to the amazing views of the mountains. We will definitely come back! I very much recommend Topanga Secret Cottage.
