We squeezed two adults and two toddlers in the house (all in one bed!) and had a fun, romantic family weekend away from the city. As the description says, it's rustic... but we found it to be perfect and incredibly charming. It has all the amenities you need and everything works great, though everything has it's quirks. It wasn't furnished exactly as the pictures, particularly in the sleeping lofts, but it worked fine for us (one queen sized futon).

Some advice. It's part of a small bohemian community which we found to be very friendly, but note that it's not entirely private. The road is rugged and dirt. It's on a north-facing slope and in a canyon so it's slightly chillier than the weather forecast. Bring warm clothes (slippers!) and your own soap and shampoo.

Topanga is small and raw, but there's tons to explore and some great hiking. Close to LA and Malibu. A perfect weekend get-away.

Thanks Leah and David! We'll be back...
