This is a true gem of a retreat! The space and area are just as Denis describes, but words can't quite convey the beauty and serenity. We slept soundly and had every amenity we needed. I loved hearing the owls and birdwatching from the gorgeous deck. The canyon is spectacular and easy to navigate, though expect to drive with care for two or three minutes once you turn off Hwy. 27 to wind your way up to the house -- the road is narrow. Topanga Beach is right at the bottom of the canyon and Malibu is an easy drive up the PCH -- so beautiful! Wished we could've stayed longer!
