A truly magical spot to disconnect and be present in nature. The space felt open, but private; earthy, but clean. My dog also adored the space and felt at home right away.
I wouldn't have noticed the hosts were there had I not been the ones calling them. Very attentive when needed, but respectful of privacy when not.
Although, I only stayed 3-nights I tried to live up the local life as much as possible, grabbing brekfast at the Water Lily cafe every morning to ground the routine. I very much enjoyed the proximity to all the hiking locations, with Topanga state park trails only a 15 minute. Note, however, dogs not allowed on trails there so I had to drive a bit further to La Tuna. Note 2, the Red Rocks Trail is closer and th only reason I didn't go was because it's an old favorite and was looking to do something new!
100% would go back and do again. Note 3, my stay was early October so the temeprature shift was quite drastic in the canyon so make sure to prepare for all weather, especially since the beach is nearby, you never know what direction adventure will call.
