Super Host Extraordinaire, Deb greeted me at her driveway and made me feel welcome from the first moment I arrived.

The immaculate and well appointed studio is nestled in the trees high up in the hills of Topanga, affording the visitor a totally authentic feel of life in this historically artistic and charming canyon. Deb's gluten-free cookies and plentiful Keurig hot beverage selection welcome one to settle right in.

I loved brewing the dark roast from the bountiful basket upon awakening and watching the sunrise from the cozy porch swing.
The L'Occitane shampoo, conditioner and body gel were another delightful addition to my Topanga Tree House morning routine.

The welcome book, filled with information and suggestions, was very helpful. The studio is small, but well laid out and exudes a casual yet sophisticated elegance. Another great balance was achieved by our Super Host; I felt pampered while having a real back to nature experience.

We discovered at reservation time that we are both Debs as well as avid BMW Z-3 enthusiasts and owners, among other things, so we looked forward to meeting. The meeting did not disappoint- Deb also remembered that I had mentioned it was my birthday when I made the reservation. I shared a delightful and memorable glass of wine with her at sunset.

As the host, Deb is able to create the perfect balance of making herself available yet allowing you to have all the privacy you desire as well. I encourage anyone interested in getting an authentic Topanga/Malibu experience to visit Deb's glorious Retreat.

A definite 5 star experience! Thank you Deb!
