My wife and I spent our anniversary weekend here and it was wonderful. The location is secluded in the hills of Topanga and there is plenty of privacy. We enjoyed wine and cheese on the deck while taking in the gorgeous canyon views and watching the sunset. We also had an evening soak in the hot tub which was very relaxing. The nights were very dark and quiet. All that could be heard was the leaves rustling in the wind. It was very soothing and peaceful.

The interior of the casita itself was a bit cramped. The bathroom had no separation between the shower and the toilet, which was a little odd. The bedroom had only enough space for the bed and some small furniture. I would only recommend staying if you are comfortable being very close with your roommate. However, with the year round beautiful SoCal weather, it's not really that big of a deal since there was plenty of outdoor space. There was a small gas firepit outside which we sat next to while we sipped wine after dark.

There is a mini-fridge and foreman grill outside, and a microwave inside. Food preparation options were a bit limited so we went down the hill to the small town to eat. It's about a 10 minute drive to the town of Topanga which offers a small selection of restaurants and shops. The roads leading up to the house are very windy and steep, so be prepared for that.

Overall it was a beautiful romantic escape. We both enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway.
