We were there for the President day week. We are a family of 3, and Ralph's place was perfect for us. It is surrounded by beautiful winery and I could see amazing rocks from the window. I felt like we were in secluded area because it was very quite and peaceful, but actually, it is just 5 mins away from the town of Topanga where you can go to nice restaurants and small cafes, and local shops. And it is just 30 mins from Santa Monica beach. It was awesome to visit the beach and go on a hike the next day. The kitchen was well equipped with well maintained pots and pans, nice coffee from Trader Joe's. Even the sofa bed was very comfortable. This place is not big, but it has everything you need. This place is very cozy and I could feel the thoughtful touch everywhere. Ralph cut lots of woods so that we could use the fireplace which was super nice for the cold night in the mountain. My family loves this house so much, definitely we will come back soon.
