An amazing place that makes you feel like you've gotten away from it all, yet LA area attractions are still close by. Outstanding views and indoor-outdoor living, and very private. We rarely heard the neighbors, and there was complete visual privacy between them and us. We're foodies, and found the kitchen to be unusually well-equipped. The whole place was bright, clean, comfortable, and charmingly decorated. The bathroom is a designer's dream. The beds were super-comfortable. It is so efficiently laid out that the place seems much bigger than its footprint. The kitchen is more spacious than many houses several times the size of Lynn's cabin. There is beautiful hiking right out the door. The cabin is an easy 20 minute drive to great beaches in one direction and 20 minutes to excellent shopping and dining in the other direction -- although there are great eating places right in Topanga too. Lynn is an extremely gracious host who really cares about making the experience enjoyable and is very responsive when questions arise. We were charmed by the sounds and occasional sightings of wildlife. The highlight was when a pair of peacocks landed on our deck on the last morning.
