If I had to choose one word for Cassandra and the Topanga Treehouse it would be 'magical'. She provided a detailed list of things to do and places to eat in the area prior to our stay, making it easy for us to plan ahead. We're happy we took her suggestion to have dinner at The Inn at the Seventh Ray. They have great service and delicious food in a beautiful setting.
The check-in process was smooth and Cassandra showed us around the treehouse. The house was impeccable - cleaner than any hotel or resort I've stayed at. The house itself is one-of-a-kind, and surrounded by stunning views of the trees and mountaintops. The wrap around porch is adorned with flowers, succulents, hummingbird feeders, and twinkle lights. The kitchen was well stocked with garden-fresh fruit, local pastries, hard boiled eggs, Bonne Maman jam, chilled prosecco, and fresh juice. The beds are super plush and comfortable. All bedrooms in the private area have large windows. Despite being up in the mountains, the wi-fi worked great while we were there.
We normally avoid staying in listings where the owner will be on the property. I could tell from the listing reviews that Cassandra was an exception, and was she ever! You have as much privacy as you want, but she's easily accessible for any questions or assistance you might need. She doesn't realize it yet, but we now refer to her as "Auntie Cassandra". And let's not forget her sweetie-pie dog Lulu! :) As soon as you arrive, you'll sense the healing energy from this home. Once you meet Cassandra, you'll know she's the reason why.
