My boyfriend and I slept so incredibly in the mermaid room! The entire place has a very cool relaxed vibe. While there are other residents and guests coming and going we felt we had complete privacy..and everyone we did see had a smile.... we actually live in Los Angeles and thought it was a great place to get out of town, be in nature and still be just minutes from town! And we were right! It is really a wonderful mountain retreat...it's also spacious and comfortable Anyone who loves nature will appreciate this location - there are are some very unique and different cabins on the property..it really is a great place to visit and off the beaten path..I have lived in Venice over 20 years and I've always loved Topanga Canyon. I love that you can book something for such a reasonable rate and fully enjoy the energy Topanga Canyon is famous for! We saw a coyote on the drive up the mountain the first night, we had no trouble finding the green lighted bridge and the main house...we appreciated being able to arrive at our convenience and we both woke up saying "wow!, I really slept great!" we also really appreciated having a refrigerator conveniently located right outside the room. The mermaid room was much larger than I thought it would be and seemed like the perfect place for a group of 3 or 4...there was a sleeping loft up a spiral staircase we didn't use but would be ideal if traveling with friends. We just really enjoyed our stay and with out a doubt, stay again! The mermaid room and the entire property has our highest recommendation! THANK YOU LEAH & DAVE!
