This is a charming little cabin in the hills of Topanga. It used to be an old hunting lodge! What really makes this stay special are two things: first, the proximity to a number of beautiful hikes and beaches, and second, Maggie's outstanding hospitality. Whatever you could need, she provides it: recommendations for restaurants, ideas on dog-friendly beaches, assurance that your dogs' messy paws are no trouble, chairs and mats for the beach ... but, the real kicker is her DELICIOUS, fresh, nutritious, and completely affordable home-cooked breakfast, lunch, and dinners. Combining her great food with a few restaurant jaunts made this a cheaper trip ... and frankly, we ended up enjoying her food more than the food we ate out! Cannot recommend enough.
