We (four adults) had a very nice visit to this cottage. Though there were several other residences in close proximity to this one, it was very tranquil. The views were beautiful on all sides--very green and lush since it's been raining. It was great to have the state park just a short way down a quiet road for walking/hiking. (Most of the roads in Topanga do not provide a safe place for pedestrians--we are not from around here and were not expecting this.) My boyfriend and I slept on the pull-out couch, which inflates somewhat and was quite comfortable. We didn't get much privacy in the main room from our travel companions, but that was expected.
