I had a wonderful stay at the cottage, it was everything I had hoped for. I was looking to escape the town for 24hours so I packed some walking boots, a good book, my ukulele, and plenty of food and went to the mountains. The setting is beautiful and peaceful, it's private but not too remote with other dwellings just steps away. Topanga village is also within walking distance. The mountain setting and views are beautiful. It's perfect for those traveling alone or for a couple. David and Saskia are wonderful hosts and interesting, good spirited people and I felt very much relaxed and at home there. The rain poured for much of the time I was there but I didn't mind one bit, it happily washed away any halfthunk itineraries and allowed for a long candlelit soak in the marble bath. I look forward to going back!!
