The artist cabin is a fun little spot deep in the Topanga woods. Gordon is a straight shooter. More Topanga Cowboy than Topanga Hippie, he'll let you know exactly how things are going to go, and they will go that way. Make sure to take his advice to print out your directions. You won't want to get to the gate without his instructions and no cell service. The Cabin is exactly as described. The real beauty of it is really revealed when you climb into bed and look up through the skylights into the starry night sky. Plan on turning in early, cause like when you camp, it's gonna get light in there early. It's a great value in a great location, with a great host. I'm looking forward to going back soon.
