The Hacienda Hideaway was absolutely magical! My boyfriend and I loved staying there for a week. The studio-apartment style home is one of three flats attached to a large, unique building that also houses a common room/kitchen, laundry room, and the owner's home. It is located along a mountainside with a beautiful view of the mountains above and the creek below. To get there, you drive a winding dirt path that is very characteristic to Topanga, and can park right next to your home. At first we were unsure as to how the weather would treat the rustic accommodations - we of course flew in a day before a torrential rain storm in chilly temperatures! However, the space heater warms the room incredibly fast, and not even a single drop of rain leaked inside the walls/windows! The mattress is very comfy, the sheets/towels clean. The bathroom and kitchen are functional and well-kept. Everyone on site is very friendly. You can easily be social with other guests/residents, or keep to yourself! We had so much fun, and only wish we could have stayed longer. Will definitely be returning someday!
