The reviews are right... this is a magical place, and rustic is a good word to describe it. Not for those that are scared of dirt (roads and walkways, that is) :) ...we stayed in the Hacienda Hideaway and it was perfect for a weekend getaway. The bed was comfy, the unit was clean, and nothing beats sitting outside on a warm evening with a glass of wine while listening to nature and watching the sun set behind the hills. We enjoyed the convenience to zip down to the PCH and beaches during the day, and the shops and restaurants in Topanga were cute.
Read the description of the place, it is VERY accurate. If you're expecting luxury accommodations or a hotel, this is not the place. BUT this is a wonderful place to get away from it all, relax, and just be.
