I can't say enough great things about our experience at the Guesthouse! Sylviane is an amazing host-- she met us at the gate, and provided us with a stunning introduction to the place-- a beautiful fire awaited us! She was very friendly and helpful, always available for questions or if we needed anything, and knows the area like the back of her hand, so she's got plenty of insider tips. The Guesthouse itself was fantastic. I travelled with my husband and 5 year old boy and we stayed on the main floor (not on the king bed loft) as there was a small converted walk-in closet-turned-kids room that was right off of our room so he felt really comfortable. The indoor fireplace was great for the cool nights, and the huge wall of doors that opened into the garden was great for during the day. We roasted marshmallows in the firepit, and enjoyed the hot tub as well. There was another couple staying in the other rental on the property, but they are very separate, so even though we chose to enjoy some conversation with them, it's as private as you'd like it. The area was also great. We walked around the corner to hike Red Rock Canyon and explored the little caves, we ate in town and easily zipped down to Malibu for the beaches and some nice eats. I highly recommend this little oasis in Topanga for a very relaxed getaway-- you can still enjoy the beach and the city on the side! Thanks, Sylviane, for such a great experience! We will see you again!
