This is a real gem of a place! It is a private cottage looking out into the stunning Topanga Canyon, with miles of accessible hiking paths literally at your front door. We loved having access to several thoughtful outdoor spaces, including the outdoor sleeping area (for stargazing) and the outdoor soaker tub. The bed is comfy and the cottage is spacious and well-equipped. The quirky, crafty decor is right in line with the laid-back Topanga lifestyle and makes for a comfy atmosphere. If you are a fan of wildlife, this place will not disappoint - we saw beautiful hawks, coyotes, rabbits, jays, hummingbirds as well as the beautiful local plants, succulents and cacti. The host's sweet pet pigs were an added bonus, greeting us every time we came and left! There are a number of excellent cafes and restaurants within short driving distance, serving gorgeous local food. One thing to keep in mind for drivers: Topanga Canyon Blvd is a challenging drive, beautiful and safe but best to do before nightfall until you are familiar its twists and turns. Strong recommended for a visit you won't forget!
