The cottage in Topanga is a sweet getaway and all I want to do is go back! It is a remote, peaceful location, tucked away from the fast pace we associate with the Los Angeles area.
When I arrived, I was greeted by a basket of treats and a bottle of wine. The kitchen had all items to prepare a meal!
The cottage location has expansive views and great landscape. I even saw a coyote pass from my window view. It is definitely more "rural"/ less urban.
It is maybe a mile from the center of the town of Topanga, where you can get your modest needs met.
I think when I return, I may visit some places local to the area that I enjoy, like Venice Beach, Malibu, Santa Monica, and Marina del Rey to name a few.
Other things to note, the cottage is very aesthetically pleasing and CLEAN, and also cannabis friendly. AND the host is very nice and available (by phone/text) when I needed him for a question. This is a well accommodated stay.
