The Secret Cottage and Lynn are so special. Hidden deep in Topanga Canyon adds to a feeling of being a world away yet with access to all that Malibu or Santa Monica have to offer. The cottage is well-appointed, cozy and stylish. The pool was incredible on a hot day and great for kids. The drive back into the canyon is eventful and steep but not impossible. We drove it with a Chevy Tahoe but I wouldn't recommend with a larger Suburban. The peace and serenity of the canyon is unrivaled and Lynn is a gracious host with a warm demeanor. We would love to go back.
