The Topanga Tree House is an absolute gem and Deb was a wonderfully welcoming host. Everything was set up perfectly on our arrival, the house is very easy to find and the studio really gives you 100% privacy, just you, the gorgeous studio & the wonderful outside spaces. The place is super clean, warm and welcoming, with a great mattress and proper duvet, which was a dream come true after 15 days of hotels with sheet+blanket combos. Loved the big windows and the view of trees in the morning and absolutely fell in love with the swing outside, I think everyone will.

Topanga is also a perfect location for a hike, rummaging trough some of their tiny shops and having a nice brunch (Deb will give you a great list of those!). But don't feel guilty if you just want to stay at the Tree House Retreat most of the stay, sit on the swing and go trough great interior design and architecture books, because well, it's awesome!

PS: People are not just saying that about the cookies, they really are yummy!
