Denis's place is quintessential Topanga. My daughter who rarely notices her surroundings mentioned several times how peaceful the spot is. I LOVED the soft sound of the large wind chime on the massive, private deck/patio. The space is quite large and generously lit by skylights throughout. The rooms are large and the kitchen is well stocked for cooking. The location is well-placed in Topanga putting you right in the middle between PCH and the San Fernando Valley, near Calabasas and some great restaurants like Pedaler's Fork and some great new restaurants in The Village and The Commons. You can walk to one of the most beautiful trailheads in the Santa Monica Mountains in less than 20 minutes...or drive to the trailhead. I'm so glad I found this spot. Dennis is a generous, responsive host. I hope to get a chance to visit again.
