This cottage is truly one of a kind, and has a ton of character and interest. Maggie clearly goes out of her way to make your stay comfortable, and the extra care and detail she puts in to your visit certainly do not go unnoticed! I really enjoyed being immersed in nature, surrounded by the flora of Topanga, relaxing in the soaking tub with the scrubs, bubbles and spa masks that Maggie set out for guests, watching the hummingbirds and listening to the trees. The meal she made was delicious, especially the tender Caribbean chicken and the pumpkin Gouda ravioli, all homemade. The shower was great, perfect water pressure and the way the sunlight streamed in mixed with the decor, made it all the more relaxing and enjoyable. Our host was super accommodating of us bringing our two dogs as well, which we hadn't planned on due to a last minute change of plans, but we really appreciated her flexibility. It was fun to see her dogs and her pet piggy Primrose every day as well. Overall, charming and comfortable stay, would recommend!
