The Topanga Tree House Retreat is a gem. It offers a quiet relaxing space, that includes two outside sitting areas (Adirondack chairs and a swinging chair) with a beautiful view - both areas are for guests. Staying at Deb's place was the first time I've actually been able to relax in a long time. I found myself waking up at 6:30am so that I could enjoy the peaceful morning, listening to the toads and watching the fog lift. The room was perfect and very clean. Coffee, creamer, towels (beach and bath), and two toga mats are provided. A portable electric heater is in the room for chilly evenings/mornings and there is also a heater that can be turned on in the bathroom when taking showers. Deb was an amazing host. She really let my mom and I do our own thing, but was super responsive when we had a question. She gave us a tour of the room as soon as we got there and also provided us with a welcome binder with recommendations of places to eat, hike, do yoga, etc. She was happy to answer additional questions and provide more information. And I can't forget to mention that the cookies she welcomed us with were absolutely amazing...gone within seconds. Deb's place is tucked away in Topanga but still very close to restaurants, shops, the beach and Malibu. I traveled there from Maryland so I drove up and down the coast a bit, but I could have definitely stayed put and relaxed. I would go back here in a heartbeat!
