Overall the excellent experience was ok! I actually really like the place, it just did not meet my expectations based on the description and cost.
The place it’s self is adorable and definitely provides the ethereal Topanga Canyon vibes I was going for.
However, I do not agree - as the description states - that it is very “private” and “secluded” which was my primary goal. It is a property with several other structures on it that appear to also be Airbnb units, some trailers, some construction equipment, and it is very close to a busy road. There were cars pulling in and out shining headlights into the space for most of the evening. At one point there was someone only a few yards away from our bedroom window rustling through the foliage and trees with a flashlight at around 10 PM for a good 20-30 minutes which was uncomfortable. One of the other structures was only about 75 feet away from ours. Felt more like a tiny house campground.
I paid close to $300 for the night. For that price - I did not find it valuable. Something in the 150 range would be more appropriate in my opinion. I’ve stayed at similar properties in the canyon for around the same price that had all of the bells and whistles, cookware, nice linens, beautiful decor, and even snacks and toiletries included.
I found this place to be furnished/decorated to the bare minimum, cheap microfiber sheets, minimal cookware, no dish soap, two thin hard pillows each bed, etc.
That being said, had I not paid so much, or expected privacy and seclusion as the description states, I would’ve loved it! I was expecting more of a quiet luxury camping vibe for my partner and I, and I felt I was mostly paying for the privilege of being in topanga canyon rather than the accommodations matching the price.
I would come back again with my own comfort items if the price were about half.
