The Mermaid Suite met our expectations - if you read all of the descriptions and disclaimers and are on board for a rustic, artistic experience in a unique canyon setting, then this spot is for you. There was a lot of privacy, and it was really quiet. It does get a bit hot in the upstairs loft area, but since we were mainly only there at night it didn't bother us much. There is one fan in the room, but no AC. Check-in and Check-out were a breeze, we never even met David but did chat a bit with some of the friendly people staying in the cabins on the property, as our dog went to meet some of their dogs. Location is close to the center of Topanga but on a busy road so don't expect to walk anywhere. We took an Uber to dinner at Moonshadows and it was only $10. The bathroom door took some finagling to close, but the hot water and pressure in the shower worked great.
