Koontz Lodge, Maggie and her family are lovely. They all made me feel right at home. I came to visit my family who I hadn't seen in 18 months. We had a lovely day hanging out on the deck and hiking from the trail right behind the cottage. I had a perfect mix of visiting with my kids and also having a peaceful respite enjoying the peace and tranquility of Topanga Canyon. Maggie also provided some delicious food for us. Everything was perfect! I hope to return again soon.
