My stay at the Topanga Retreat was fantastic! The place is true to the pictures and would be perfect size-wise for a couple traveling together, or a solo adventurerer like me! And can we talk about the view? Stunning! I recommend brewing up some of the complimentary coffee he provides and watching the sunrise over the canyon from the comfort of your own private deck. My stay was peaceful. It’s quiet and dark there at night so my sleep was uninterrupted and restful. I even heard an owl! I would happily stay here again. It’s close to the PCH, beaches, hikes, great restaurants, and not too far from the liveliness of downtown. Topanga is a bohemian/arty paradise where you can enjoy the feeling of remotness and immerse yourself in nature, all while being a stones throw from all that LA has to offer.
