This stay was everything I wanted, it is the total, essential Topanga experience. The cottage had everything I needed for cooking and relaxing. The outdoor bath was completely divine. There was a TV with cable that I didn’t even use because looking out the bay windows to watch the birds and wildlife was more than enough entertainment. The trail is literally steps out the back door and the hike is stunning. Gorgeous oaks everywhere. Definitely take Maggie up on breakfast when you stay, it’s delicious! Even though you’re totally immersed in nature, you’re also only 15 min from shops and restaurants and grocery stores and more hikes. Highly recommend this place, can’t wait to go back!
