Short weekend

The place is very cute and cozy. The owner is great, very very helpful. Getting to the little cottage will get your step goal quickly, once there it is like you are in a tree house.

Peaceful rest in a wonderful place

Nice small cottage in a nearby canyon. My wife and I came to visit friends and attend the Tournament of Roses Parade. Place was clean and welcoming. The host was great. The hike up the stairs and across a bridge was unexpected. We ended up leaving our big suitcase in the trunk of the car. Hope to stay again.

Clean and Relaxing Getaway

We really enjoyed our stay here. The cabin is small but comfortable and clean. There were nice touches throughout from soft blankets to fresh flowers and sugar for coffee/tea-- you can tell the host cares about providing you a comfortable stay. It's not a 5-star hotel, but it's a unique experience. One thing to note is that it is right next to a main road (this didn't bother us and of course is not the host's fault but you should be ok with this. The back house is tucked away.) I would also recommend that you bring mosquito spray or have a citronella candle (as we did) if you plan on using the beautiful outdoor space.

Coming to this place nestled in the trees was just what we were looking for. You feel like you're in the woods even though you are right on hwy 27. There is a steep flight of stairs to get to this adorable cottage that might be a challenge for some. Perfect central location for the Getty Villa, hiking, dining, shopping and the beach.

One of the best getaways in Topanga

Shari is amazing to work with and her property reflects the same. There are a few homes located on the property and we stayed at the one that is built around the trees. It is secluded and the view.... WOW! The cottage has everything you need and more including a wonderful sound system for snuggling up with the one you love. The location couldn't be better as it is less than a mile from the heart of Topanga. I'm hesitant to write this review as I prefer to keep this little gem to myself. All in all a great experience and we can't wait to return!

Cozy, convenient and relaxing

Hidden away in Topenga Canyon, this little cottage is a wonderful oasis. I've come back again to stay with Shari and Bert and enjoy not only the wonderful surroundings, but the incredibly thoughtful, friendly and warm hospitality. The walk up to the cottage has quite a few stairs, so you should pack and plan accordingly. Once you are there, it is a beautiful, quiet spot. I am in the area often for work, and this is my go-to spot as opposed to a hotel. Convenient to Universal, Malibu, Santa Monica and only about 30 minutes from LAX, you are in the country but very close to the city. The Topenga Canyon area is eclectic and beautiful. My favorite spot in the LA metroplex. I will be back!

perfect getaway

I had a perfect getaway at this lovely cottage in the canyon!! Shari was a wonderful host, their place has nature everywhere you turn which was what I was hoping for! Such detail on the property and adorable pathway to the home with candles light everywhere. My dog loved it too!! Their location is smack dab between some great eats in the area and of course hiking and the beach is super close too. I will most definitely stay here again!! Highly recommended.

Romantic little getaway in the canyon!!

Great little cottage in the canyon. Very romantic, candles lit on the property, and pretty lighting along the way to the cottage from the main home. They are the best hosts we have come across in all of our homeaway stays!!Would definitely come back, and definitely recommend.
