About this property
Topanga Mountain Retreat - The Wonderland Cabin
This one-of-a-kind cottage looks like it's out of a fairy tale. It is a lovely mix of antique and modern, nestled in the middle of gorgeous oak trees. The bedroom is tucked away in the upstairs loft, providing a treehouse-feel. Brand new marble bathtub below and kitchenette. The free-standing private cabin is nestled between 2 private creeks and mountain trails - it is a true respite from the city.
You will be nestled in a 13 acre mountain village with other cottages, forests and mountain views.
Visiting this property is a very unique experience, some describe it as “glamorous camping”. No photoshoots, parties or cats allowed. Please read the full description, disclaimer, and reviews, to make sure this is what you are looking for.
****************************************************************************
DISCLAIMER: This is quite different from staying in an ordinary hotel. We are really in NATURE here - these are older cottages hand-built by artists in the forest. They are very rustic! It's like living in a mountain village, with other cottages nearby. While we work very hard to keep our places pristine and spotless - if anyone in your party will faint if they see a bug or lizard or little frog inside - then this probably isn't the place for you. Please be very careful booking cottages for someone else - like your parents just arriving from another continent - they might prefer something more conventional.
Some folks describe our places as a luxurious form of camping. We make our cottages very comfortable - they have all the basics - electricity - wifi - most have kitchens, bath or shower and comfy clean beds. But they are not like a hotel with perfect walls and a sterile atmosphere. Please look at all the pictures and read all the reviews. We can't offer refunds just because we don't meet the standards of a normal hotel. Most people are charmed by this idyllic and bohemian lifestyle - but it's not for everyone.
*********************************************************************
FILM AND PHOTOS SHOOTS: This is an amazing property for photography, and film, with 13 acres of rustic cottages, oak forests and sculpted streams.
Please note we have special rates for filming, in addition to the normal rental charges. Commercial OR student filming is not permitted without permission and fees paid in advance. Professional rates apply to both commercial and student filming. Please let us know ahead of time so we can work out the details.
