With this listing, you are renting out two separate listings that are in the same backyard garden area. The Zen Den and the Farmhouse are steps away from each other and provide an excellent space for a larger group to rent out together. This comes with exclusive use of the entire backyard, hot tub, and two rooms each with their own queen canopy bed, kitchenette, full private bathroom, and outdoor patios and deck.
The Space:
The property has three different spaces, the main house that you will see upon entering the gate and going down the front steps. At the bottom of the stairs, you will pass the front door and continue on to the pathway to the left that leads out to the hot tub deck and a breathtaking view of the mountains.
Down the stairs to the left from there is the Zen Den, which is part of the main house and is technically a second bedroom, but has its own entrance, bathroom and kitchenette on the lower floor in the garden.
The Farmhouse is a guesthouse further down in the garden at the bottom of the property and detached from the main house.
Guest Access:
Full access to both bedrooms, each with their own private kitchenette and full private bathroom. There is a patio outside The Zen Den, as well as a small patio and deck outside The Farmhouse.
The hot tub is for your exclusive use as well.
The Neighborhood:
Nestled in the heart of Topanga Canyon, our Fernwood Pacific neighborhood offers a serene and picturesque retreat, perfect for those seeking a peaceful escape from the city. Surrounded by lush greenery and majestic mountains, you'll find yourself immersed in nature's beauty while enjoying easy access to a variety of local highlights.
Take a leisurely stroll through Topanga Village, where you'll discover eclectic shops, art galleries, and quaint cafes that showcase the canyon's unique character. For outdoor enthusiasts, Topanga State Park is just minutes away, offering breathtaking trails for hiking, biking, and exploring the area's diverse flora and fauna.
Relax on the pristine beaches of nearby Malibu and Santa Monica, or catch a captivating performance at the Will Geer Theatricum Botanicum, an enchanting outdoor amphitheater. The Fernwood Pacific neighborhood is truly a hidden gem, where you can experience the perfect balance of tranquility and adventure.
Getting Around:
The best way to get here and get around while you are here is to have your own car. There is street parking around the property detailed in the house manual and getting here documents.
It is about a 15 minute ride down to Malibu and the rest of West LA by the PCH, and about 20 minutes to go the other way to the San Fernando Valley and the rest of LA by the 101 freeway.
It is possible to take an Uber or Lyft but it can often be hard to get a car because there aren't always drivers in the canyon and sometimes they are hesitant to come up this way. Expect it to take longer than usual to get a ride to pick you up.

My 3 daughters & go away to a special place every year. We rented both the Zen Den & Farmhouse for a long weekend & it was absolutely 5 star perfect- the hot tub, accommodations— the QUIET & stunning natural beauty surr Us - the OUTDOOR, comfortable bathtub (traditional showers inside too :)- seriously could not have been better- we can’t wait to return!
The two bedroom Zenda is a perfect getaway for a couple of friends. The lush landscape was perfect to have a cup of coffee or a nice meal outside, the hot tub was perfection and the view is stunning. Michael is an incredible host and made us feel very comfortable and was available for any questions we had about the property. This charmed nature filled little getaway is perfect for relaxation. Highly recommend!
What a lovely and unique property! As described, the rental is actually 2 separate "studio-style" spaces, each with a full bath, small kitchenette, and private outdoor deck space. Each space is distinctively decorated with thoughtful amenities and great attention to detail. So inviting and comfortable! The location is perfect - nestled into the hillside of Fernwood, which is about halfway between PCH and Top-O-Topanga. This rental is ideally situated for 2 couples (or 2 independent adults) traveling together; there are also 2 parking spots available, which was awesome. The host, Michael, was very communicative and personable, and we really enjoyed getting to meet his kittens! Thanks for a wonderful stay!
Great property for a large group, the bedrooms are spacious and the kitchen/living area is roomy enough for family meals. Love the view from the eating area, golf course is beautiful. The kitchen is well stocked, most everything we needed, large refrigerator/freezer. The pool and hot tub are great but the bottom of the pool is a bit rough. Walk to the beach is about 5-10 minutes, easy walk. Loved the beach towels that were supplied, you don’t need to bring your own beach towels. The hot tub was also great. Overall we totally enjoyed our stay, the house was large enough for our family of nine, very clean when we arrived. Would totally recommend if you’re looking for a beach vacation with a large group. Washer and dryer were also very nice. The rental company was very responsive when we called about garbage pick up and debris in the pool after a storm.
