Great getaway spot! Cozy cabin decorated with beautiful Asian art and furniture. More room upstairs. Our 1.5-year-old loves to climb up and down the stairs. Reasonable price.

More of a quirky tree house accommodation, with a good enough outhouse, but nice to be near the center of Topanga. Steep, rocky driveway was OK for our small rental car.

Room smelled musty, no indication that you will have to crawl into the upstairs bedroom frame m a narrow landing. Photos shows the place to be whimsical and inviting. It was neither. Checked out a day early due to the misrepresentations of the place. Was informed by cleaning lady that we needed to be gone by 11am despite check out being the following day. Mentioned that the host who denied it. He said, she said scenario. No problem I wasn’t expecting a refund. But EXTENSIVE CREATIVE LICENSE was taken on this one. Not to mention you will not want to cook there, toaster over was not clean.

The Tea House was exactly what i needed…a peaceful, quiet retreat in nature.The nightly chorus of frogs was a highlight and the trails on the property brought breathtaking views.The host, David, was upbeat, friendly and communicative which made my trip even more enjoyable.There was no tv(perfect!) and no oven/stovetop which made cooking a fun challenge using the toaster oven and microwave. My one tip is to bring napkins and/or paper towel! I can’t WAIT to return!
