About this property

Charming 2 BR/2BTH Topanga Canyon cottage

This knoll top home with canyon views off the front and back reflects my love of original art, travel, and the outdoors. We're unique in our location, privacy and vibe. Unlike a lot of Canyon homes, we get a lot of sunlight, literally from dawn to dusk. Past guests have commented the best time to enjoy the home is at sunset, hanging on the deck, letting the day wind down. We also enjoy being part of a independent minded community that relishes it's relationship with nature and privacy.

Everything good!
Overall very positive. The street it is on is very narrow road making parking tight. Other than that if you like the vibe in the pictures it is a 10

Peaceful Retreat
Our week-long stay at Mary's home was exactly what we needed during Thanksgiving Week. We had a beautiful space, both inside and out, we could enjoy and feel like we'd "gotten away from it all." At the same time, we were in close proximity to family in the valley. Mary's attention to detail was impeccable. We are so thankful she was willing to let us have our dogs with us, and it was clear how much she loves her own. To be able to hike in the canyon right from the property was delightful. The indoor space was perfect for the two of us, and the outdoor deck and porch space was really amazing. The peace and tranquility the landscaping and water features added were another lovely layer. This was truly an exceptional find.

Really Beautiful
We came to visit some family and had a really nice time hiking and exploring the area around the property. The view of the canyons from all angles of the home was gorgeous and picturesque. Would recommended bringing detergent if you're looking to use the washer/dryer but the home had most things that we needed. Clean for the most part except for the shower curtains that we sprayed some cleaner on for mold.

Enjoyed our stay.
Beautiful spot. Can hike into the canyon directly from the property. No off-street parking. Be aware that space for cars is extremely limited.
