Guestbook comments from the owner
Shari,
The best part of this wonderful Treehouse Fantasy... Well the obvious, the chirping frogs in the Moonlight while soaking in the jacuzzi, the Comfort of Soft music, Candle lit terraced stairs - Solitude - and of course meeting you..
Your manner is one of Grace and Charm but always professional. I now look forward to calling you my Friend.
Peace in the New Year.
Love,
Barbara

Cozy cottage
The best part of this little living space is the backyard! Such a great place to relax and take in all of the scenic beauty.
Great getaway
Me and my boyfriend spent our one year here and It was gorgeous! It was awesome we were allowed to bring my fur baby with us! It was very private and relaxing nice get away from our busy daily lives. It was clean and was stocked with things that I didn't even think of to bring like cooking utinsials! They gave us a great packet with tons of cool and great restaurants to try as well as informing us of grocery stores and attractions that were near by, every night we stayed we went on a adventure and found something awesome, not to mention how amazing the spa was! They were so nice and kind and welcoming I'm glad to be saying I will be coming back! Thank you guys for a awesome stay :)
Such a relaxing Memorial Weekend!
Thank you so much for a wonderful weekend!
My 1 year old daughter, wife and dog stayed here for 3 nights over this recent Memorial weekend. Everything people have written about the parking is true. The 27 North is a busy road but their driveway had plenty of space for us to park. There are 3 small flights of stairs so pack as light as possible. Here's my review on the rental:
Inside - You're not renting this place for the inside of the unit. It's built for renters meaning the furnishings are kept well but older, small TV, etc. Kitchen is small but functional. Fridge kept a surprising amount of food. Freezer holds ONLY ice.. don't bring ice cream. Bring your own coffee! Bedroom and bathroom were fine. Again, you're not renting this place for the interior.
Exterior - AMAZING! They've had some recent upgrades to the outdoors which added so much for us having a one year old. The jacuzzi was great (maybe a little over chlorinated the first day (we got a little itchy) but the second and third nights were perfect). Backyard was great for our dog and they had lots of furniture to set up shop with a book on. The back of the yard had a path that led to a brand new gazebo that had great furniture and an outdoor flatscreen with Smarthub features (Netflix) on it. We found ourselves out there with wine most nights while our kid slept watching Netflix.
15 minutes to a place you can let your dog off leash (go to Tuna Canyon Park)
15 minutes to Whole Foods
10-15 minutes to the beach
Thanks again!
Best Friends Birthday Gettaway
My best friend and I are separated East Coast - West Coast and can only indulge in occasional phone or face time dates. We chose this cottage as a special birthday celebration location and it was absolutely perfect for our needs!
We loaded up on groceries at Whole Foods, climbed the steps to this lovely, quiet, scenic cottage and ate and talked (with wine :-)) for 48 straight hours! Shari had set the bistro table on the deck with a white cloth and vase of roses and we enjoyed the fresh air and the mountain view sitting and chatting outside our first night. The cottage included two of the most enveloping soft white spa robes - little did I know at the beginning that we would spend so much time wrapped up in those! The kitchen was just perfect for our needs and the cottage was both bright during the day and cozy at night. The hot tub on the deck was the grand finale - nothing like bubbling away under the stars with a glass of champagne while any aches and pains melted away.
We did make one venture out to walk and sit on the beach - just a few minutes down the road.
Shari was extremely sweet and accomodating and I would definitely go back if in Southern CA again!
One of my favorites so far
We frequently do weekends away at VRBO sites and have for a few years. This is one of my top rentals thus far. Things to know: The cottage is not at street level. It is up about 4 sections of brick steps with spots to rest in between. Only an issue when carrying luggage in and out but well worth the climb. Once at the top, you don't want to leave. There is no freezer to speak of. Ice cream isn't what you want to bring. There is no tv in the bedroom. The coffee pot is small (I'm a big coffee drinker in the morning!). So simply be prepared for any of these that are important to you. And you'll be in HEAVEN!
The PRO's: The attention to detail is amazing. It doesn't feel like "rental" furniture. Everything you need for cooking is there (except no spices that I could find...just bring what you like). A nice grill is available on the BEAUTIFUL deck. The hot tub is delightful for two. In the evening the moon and stars are spectacular. In the morning the birds and butterflies are delightful. It is private and feels so secluded. The hosts are very accommodating but invisible.
If you, like me, want to feel removed and secluded, love nature, value a beautiful setting over a street level access and appreciate attention to detail...this is the place for you!
Enjoy
Sweet place in the woods
This is a lovely little place mid-way up Topanga canyon--i.e., away from it all. The host was very nice, and really focused on romantic touches like tea candles to light the path, a hammock in a secluded location, and a ready and waiting clean and delightful jacuzzi. It is more simple than fancy, but it is quite enchanting. If you are driving in and are exhausted from the flight/drive, you may want to call ahead to make sure the house is ready-we weren't able to check in until 7 pm despite the stated 4 pm check-in and were fried from driving through LA. The house is clean, cute, and well cared for. The bed was not overly comfortable, but the linens and pillows and towels were all nice quality. There are 3 flights of stairs to get to the house, so be prepared for a lovely walk up. Parking is super sketchy if the driveway is full--its on Topanga canyon road, which is curvy and full of crazy rushed drivers. It is totally self catered, so bring what you need because you won't want to leave once you get there--though the host is glad to supply what she may have on hand.
Map
Nestled in a PARK-LIKE setting, our one bedroom, one bath, Guest Cottage is bigger than a hotel room and definitely more private... and might be just what you're looking for! A WRAP-AROUND DECK provides BEAUTIFUL MOUNTAIN VIEWS with a canopy of oak trees to soothe your troubles away... or... If you must work Wireless INTERNET is available!
