About this property

Magical 1927 Malibu Nature Cottage & Beach Retreat

In 1927, this magical historic hunting lodge & nature cabin was the very first house on spectacular Solstice Canyon in Malibu. The majestic Redwood beams were brought up the canyon by mule train, which followed the deer path to the top. Here among the hummingbirds, eucalyptus, ocean mists, and Southern CA sunshine is the setting of our exquisite little vacation home. Just 5 mins to the beach at the bottom of the road, 6 mins to Pepperdine, and 8 mins to shops & restaurants in downtown Malibu.

Great little family getaway
This place was perfect for our family of 3. We especially loved that the kitchen was well stocked with cooking supplies, and the outdoor shower was a highlight. Great views, and a cozy home.

Let me know when it’s time to sell the property haha
Incredibly seamless experience, host is extremely accommodating and the house and drive to it is super beautiful. Outdoor shower is a great touch and the house feels like your own when you walk in. Great place to call “home” when visiting

Why they chose this property

Whenever I imagined my dream house, it was a little historic cabin or cottage from the 1920s or 1930s, like the one my parents lived in when I was born, in my hometown of Malibu, California. When this little jewel in the rough appeared, we knew it was our chance, and we spent the next 2 years fixing, restoring, uncovering, and polishing this gem of a house. It's serene, awe inspiring, cozy, and convenient here. At the end of a sweet neighborhood, set in a California state park, minutes from the beach and downtown Malibu.

Nearby Santa Monica, Brentwood, Beverly Hills, Hollywood, Downtown Los Angeles, Calabasas, Agoura, Westlake, Thousand Oaks, and Woodland Hills.
