The neighborhood is lovely and quiet. Access to Hwy 101 is easy. While some rentals are "dedicated" rentals, the owner does live in this house part-time, which means that rather than nondescript, mass-market furnishings, this house has a more personal appeal, with actual family photos on the wall and healthy, thriving house plants. I appreciated the comfort of the bed and the living room sectional sofa for relaxing in the evenings. The back garden is really a lush, gorgeous oasis, with a hammock, several seating areas, and a nice fountain that sometimes attracts birds. I enjoyed this house alone for the most part, but it would be very comfortable for a family or small group, with plenty of space to spread out.

My wife and I were in Topanga Canyon for the week, for a family wedding and our stay at this property greatly enhanced that experience. The cottage was very charming, cozy and nicely furnished & decorated. It had everything we needed, including a large kitchen, comfortable master bedroom & 2 full bathrooms. Was quiet and serene, with a beautiful backyard. Several tasty restaurants were nearby. It was the perfect place for us. Our host was very helpful and accommodating. We plan to return!

This was the perfect place for our girls trip. We could park in the driveway easily and the location has access to restaurants and everything we needed. The house was so cute and cozy and perfect vibes for what we wanted. The house was clean and the host was very responsive for any questions we had The backyard was excluded with a fence and greenery so we felt comfortable using the hot tub. There is a door to a bathroom right by the hot tub so we could rinse off right away. The kitchen was large and had what we needed, and we definitely want to come here again for a longer stay. If the host was home, we couldn't tell! There is a small guest house in the back for the host but we were never disturbed and honestly could never tell if anyone was home. Again, the perfect place for a cozy girl's weekend.

Just divine!

We absolutely loved our stay at this charming and cozy cottage. The garden is the jewel in the crown — beautiful, private, sunny, lush! A great spot to soak in the hot tub or enjoy a glass of wine before dinner. The interior is lovely, comfortable, and spotless. The host was very responsive and personable. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

So good!

The cottage was a perfect spot for my niece & I. It is exactly as deacribed, communication with owner was great & the outside area is so beautiful/relaxing. We choose the house for the close location to the beach & going to get our reiki treatments at the Valley Salt cave. We definitely will reserve again!!

Amazing host & Excellent home

Kerstan is the BEST host we’ve ever had! We have stayed at many VBRO properties & this was a great find. Super clean, greatly stocked kitchen, TV with streaming of all options one could want. I’m a big walker & neighborhood is very safe with lots of challenging hills. Host was very responsive to all request.

We would stay here again!

The photos are accurate, but the real cottage is even nicer! The rooms are large and bright and the kitchen had all the pots and pans and utensils for anyone who likes to cook. With the surrounding hills and trees, the neighborhood is incredibly quiet, but convenient to the many restaurants and stores and businesses on Ventura Blvd and the Valley. Kirsten was very communicative and helpful and friendly, and she answered all our questions. My wife and I highly recommend this property for your getaway to the Los Angeles area! ----Bill and Amy

Rest & Recovery

Kirsten’s home was the perfect location for my mom & I to relax and recover as she healed from a major surgery. The property is very special: Kirsten has created such a sense of home, costal living, and serenity through design. We slept and rested comfortably; bathrooms & kitchen were well stocked. Our favorite part was of course the garden and her two outdoor cats Vixen & Willis; they greeted us for morning coffee and evening wine on the patio which was such a joy. The location was very convenient, it's less than 5 min drive to groceries etc. Finally, Kirsten's communication and accommodation to our ever changing situation was above and beyond. Thank you, Kirsten, for sharing your beautiful home with us!

Ideal Retreat in Woodland Hills

We travel to the valley about 3 times each year to visit our daughter and have stayed in a wide variety of properties - hotels, condos, full rental homes, and ADU's. This property is easily our favorite of the bunch and we could not have been happier in our choice. Close to shopping and an ideal launchpoint for any LA adventure, Kirsten's home is a spacious, bright and calming spot, situated in a charming and convenient neighborhood, just off Topanga Canyon Blvd. The home is situated on a beautiful lot with attractive gardens and outdoor seating to chill and unwind - a very meditative environment. The interior is similarly inviting - tasteful decor, big screen tv, a very comfy master suite, walk-in shower, soaking tub, and a generous and fully appointed kitchen - it truly has it all. The easy-going flow of the home, combined with the abundant natural light made for a very relaxing vibe - an excellent retreat for the three of us. The icing on the cake was our gracious host, who communicated efficiently from the start and made everything as smooth as silk. We were pleased that we could meet face to face and express our appreciation for this very stylish and serene home. Thanks, Kirsten - we will return!

About the host

Hosted by Kirsten

Host profile image
I grew up in So Cal and have adult children, so I regularly enjoy travelling myself and enjoy sharing my space with others who need a peaceful place to land. I split my time between the studio apartment in the back, and my family's beach house, so if you need ANYTHING during your stay, I am available.

Why they chose this property

I love my home in Woodland Hills because it is Topanga-adjacent: close to hiking trails and the beach AND freeway close, in a walkable neighborhood, with tons of dining and shopping opportunities nearby. I am a Realtor who specializes in the surrounding area. So for me, this home checked all of the boxes!

What makes this property unique

We have two semi feral kitties, Willis (fluffy) and Vixen (short hair) who are the neighborhood Moussers and they like to hang around and get rubs. Their bowls are under the sink in the kitchen, feel free to give them a small amount of dry food, but please don't leave their bowls outside, as it will attract skunks, opposums and racoons. If you don't want to be bothered, don't worry, they are wild and are excellent hunters and can fend for themselves, and they should not be allowed to stay inside, thanks!

I am an avid gardener. I have spent 10 years fine tuning the garden which is full of fruit trees and succulents, flowers and a veggie garden for fresh picked produce for you to cook with. And if you'd like any succulent cuttings, feel free to ask!
