I loved this property! The perfect place to stay while I was attending a nearby retreat during the day. The space was clean, and the garden was a lovely place to rest and reflect. I even had the privilege of watching the full moon rise while relaxing in the hot tub. I would stay here again if ever in the area. Thank you for a great experience!

Amazing vibes

Lovely space with all the necessary amenities. Bed was comfortable and the entire space was very Zen indeed.Hottub was clean and ready for use, just a few steps up from the room. Most definitely recommend.

Zin Den was very clean, nicely decorated, but not was not easy to access for two seasoned citizens. It's located at the bottom of a steep set of stairs. It is in a beautiful place in the mountains above Malibu, but if you have to make more than one trip with luggage . . . Michael was very congenial in correspondence and appreciated our feedback.

A peaceful gem!

We loved everything about the Zen Den! It was peaceful, decorated in a lovely Topanga style, extremely comfortable & clean, and full of caring comforts. Michael was a superb host and the added delights of the kittens he fosters (in the attached home) made the stay totally unforgettable.

Quick trip at short notice

Ended up at tjis little gem after a last minute cancellation left me stranded. It's a bit off the beaten track amd you definitely need a car (preferably a small one!) but it is lovely. There are 2 little casitas so would be really nice for a smaill group.

The Zen Den lived up to its name — seriously the most peaceful stay. I don’t think I’ve ever felt that comfortable and at ease. Only mistake? Not booking more nights… major fail on my part. Cute space, good energy, and I’d absolutely stay again. Just make sure you’ve got the parking gate info before heading up if you’re arriving after dark — I learned the hard way.

It was absolutely perfect- I wanted a quiet,safe place to write for a for a whole week. Brought my dog- solitude & beauty everyday. Great hot tub- super clean. Loved the really thick bath towels- & so many amenities the host did not have to supply. ONLY reason I put 4/5 on location was because of the kinda treacherous road w blind curves - had to drive my dog to take walks but it was no big deal. Honestly- I would go again & again!! Thank you Michael!(The Zen Den vibe was magical!)

LA getaway with views

I had wanted to explore the LA vicinity and this property was perfectly placed between malibu, santa monica, calabasas, and burbank, with a 40 minute commute to LA.That being said, the property itself is outlined by the topanga mountain ridge and the hot tub views are breathtaking at dusk, the trails are also so close and to die for!Also this place is very budget friendly for California, i saved over 1000!If anyone is curious this is a 420 friendly property and the vibes definitely soothe the soul!Definitely pick this property if you need a slice of relaxation and some birds chirping!

Topanga Getaway

Was visiting family in the west side of LA, but didn't want to be in the city and have to fight traffic. Zen Den was a perfect location! 20 minutes to Santa Monica, 15 minutes to the beach and already in the hills/mountains. The apartment and grounds are beautiful--a true retreat. Loved everything about the place. Cell service is spotty that high up in the canyon, but the apartment offers WiFi (occasionally spotty). Owner lives on the property and is a nice guy, ready and willing to make sure your stay is great. Highly recommend!

Absolute Spitzenklasse

Der Aufenthalt war einfach wundervoll. Eine sehr ruhige, angenehme und sichere Umgebung. Das Häuschen ist Erholung pur. Ich habe die Abende auf der magischen Terrasse genossen. Es war Erholung pur. Michael, der Host ist ein sehr zuvorkommender und freundlicher Mensch. Ich habe ihn zwar nie persönlich kennen gelernt, aber die schriftliche Kommunikation war immer sehr entgegenkommend und freundlich. Ich würde diese Unterkunft jederzeit wieder buchen und kann sie von Herzen empfehlen.
