Lisa made check-in and out very easy, stocked the place with games and toys, and was great with our dogs. There was wood for the wood-burning stove (much appreciated, since the mobile home doesn't have central heat or air), and the kitchen was adequately stocked. However, with the small fridge and limited counterspace, it was a bit challenging to cook. The stay was peaceful as it's an old, quiet neighborhood perched on the side of a hill next to Topanga State park, though we were disappointed to learn that dogs are not allowed at the park. Trail running in the park is a blast, and made the stay well worth while, though it can be a bit tricky to get back to the Winfield trail as several sections of it are closed.

Exactly what we needed for our trip

We loved staying at this sweet little canyon bungalow! Our host provided everything we needed and it was easy to make contact with should we have any questions. We saw a bobcat, heard the frogs at night, and loved the Mountain View’s. This location is close enough to conveniently travel into the city and far enough away to feel free from busy city life. Amazing hiking trails just minutes away! Yakoke to our hosts!

This was a terrific place to stay with its beauty, serenity and peacefulness. The views are spectacular and the amenities are awesome - with the comforts of home. It was minutes away from good walking spots for my dog and myself and a short drive to Santa Monica and to Malibu. I had an awesome time and feel very refreshed from my weekend stay.

A small charming home in an area that brings a stillness thats hard to find in the rest of the city. The landscape offers an amazing return to nature. Neighbors were pleasant and very helpful.

Topanga House

My wife and I had a perfect stay at the little Topanga house. Loved the chorus of frogs at night, great hiking nearby, close enough to Santa Monica but far enough out to get really relaxed. Very happy we stayed here.
