Relaxing Topanga getaway: remodeled kitchen/bath, pool, Jacuzzi, close to beach!

True escape

Pool cold water should be advertised as such also hot tub. Shower a joke & bathroom way outdated. No decent soap etc. Rugs filthy. Couldn’t get xfinity to work. Neighbor dogs barking in the night. Terrible hide a bed had to sleep on floor. No amenities. Way overpriced.

Beautiful pool house in a very quiet area! Made for the perfect getaway that was close enough to town yet far enough to be relaxing. The host was above and beyond helpful with everything and helped make the stay extra special. Would stay here again in the future no question.

Our stay was excellent and our host attended to our request! Beautiful property. Thank you!

We were in Los Angeles for work, took a few days and escaped here for a sorely needed break. Area hiking trails nearby plus the ocean just down the canyon proved to be just the trick. Would recommend to anyone in a similar position (or not). A pool and hot tub just outside the door was the cherry on top. Thanks again. A beautiful, quiet spot.

The property was in a lovely setting. However there are a few maintenance issues that need to be addressed. The wooden gate is ridiculously heavy and very difficult for one person to close/open. The hot tub is surrounded by bird poop from the overhead tree. It needs to be power washed! Additionally, you can’t even get into the hot tub without hitting your head on the overgrown bushes. The cushions need to be replaced on the outdoor furniture as you can feel the hard metal on your back when you sit down.

Rachel’s property was beautiful! We loved how close it was to Malibu and the drive into more populated areas wasn’t bad at all - how can one complain about the drive/views through the mountains! It was a great spot for relaxation and peace!

My husband and I along with our dog Levi had a peaceful and relaxing vacation staying at Rachel’s place. Rachel was wonderful and always responded to any questions we had quickly. An additional plus were the two friendly and sweet white golden retrievers who would visit us everyday. The cottage was very clean with a well equipped kitchen to cook meals. There were lots of towels and a comfortable bed. Lying by the pool using the jacuzzi surrounded by trees in the quiet neighborhood reading, napping or just relaxing was perfect for us. Close by hikes and the beach as well as sweet restaurants in Topanga and a general grocery store was a big plus for us.Thank you so much Rachel. Mark, Julie and Levi.

Great stay love the house 10/10

Reserved the guest house for our honeymoon and it was PERFECT. Host was super friendly and communicated well so that we knew what to expect upon arrival as well as during our stay. The property is beautiful as well. The guesthouse has air conditioning, a fireplace and WIFI! We had good weather during our stay but glad we had the option of AC if we needed it. Kitchen had all the fridge and freezer space as well as oven/stove for cooking as needed. Saved us some money from eating out in LA every night . We loved the location as well as it was a nice way to retreat from the hustle and bustle of LA/Malibu. We used the hot tub which was great as well. Thanks for making our honeymoon memorable!

Everything was immaculate. The pool was well maintained throughout our stay, and the yard truly felt like our own little paradise. As someone who loves birds, I was especially thrilled by the variety we saw — and even their sounds were different from back home, which made it such a special treat.The location was perfect — surrounded by nature and so peaceful. It was the ideal place to relax and unwind. We would absolutely stay again!

It was as described, the hot tub was wonderful to relax in, the grounds were beautiful! Rachel gave wonderful recommendations for hikes and Malibu beaches which were beautiful. She was quick to reply to any texts, and ensured we would fine the home on arrival.

Hot tub didn’t work at all, locked out one night we had to enter a different way! Spiders everywhere! Never told about the roads being the way they were! Everything in cabinets hard as a rock!!

Gorgeous fenced yard with an amazing hot tub!

Rachel was very welcoming before and during our stay. The location is so serene. Our guest house was perfect with the beautiful spa right out our door. Nicely updated kitchen & bathroom. All the amenities needed in this gem guest house.

Had a relaxing stay. The host was helpful and accommodating.

Rachel, our host, went over and beyond to make sure our stay was perfect! She was very flexible, communicative, and overwhelmingly hospitable. The house is such a nice little getaway tucked into the Topanga Canyon. The pool, spa, and garden were beautiful. There was plenty of space to run around with our dog in the terraced garden! Thank you so much, Rachel!

Cute and comfortable! We really enjoyed the guesthouse and its beautiful surroundings. The pool was lovely, though too cold to use during our stay — but the spa hot tub was amazing, and we enjoyed it every day. The kitchen, with its full-size refrigerator, gas stove, and small dishwasher, met all our needs perfectly. The bed was comfortable with good pillows (important for us) Rachel was easy to reach and responsive when we had a question or two.We’d highly recommend staying here! We also loved hiking at nearby Dead Horse and doing a bit of shopping in town.

Rachel was a phenomenal host! Very accommodating! The house was clean, comfortable and had everything you need for a comfortable stay! The pool and hot tub were very relaxing after a day of hiking at Topanga state park! I would recommend this property to anyone traveling in the area!!

The location is fantastic, only a few minutes away from Santa Monica but up in the hills so it looks completely remote. The view is insane! The pool and hot tub were wonderful, we actually ended up spending both afternoons just lounging around and swimming. The beds (including the sofa bed) were very comfortable. This would be an ideal location for a couple, and served as an excellent home base for our family also. We have two kids, one elementary and one middle school age; they shared the sofa bed.

The host was very responsive and friendly. We loved being under a peaceful canopy of trees with the pool right outside the door. We even had a small frog visit us in the morning! I would stay there again when visiting Los Angeles.

We loved our stay, especially the hot tub and relaxing poolside. Comfortable bed and all the seating too! The hosts are very friendly.

Absolutely charming, cozy, peaceful and beautiful pool house and garden. We loved the quiet, the birds, magnificent trees from the hot tub. The unit was comfortable with beautiful views and everything we needed for a time away from home. Easy access to many hiking trails and the Will Geer Theatrical Botanicum. Thank you Rachel for sharing your incredible property with us.

We live in central Los Angeles but took a staycation here for 3 nights and had an absolutely wonderful time! Although close to the city we felt worked away with the beautiful garden, pool, jacuzzi, and best of all - quiet! Rachel is an outstanding and responsive host, and our dog loved meeting her dogs. Highly recommended!

We stayed there for our 2nd time and it was again amazing! The house is top and the pool superb! It’s very quiet and peaceful. Rachel is always helpful and reachable!

We had a beautiful and relaxing stay at this cozy house! The space was just what we needed — peaceful, private, and incredibly comfortable. We especially loved the heated pool and Jacuzzi, which made our time there feel like a true getaway. The area was quiet and serene, perfect for unwinding. The host was amazing — very kind, responsive, and made sure we had everything we needed for a perfect stay. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a relaxing escape!

Very nice and clean. It was hot when we made it there and we couldn't nap bc of that

Booked this cute little place for a staycation with some friends and it was perfect. Super quiet and relaxing while also not being super far from the city. The spa and pool were lovely and the star gazing we did on the deck at night was incredible. I will 100% be rebooking in the future with my family. Plus if you’re a fan of dogs, you might just be greeted by a golden retriever in the morning (but don’t worry if you’re not, Rachel was a great host and will make sure they’re out of the way of you need)

If you are looking to get away from the noise and get back to serene nature , this property is for you. We enjoyed quiet morning walks with the views and charm of Topanga Canyon. Property was relaxing and cozy. The property owners attentive when needed and great hosts. Highly recommend for a peaceful get away.

The host was very accommodating and always a txt away. The stay at this delightful home was just what I needed

Rachel was great. On top of everything, very professional. Thanks Rachel. Phil & Mary

Our stay with Rachel was exactly what my husband and I were looking for! The guest house is clean, comfy, private - and the gated backyard area was perfect for our dog. Rachel was friendly, communicative and prompt whenever we needed anything or had a question. The neighborhood is secluded and private. We felt like we were a world away from LA. Highly recommended!

We came with our two children to spend a few days in L.A. The guest house was well equiped, tiny but charming and the pool/jacuzzi made use feel privileged. The location was great to visit the city, hike in the canyon or go to the beach. We would go back with no hesitation!

We really enjoyed the hot tub and how accessible the town was from the place. Nice shower and daybed area as well!

Quiet comfortable serene house Loved every minute great host

I loved staying here with my 3 children. It was not too far from the beach, but tucked away enough that it was quiet and very relaxing without the busy vibe of LA. The hosts were extremely kind and attentive, but also gave us our space to have great family time. I hope to be back someday!!

Very quiet area for a peaceful stay. Owner was great to work with.
