THE Zen Treehouse Retreat- Great Views and Peaceful Decks!

Our 1926 cottage is a secret Zen retreat! It is nestled in the hills below Topanga and surrounded by sounds of nature & lovely views. Every guest seems to find a spot to fall in love with! Retreat offers a spacious cafe style lit deck with amazing views, succulent garden, gorgeous deck off main suite w/ vast views, a calming study to read in & a tranquil meditation style loft. The newly renovated kitchen creates an amazing culinary experience. Steps away from hiking trails & minutes from PCH.

Natural light filled rooms inspire our guests to open the windows, turn on music and be in the moment. Fabulous windows throughout the cottage create such a perfect energy.

Three bedrooms all with a Zen vibe, a peaceful study & office space, cozy living room and chefs kitchen are what make up your unique stay at the cottage. It is a space of respite, calm, reset and sweet reminders of being in the moment.

Make yourself a morning coffee at the cafe bar, enjoy the sounds of birds chirping on the deck and head out to start your day off right. Whether its hiking, biking, going to the beach, shopping, eating some of the best food, or relaxing... it is all just minutes from the treehouse.

Our little cottage is the recipe for a perfect start to the day. The treehouse is centrally located to amazing restaurants, boutique shopping, endless hiking trails and beaches.

Upon your return to the treehouse, the decks are the perfect place to enjoy golden hour with your loved ones. Sip on a glass of wine, under the cafe lights, as the breeze fills the air and good conversation fills your soul. Evenings under the stars become the most memorable ones.

At the end of a Californian road trip this was a perfect base for a few LA days before heading home. The house is very peaceful and immaculate, in a lovely neighbourhood.

Everything was perfect. Perfect host, excellent communication, great home and location. A bonus for us was a dirt road above the house that extended through the hills with exceptional views of the cities below and the mountains. Thank you, AJ!

This space was truly beautiful. Absolutely dreamy. I wasn't to be in the hills but was still a plus. The view was stunning and i would wake up every morning just to watch yhe sunrise. I was not ready to check out.

This August, my family stayed for about a week at AJ's Zen Treehouse Retreat. It was ridiculously charming and full of small touches that made it easy to enjoy ourselves. Stocked with every kitchen gadget you can imagine, a sweet gift bag, and a gorgeous deck, we spent time reading, taking in the views, and exploring the area. Highly recommended.

My wife and I came for a few day stay over earth day weekend and thankfully were able to extend our stay to fully appreciate the peaceful energy this home offers. It’s an honor to stay here - thank you host AJ for sharing this home with others and putting so much love into it all.

The Zen Treehouse is well stocked, well designed and in a lovely location. I brought my Mom for a Mother Daughter weekend and to attend a wedding in Augora Hills. What a perfect location! Very comfortable beds, relaxing rooms and beautiful outdoor patio - very peaceful. AJ was very responsive and helpful - we felt well taken care of!

We stayed here for 5 nights on a mother-daughter trip to LA and absolutely loved it. Beautifully decorated, just as pictures show. Multiple outdoor sitting spaces to enjoy the California weather with a book or with a glass of wine and conversation. AJ was super responsive and very welcoming. Zero complaints - would absolutely stay here on next trip to LA.

Stunning secluded space with all the amenities! AJ was available when necessary and very friendly. The house is immaculate with every kind of amenity you could possibly want! The decks are amazing and we can’t wait to come back!

We enjoyed the quietude and tree canopy views; loved working in the kitchen (well-outfitted!) and lounging around in the living room; the interior design brought the house together and made it easy to appreciate natural light. It was easy to get to parks, the beach, the Getty Center and Broad Museums - great location for seeing local sights.

From the moment you step up into the garden, you are literally transformed. The place is incredibly clean, incredibly peaceful and all your needs are carefully thought out. We had a great experience for the few days that were there. Plus, awesome water pressure, a bidet, wonderful art and an all around calming and relaxing atmosphere.

The tiniest of details are attended to at this beautiful home. It’s like you walked yourself right into the pages of a magazine. We enjoyed the space and especially the outdoor patio; garden area and taking walks around the neighborhood. Thank you for our stay and we look forward to visiting again!

This is one of the best VRBO places we have ever rented. The home was perfect! It’s very relaxing and beautifully decorated. It has everything you would ever need to make a great meal and two amazing locations to eat your meal with your family. The outdoors was a great place to sit at night and enjoy a glass of wine, listen to music and look at the stars. Also AJ the SUPERHOST was wonderful to work with😊

Clean, very well equipped house. It has everything you need! Appliances, furniture, kitchen all top line and new. Loved sitting out on the deck. Definitely some stairs getting to the house but worth it for the views and calming nature of the area. Owner very responsive. Beautiful area to explore.

This is a designers dream- think designer Amber Lewis and you will get the feel. Roomy and cozy, everything is high end and located in one of Woodland Hills most desirable neighborhoods. Don’t look any further - you will not be disappointed and AJ is great!

First, AJ went above and beyond to help me book her property after having trouble with air b n b. She replied instantly to all my messages. The house itself is so charming and well equipped. The meditation room is picture perfect and the best place for a nap. The kitchen was a dream with beautiful plates and glassware and all the utensils one would need. Great stay and would highly recommend. Thank you AJ!

Zero complaints and one hundred compliments! The owner is exceptional in her response time, and offered full explanations of any questions/concerns. This home is extra special! Immaculate, generous space, thoughtful decor, plentiful amenities, and tranquil setting. Exceeded all expectations, and recommend with enthusiasm to all visiting the greater Los Angeles area. Love it!!!

The TreeHouse and views are amazing. We were in town for a wedding and the location was very convenient to shops, restaurants and grocery stores. The house is so peaceful, comfy, beautiful and super clean. AJ and Jorge were very sweet, responsive and helpful. Loved all of the interior and outdoor areas to hang out and chillax! The gourmet kitchen was stocked with everything we needed which made cooking in really easy and fun. All around great experience. We will be back!
