About this property
Topanga Creative Suite + Private Trails & Creeks
Peaceful 1 bedroom apartment with full kitchen and full bath! This home features a large living room with generous windows, a queen pillow-top mattress and a little outdoor space with table + chairs. Additionally, there are lovely private trails and creeks on the property for you to explore stunning canyon scenes. We're a short distance from public hikes, nature reserves and Topanga town, only 2 minutes down the road.
THE SPACE: This creative Suite is spacious and comfortable, with lots of windows. Amenities include a queen bed, full kitchen with a new fridge, bathtub and shower. This is a place to think, to create, to write, to read, to power down from all the usual daily distractions and just be.
We have a brand new wireless router with extremely fast WIFI at 85mb per sec. We also have a new, very reliable tankless hot water heater that never runs out of hot water for the bath/shower..
We provide all basic needs except toiletries. There is a French press and hot water kettle inside the unit.
You will be nestled in a 13 acre mountain village with other cottages, forests and mountains. You’d never know you were anywhere near a city! This apartment is attached to the main house unit and is more secluded at the very end of the structure.
Visiting this property is a very unique experience, some describe it as “glamorous camping”. No extensive photo taking, NO PARTIES, NO LOUD MUSIC, quiet time after 9pm, Dogs are welcome for a $18 fee per pet, per night. Cats are not okay for their own safety and allergy restrictions. Dogs are not permitted to be left unattended during your stay. If it causes a disturbance, a $25 fine will be implemented. $40 fee for loud music or excessive noise.
Please read the full description, disclaimer, and reviews, to make sure this is what you are looking for.
**************************************************************************************** DISCLAIMER: This is quite different from staying in an ordinary hotel. We are really in NATURE here - these are older cottages hand-built by artists in the forest. They are very rustic! It's like living in a mountain village, with other cottages nearby. While we work very hard to keep our places pristine and spotless - if anyone in your party will faint if they see a bug or lizard or little frog inside - then this probably isn't the place for you. Please be very careful booking cottages for someone else - like your parents just arriving from another continent - they might prefer something more conventional.
Some folks describe our places as a luxurious form of camping. We make our cottages very comfortable - they have all the basics - electricity - wifi - most have kitchens, bath or shower and comfy clean beds. But they are not like a hotel with perfect walls and a sterile atmosphere. Please look at all the pictures and read all the reviews. We can't offer refunds just because we don't meet the standards of a normal hotel. Most people are charmed by this idyllic and bohemian lifestyle - but it's not for everyone.
**************************************************************************************** FILM AND PHOTOS SHOOTS: This is an amazing property for photography, and film, with 13 acres of rustic cottages, oak forests and sculpted streams.
Please note we have special, and quite reasonable rates for filming, in addition to the normal rental charges. Commercial and Student filming are the same rates. Commercial or student filming is not permitted without permission.
Please let us know ahead of time so we can work out the details. ***************************************************************************************

Very cool place with the best host! Everything is perfectly decorated. Private and the property is beautiful. Very unique and one of a kind experience.
It was exactly as described which was perfect for us dog owners. We came here for two nights (July 3,4) to avoid the fireworks barrage in our own neighborhood.It was very quiet. We heard a few booms way off in the distance on July 4th, but nothing nearby and nothing loud that would affect the dogs.Grateful to have this option.
The hosts were quick to answer any questions throughout the entire booking. The property was exactly as described. Quiet, secluded area away from the noise of the city, yet close enough to get there quickly if you want.
Wonderful location, great trails right out the door, creek near by, sounds at night only of frogs and owls. Very nice and responsive hosts. Not for everyone; it is rustic, not elegant -- but exactly what we want. Also a great deal for the price. Having a full kitchen saved us a lot of money.
I love this place — the sound of the birds and access to the trail make it so special. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and I always enjoy staying here.The trail was more overgrown than my last visit, so I didn’t walk as long as I had hoped. There was also quite a bit of noise from the upstairs unit at times, which disturbed my sleep — perhaps additional rugs or soundproofing could help.A microwave and hair dryer would also be helpful additions.Overall, I truly love this spot and would happily return.
Great ground-level suite with large living/dining area, small bedroom, kitchen, and nice bathroom. Very rural and quiet, especially for L.A.

Liked: Location, listing accuracy
Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication
The property itself is nestled nicely in the trees, the location is very convenient, and I felt safe during my stay. However, the management, cleanliness, and amenities were highly disappointing.Upon arrival, I found dirty underwear and a partial snack wrapper left in the bedroom and a dirty tray in the toaster oven. The kitchen was very poorly stocked for cooking, there were no paper towels, no tin foil to use in the toaster oven, no strainer, and the knives were quite dull. Noise is also an issue; I could clearly hear the upstairs unit watching TV late into the night and had to sleep with a pillow over my head.The biggest issue was the host's unethical billing practices. They required an off-platform pet deposit via Zelle (which violates Vrbo policy) and then refused to return the full amount. I had to escalate the issue to Vrbo customer support twice just to recover my stolen funds. A peaceful setting unfortunately does not make up for this kind of mismanagement.
Decent, rustic (as stated), funky place. Good hot water, kitchen items/utensils/etc, a table, chairs, sofa ... butThey have changed the decor since the photos here, and perhaps it should be called the "Random suite" rather than "creative" suite - it seems to be the place they put all the things they didn't know what else to do with (the pics show they once had a much better designer). Random does not equal creative.(said with humor).Alternately, they could call it the "surfers suite." There is a huge mural dominating the space of brightly a colored surfer scene, and a large painting of a surrer on the other wall, with surf boards outside. I still would have rented it, as I just needed a place to sleep, but not a place I'd be inspired to relax and feel peaceful to write/meditate/have a retreat.There wasn't any proper curtains for the door that goes outside from the bedroom, so I needed to hang an extra blanket over it to block the light coming in from yard lighting. I also didn't like the overpowering scent - likely a cleaning supply of some kind. Just a heads up if scent sensitive.And finally, a heads up for anyone with even slight mobility issues, bad knees, hips, or back - you have to crawl in and out of the bed from the foot of the bed since there is no room on the sides (it is nearly flush with walls both sides).All that is just an FYI for those coming here in the future - all in all it was decent so it is still a place that is reasonable and clean and tended to.
This is a simple but comfortable little place in an absolutely beautiful location. Malibu's beaches are about 10 minutes away and there are lots of hiking options in the canyon as well. The town of Topanga has some great restaurants and coffee too. There is no A/C, but fans are provided and it gets cool at night. I felt like I was at a secret hideaway and loved it!
