About this property

Topanga Japanese Tea House + Private Creek + Mountain Trails.

This incredible two story cabin in the heart of Topanga is for nature lovers. It has a lovely outside covered deck which feels like you are floating in an oak forest. You are fully immersed in nature in this unique home, but with all modern amenities. Enjoy the creek below and hiking trails throughout the property.

This charming wooden cottage with a lovely outside covered deck feels like you are floating in an oak forest. You'd never know you were anywhere near a city. Amenities include: stainless steel sink and counter, refrigerator, butcher block chopping area in the kitchenette as part of an outdoor dining area and an inside living room. The downstairs features a newly installed Brazilian Cumaru hardwood floor which, believe it or not, came from Jennifer Aniston's home! There is a queen size bed downstairs.

Climb up a wooden stair case through a hobbit door to enter in a very large bedroom area with beautiful wooden rafters and a queen size bed. There is plenty of room for additional mattresses. There is a separate detached bathroom with a full bath located outside just below the kitchen steps. You will have high speed wireless internet and a long driveway for parking.

You will be nestled in a 13 acre mountain village with other cottages, forests and mountain views.

Visiting this property is a very unique experience, some describe it as “glamorous camping”. No photoshoots, parties or cats allowed. 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 rates for filming, in addition to the normal rental charges. Commercial OR student filming is not permitted without permission and fees paid in advance. Professional rates apply to both commercial and student filming. Please let us know ahead of time so we can work out the details.

Spring Break 2025
Everything was as described. It’s a great little place. It was nice to get away from the city for a bit. My teen enjoyed it and my 6 year old loved the second floor and the nature walks and outdoor on the property.

Beautiful, comfortable and perfectly rustic
We loved our stay in Topanga! The kids loved sleeping in the upstairs room and playing on the swing. I loved waking up to the sounds of birds and roosters outside. The outdoor kitchen was great and had everything we needed! The bathroom is in an outbuilding and was comfortable and easy to access - I took a bath and watched the trees through the skylight. We miss it already!

Beautiful Escape
This is an amazing place for those who don't shy away from nature. It's tuckes away, but close enough to Topanga to easily explore the rest of the community. The outdoor kitchen was magical. It was exactly what we needed. Thank you to the hosts for curating such a serene space!serene

The worse experience!
The upstairs room was smelling so bad. The area outside the bathroom was stinking. The heater wasn’t working. We immediately left the cabin. Please do not book here. Not worth a penny

Cabin in the wood
We enjoyed our stay very much. This place is highly recommended to everyone who likes to spend much time outdoors in the nature and simultaneously don't want to miss a very comfortable bed, kitchen and fridge, a hot shower and Internet.

I love the location of the cabin. I felt like I was staying in a treehouse. And I just want to say when there was a slight issue. I can’t remember the gals name that maintains the cabins but she was extremely helpful and I thank her for all of her support with working through the problem. Great customer service
