Linda was a wonderful host for our brief stay at their home - very considerate and thoughtful about how to make my friend and me comfortable. It's a great base for exploring Topanga and Malibu, and we also enjoyed sitting on the patio, enjoying the striking view of the mountains, and sipping on some delicious coffee provided by the hosts.

Very nice property on a private road in the hills. The hosts were excellent at communicating and were extremely accommodating. This is essentially a private wing of their home, and we had our own 2 bedrooms with adjoining balcony and a large bathroom. It was not a "common area" of the home, so although the stairs to the main level were right there, we still had our privacy and did not feel like we were "in" someone else's living quarters. The beds were so comfortable, we slept like logs, everything was clearly labeled and provided, including clean bedding, towels, toiletries, filtered drinking water, etc. If you are looking for a quiet getaway in the hills, then this is the place for you. The only drawbacks were having to drive a ways to so many things since there's not really an area to store/make food, and that there is not cell phone service, but I would definitely recommend if you are looking for peace, quiet, and tranquility.

This was our 1st time with a VRBO booking and couldn't ask for a better experience. We wanted a quiet "hub" for our daytime weekend outings and got exactly that. The emailed directions to the home indicated that GPS might not reliably work in the canyons leading to the home, but our GPS worked just fine. I would note that cell phone service (Verizon for us) dropped out as we go close to the home. I'd definitly recommend a stay here!

Clean and comfortable rooms with a beautiful view of Topanga Canyon right out of the window on the private porch. Linda and Ron were great hosts, providing coffee, water, and offering anything else we needed during our stay. The roads leading to the property can be tricky to navigate, particularly at night. You are staying in the home as the hosts, this is not an entire home rental but plenty of privacy was given. We have a wonderful stay!

We wanted to be a short drive to the ocean, but also close enough to LA to get most places within an hour or so. At Linda and Ron's place we could go twenty minutes one way to the Valley (Ventura Highway, the 101) & twenty minutes the other way to Pacific Coast Highway. We didn't need to rent a whole house--because we knew we'd be out a lot and not cooking, so didn't want to pay another hundred-plus dollars more for room and amenities we wouldn't use. The balcony was enough shared space for our crew, two dads and two teen daughters, and the openness of the valley view gave us more spaciousness. The mini-fridge was more than adequate so we could keep breakfast & lunch food and not eat out every meal. It was also pleasantly cool in July till late morning and in the evening, with the marine effect. If you have similar practical, tourist, and comfort considerations--and don't need to make a lot of noise (this is a section of someone's house, after all), you may really like this place. We did!

Beautiful, restful location and rooms comfortable with interesting art and supplies for the beach. The hosts are are gracious and helpful.

Linda and Ron were amazing hosts! They thought of every detail. Hope to visit again when coming to see our son . Thanks, Jim and Ann

Great place to stay in the mountains! Super clean and filled with great artwork, Linda was very communicative and gave us fresh coffee every morning to enjoy on the incredible balcony. Can't say enough good things, hope to stay again!

This home is in a beautiful, peaceful setting with gorgeous views. Our stay was wonderful, and Linda and Ron are kind and generous hosts.

We enjoyed the gracious hospitality, comfortable beds, the peace and quiet and awesome views from the deck. A++ , we highly recommend!! Linda was a wonderful host who went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and comfortable. Thanks for a memorable weekend!

Our stay in the guest wing of Linda's house was very pleasant and full of nature. Her place in Topanga is perfect if you want to get out of the city, enjoy the mountains, see stars, and listen to the sounds of morning birds and night frogs. While wi-fi is available, this is definitely a place to unplug and relax. However, there are also hundreds of movies to choose from during your stay if you want to watch something! The private patio is the perfect place to enjoy your morning tea or coffee, and the views are aptly represented in the listings pictures! There are some lovely cafes and restaurants just 2.5 miles south, and Waterlily Cafe is well worth stopping into for reasonably priced coffee, breakfast, or lunch. There is also easy access to Topanga State Park (3 miles south) and horseback riding (2 miles north) from Linda's place. We would be happy to stay here again, or recommend it to any of our friends and family.

I was totally surprised by the added fees to the reservation. Not clear in the booking process and one must budget at least 30-50% in added costs ☹️

My daughter and I had a wonderful stay in Topanga. Linda is a great host and lovely human being. We highly recommend!!

Very welcoming, clean and comfy beds. Would highly recommend.

Breathtaking! Wonderful, kind hosts who made us feel cared for with attention to detail and useful amenities above our expectations. Clear signage and notes helped us feel comfortable and aware of all offerings. Fresh coffee early in the morning was delicious and perfect for us because our young son gets up earlier than we wanted to make a run to the cafe. They thought of everything and the picture you see is what you get. Beautiful views and a peaceful environment. We couldn’t have been more pleased.

We had an excellent time up away in the Topanga hills. Linda and Pat have created a beautiful home with some of the finest furnishings I’ve ever enjoyed at a stay. Having the whole top floor to ourselves gave us privacy and gorgeous views. Their home is wonderfully secluded making for a scenic drive

The view off the balcony cannot be beat. The bedrooms and bath are an offshoot of a communal hallway which was a surprise, but the hosts did a wonderful job respecting our privacy.

We had a great time staying at Linda and Ron's beautiful home in Topanga! We drove down from NorCal for the weekend for a change of scenery and it was just perfect. Their home is lovely with beautiful art and the beds were very comfortable. My 2-year-old even slept well! Linda and Ron were very attentive hosts and provided us with coffee and water throughout our stay. I appreciated the notes around the rooms that helped us know where to find everything.

We really enjoyed our stay here in Topanga, it was so peaceful and the views were breath taking.

We had a wonderful stay in Linda and Ron's gorgeous home, with two bedrooms and a separate bathroom. Both rooms were so beautiful and well-appointed, we had a separate entrance, and the view was amazing! The beds were incredibly comfortable!! The rooms and bathroom were impeccably clean and spacious. So many thoughtful touches throughout. Really felt like our hosts thought of everything we could possibly need and were so kind and generous. Highly recommend staying here if you are in L.A.!

Very nice property, great views and a clean home. Very nice artwork to enjoy during our stay. Would go back again to stay at this lovely property in Topanga with Ron and Linda!

A beautiful property in a beautiful location with lovely hosts. The beds were comfortable, the bathroom spacious. The morning coffee/tea that was left for us was the cherry on top!
