Nature / Hiking

Beautiful views, close to hiking trails. It’s a bit of drive on a long and winding road but the views along the way are gorgeous.

Restaway

We had a lovely stay at Caroline's mountain getaway. Everything was up to date, clean and quietly stylish. Took a beautiful, long fresh air stroll in the hills. We loved it all!

Exactly what we needed!

This property has everything we hoped for. A beautiful view and lots for the kids to do and explore. They hardly watch TV or played on their devices the whole time we were there. The host was communicative, friendly, and welcoming. We will definitely return to this gem for another family vacation.

Perfect Meditation Weekend Retreat

This location offers stunning views and is only a short drive from some of the most scenic hikes in the area where you get to enjoy not only the flora of the area but get to see the ocean from above sea level as well. The host was very communicative and really puts a lot of intention into curating a welcoming experience providing fresh fruit, baked goods, and fresh flowers. It's a wonderful space to wake up and meditate to the sounds of chirping birds and to be surrounded by a canyon making the experience feel very private. This might be my new favorite weekend staycation solo re-set retreat location.

Just what we needed

Another perfect stay at this magical place. We relaxed, took in nature, ate smores by the fire, and battled in some intense ping pong games. Our hosts Catherine and Robert made us feel right at home. We were treated to freshly baked scones with jam on our arrival which was a nice treat. Yum!

Lovely stay, beautiful spot

We enjoyed our stay at the top of Saddlepeak! Having lived in Topanga Canyon years ago, it felt like coming home. This cute, dog-friendly rental has beautiful distant valley views and is a short drive to our favorite Tuna Cyn hiking trail, where we walked our Lab every morning. It’s also close to the shops and restaurants in the canyon. Caroline was a lovely host. Recommend!

Beautiful location

We stayed here while attending a conference at Pepperdine, which is about a 25-minute drive away. This was a perfect lace to recover after action-packed days on campus. And this is much better than the big city for me. Beautiful views of city lights in the Valley, and lots of thoughtful touches from our gracious host. Will be back.

Amazing option when staying in L.A.

We don't particularly love L.A. but this property is an awesome respite from the L.A. chaos when visiting the area. Caroline was a lovely host and made delicious scones that were ready for us when we arrived. Great location, quiet and beautiful view. Would definitely stay again.

Even better than I expected

The space is beautifully decorated with thought and love. There is everything you could possibly want in the home. It felt like I was staying as someone’s guest who they wanted to make sure they felt special and cared for. From the fresh flowers to the homemade scones upon arrival, this was a place you didn’t want to leave. And the views were spectacular.

Lovely, homey space with artistic personality and great backyard view!

Perfect place and helpful host for an indoor weekend getaway! My friends and I were looking for a comfortable place, surrounded by nature and this was the one. The view of the city hills and canyons was my favorite part. There's a mini path that circles around the hills and trees; we explored around and got to soak in the view in every angle. The swings and hammocks were perfect for bird-watching and the fire pit was super relaxing at night. We were also delighted by all the art books, paintings, and decor, it made our stay feel homey with personality. Caroline was a great host, helping us navigate throughout the area and the amenities. Sweet weekend!

An amazing stay at this home. Caroline is the best host we have experienced in many home rentals (the world over). The home was well stocked w/every amenity you could possible want. The pictures do not do the property justice, views are even better in person and you feel a true peace while there. A perfect place to stay if you want to experience Topanga Canyon, Malibu, Calabasas areas. We strongly recommend this one!
