Japanese Tea House with Private Mountain Trails and Creek

Absolutely completely wonderful

10.0

An absolutely wonderful place to stay. This is not a 5 star hotel but it’s not claiming that. It’s a really fantastic rustic cabin in the woods where you’ll lie in bed at night trying to work up the courage to visit the outside toilet. It’s not far from town but it feels remote, no TV means you might talk to your family. Lovely outside kitchen area and lovely inside. It’s rustic, it’s not a hotel and we loved it. Wished we had more time.

− It was just perfect. The outside toilet was a highlight and my wife waking me at 3am to go with her as she was scared there might be a wandering bear!

An experience but not comfortable nor pleasant for us during cold and rainy weather

4.0

Location, quiet, coffee and tea provided, oven available

− old, smelly, spiderwebs, quite dirty, cold, not well insulated and all the sounds are spreading from upstairs to downstairs (each step and movement on the bed, whispers), old beds, smelly towels, generally not well maintained and smelly

Limited options in Topanga. Great location but lacking some comfort & amenities.

6.0

Great location in Topanga. Very rustic & charming with a nice kitchenette and deck to eat on. My kids loved the rope swing. The dog was happy. Easy directions to find the place.

− The lighting upstairs was very dim. A flashlight would have been helpful to go to the bathroom at night. Shower soap would also have been useful. The mattress upstairs is creaky/old. The visible spray foam insulation everywhere is unpleasant.

C est un belle endroit , avec un peu plus de travaille cela pourrais plus agreeable

− Propreter est a reviser interrieur de l armoire salle Bain tres sale, rideau de douche piquer de moissisure, four rouiller a l interrieur , lit a l etage craque a peine tu bouge , on dirais plus une cabane pour sdf que une Japanese tea house . Ustensile pour cuisiner mais pas de taque pour cuisiner

The only reason not a 10 for us is bathroom is outside, and not a full stove. We will be back!

If you like the outdoors and a rustic setting, this is perfect . It's a peaceful cabin in the trees, lots of shade. The view from the balcony and bedroom are like you are in a tree house. It has a fridge/freezer, microwave, coffee maker with tea and coffee pods, a single small hotplate, and a toaster oven. There are dishes and a sink, sugar and powdered creamer. It has a small space heater and small a/c unit. We brought a small extension cord that we found very useful. A book, games or a craft is recommended as there is no t.v. There are trails that have an overlook and a small cave. 8 different rentals on the property so something for everyone. They have wifi if you want to stream a movie, however we didn't try it out. If you walk up the dirt road you will see the property's other rentals and trails.

− This unit did not have a full stove but some of the other units do. The upstairs room is difficult for adults, you have to crawl in and out but it's perfect for kids. The bathroom is outside so bring a flashlight and slip on shoes for night bathroom trips. You will also need shampoo and soap for the tub/shower but there are towels, washcloths and soap for the sink.
