Topanga Oasis

Really wonderful spot in a magical part of Topanga! Trails just feet from the front door, nice secluded outdoor spot in front of cabin. David was responsive and kind. I'll be back!

We absolutely loved the property! The grounds are vast, magical, and green. Our friends rented several cabins which I’d highly recommend for big group. Check in was easy, our cabin was cozy clean, and stocked with coffee which was an unexpected plus.

Topanga Charm

I had the absolutely best time! It was so peaceful, at night all you could hear was crickets and frogs. Waking up in the trees was just beautiful. This place had everything you need! The bed was comfy and the place was cozy, true Topanga charm. The hiking trail was so lovely also. We had a sunset and morning hike. My dog enjoyed it too! Pup approved! I will most definitely be back, and recommending it to friends!

not the retreat I was hoping for

With pets ·

I had a pretty good time however it was incredibly hot and the windows in the cabin didn't work well. They had to be propped open because they wouldn't stay open on their own, or they were giant windows that could only be wide open or totally closed. As a solo female traveler I didn't love the idea of sleeping with a huge window on either side of my bed open. None of the windows had screens so there were tons of bugs but they absolutely had to be open. It was frustrating because I was hoping to relax at the site but because of the heat and lack of airflow options in the cabin (faulty windows and one fan that was fighting for it's life) I basically had to go elsewhere. I'm sure the place is lovely when the weather is cooler, and there is a big radiatior in the cabin for when it's cold, but if it is going to available to rent during the summer I would be great if they took a little time make the cabin more heat friendly.

I loved it

With pets ·

I had a wonderful retreat at the Japanese teahouse and plan to return. Everything was perfect, and I could sense the care that has gone into this amazing property, from the unique art to the decor and special items to the comfy bedding and linens. The outdoor kitchen is so relaxing. I saw a red tailed hawk, hummingbirds, butterflies, and an assortment of little creatures as I made my meals and spent quiet time on the deck with my dog. If you are chill and appreciate unique settings and nature, this is paradise.

Staying on David's property reminded me of what it was like to go to summer camp as a kid. There's probably about 10 different units on his compound that give it a sense of communal living (minus the mess hall). The heart of Topanga is well represented at the compound, from the proximity to nature to the eccentric artistic touches. Loved having a home base we could access hiking trails from and decompress with our pup.

A nice spot to land on our travels—great to be in the canyon. We ended up staying in the Dragonfly House, and the bath house that is part of it was amazing.

Japanese Teahouse

With pets ·

I really enjoyed my stay at this quaint little Hipcamp spot, Japanese Teahouse. The setting had a lot of charm and made for a peaceful, low-key escape. I was a bit concerned at first when I realized there was no hot plate as spaghetti night was on the menu, but we made it work just fine with the toaster oven, making foil trays for our grub. One of the highlights was the bathroom, it was excellent. Clean, well-maintained, and the hot water in the shower was a real treat after a long day. Overall, a lovely experience with just the right mix of rustic and comfortable. Would definitely recommend and would happily return! Thank you David

Cozy and perfect

My partner and I stayed for a long weekend and we absolutely loved our time here. This ranch stay was exactly what we wanted (and needed) and the rustic cabin was very comfortable. We can tell that a great community lives here and we definitely respect and want to support it. It was very quiet and we felt a lot of privacy. We hiked the trails on the property and had a magical experience seeing the cave and views. What a gem and we hope to stay here again!!

Perfect rustic getaway spot. The amenities were exactly as expected and the trails on the property were fantastic. We loved falling asleep to the sound of singing frogs in the creek. Our kids can’t wait to come back. Thank you.

Boho retreat

I arrived near dusk because of traffic and knew exactly where to find the Teahouse due to the glowing sign. The space is cosy and comfortable. I could hear the chorus of frogs in the creek loudly singing at night. My dog Shadow and I enjoyed hanging out on the kitchen porch - there's a kettle, a Keurig, a pizza oven and a microwave. I wanted to wander the property more in the morning, but the weather turned a bit. So I listened to the sounds of the rain on the porch cover and read in the comfortable bed instead.

Cozy retreat in Topanga!

Wonderland Cabin + Private Trails

This was a really lovely Hipcamp experience! I was traveling solo and wanted a cozy and comfortable place with creature comforts that also gave me the peaceful sense of being in nature, and this hit the nail on the head! The bed was really comfortable, and the vibe of the place was really nice, with the Japanese decorations and theme. I loved the outdoor kitchen. It had everything I needed, and it was so peaceful to sit on the porch, sip coffee and look out at the stream in front of the property. The oak trees around the property are beautiful and when the sun streams in in the morning through the branches, it is a really peaceful site with lots of natural sounds of birds. Even though the bathroom was outside of the house,, it felt very comfortable and I appreciated the hot water in the shower! I will definitely go back and I highly recommend this to others!

Magical li'l cabin in the woods!

To other Hipcampers, if you want to experience an entirely different feel of a cabin in the woods, (which to us from the outside looked like a 'Harry Potter' style magical place) then this one is for you. It has all the necessary amenities to make a couple comfortable, ( including maybe if you have a child below 12 years.) The inside of the cabin is a mix of weathered, rustic artistry in every nook and corner, that has been woven carefully into nature. We found it intriguingly perfect! We loved the bedroom with its many tiny windows through which warm sunlight streamed through the patterened chiffon curtains, and how we heard the sound of the rainfall outside early next morning. Just a note to anyone who is unable to climb, or unsteady on their feet for whatever reason...be mindful that the floor in the tiny living room area and a little way into the bathroom, is kinda 'cobble stone' uneven and you need to be careful while you walk on the areas that are exposed outside the carpet. Also, you need to climb up the ladder to your bedroom which is up in the loft. The bathroom with attached toilet is below the bedroom and so for those needing to use the restroom during the night, you will have to climb down the ladder to get to it. We were looking for a different experience and Wonderland Cabin at Topanga Oasis was it. I would say that having access to Wifi at the cabin, which doesn't need a password was a great thing. We were happy that there was no TV in the cabin.

One of a Kind Experience! Book it!!

One of the coolest places I have stayed, hands down! I reserved this as a getaway for a couple mom friends and I. The Teahouse is very easy to find when you follow the host's directions! The property is very quiet and peaceful. There are a TON of oak trees around, with lots of shade, but plenty of sun peeking through! I absolutely loved sitting in the kitchen/ back porch area, drinking tea and listening to the wind and birds. It was very cozy in the morning, the host provided 2 radiator heaters, which worked very well! The beds were extremely comfortable and warm! I didn't get a chance to venture out onto the trails this trip, I got an unexpected call from work and had to remain close to my laptop, but what I did get to experience was absolutely beautiful and so peaceful! There are other small houses scattered on the property, relatively close together, but the layout is so nice, each structure has their own privacy. The only thing I would warn is how cold the bathroom can be when the shower isn't running! I planned to take a bath in the evening, but it was WAY too cold for me to even consider it! Perhaps a braver soul would try it out, but I wasn't feeling it. Overall, extremely comfortable, private, and convenient. The property owner did a fantastic job allowing nature to really be felt while glamping in this Teahouse. Absolutely will be booking again!

Funky (in a good way) canyon

Love the funky southern California commune feel to the property. The canyon is really beautiful and the trails on the compound are nice casual hikes. There was a cold snap but the space heaters worked great and the outdoor kitchen area has everything you need.

Rustic cabin with portable heaters!

The property was very clean and well maintained. The tree house was located separately from other cabins with detached bathroom. As a female solo traveler with 2 dogs, I felt very safe and enjoyed my own privacy. I just didn’t expect that there was no gas stove, it took much longer to cook something in the electric pizza oven. Doggos had so much fun hiking off leash and also met a playful furry friend! We will be back! Thank you again for having us.

A Gem

I loved this stay! It was a perfectly elevated camping experience, cozy cabin with a charming outdoor space to relax, clean air, sounds of crickets and birds. The structures are definitely old (as stated in the listing) but nothing was lacking and the fresh fluffy towels were a nice surprise! This worked out perfectly for me as a little nature getaway in the middle of the work week, being able to go into the city for work and come back to the magical canyon afterwards. I hope to be back again soon!

What I was hoping for!

This rustic little cabin was everything I could have hoped for! The location was right off a main road and super easy to find, the road in and out of the grounds is bumpy so just take it slow. I wandered around the little trails behind the cabins and found my way to the cave - there were lots of outdoor places scattered around for folx to sit and read, nap, yoga, play guitar, or whatever. The people I ran into while there were chill and while there are quite a few cabins I didn't feel crowded at all. Also, Maggie is the groundskeeper and was an absolute delight to chat with, and her restaurant recommendations were spot-on. I hope to come back soon!
