She is excellent, super friendly, she opened her organic garden for me, I was able to pick fresh and organic tomatoes. The cabin is super comfortable, very clean, it has everything you need to cook and spend an excellent stay, the place is everything you dream of. At night you can hear owls. Together with my family, we have spent the dream vacation!

The best Airbnb ever! If you love 100% pure nature & wildlife and want your best rest, stay here! Hearing coyotes cry at Topanga State Park next to the property while watching the stars (we even saw a coyote on the street), falling into a deep sleep in the 1969 Airstream surrounded by the zen sounds of crickets and other animals, and waking up to amazing valley views—what more could you want? We didn’t see the mountain lion, though it had visited before. Trails start right next to the house, and it’s a close ride to the beaches of Santa Monica and Malibu, as well as Universal Studios and Beverly Hills. Dahabada's hospitality was amazing—aloe vera for sunburns and offering her board for surfing the nearby waves. Not to mention her dog, Rosebud, your instant best friend.

I had a wonderful time staying at Dahabada's place. The property is right next to great hiking trails in the lush green hills of Topanga. Coming back after a hike and taking an outdoor shower with a view is a favorite memory. I would recommend this place to lovers of the outdoors. Keep in mind that it’s a cabin, not a hotel room—you might encounter ants and spiders. It was very hot during my stay, so I was grateful for the AC unit. Thank you for an incredibly memorable two days and your hospitality, dear Dahabada! I will for sure come back.

Incredible location just outside of Topanga Park. Beautiful hiking trail steps from the home. Dahabada was friendly and helpful. This experience makes us want to move to Topanga!

If you are looking for a peaceful getaway with gorgeous mountain views and the perfect amount of California flora, then this cottage in Topanga Canyon is ideal. My young daughters and I needed a change from our usual Jersey Shore vacations, so we headed to California and stayed in Topanga. Dahabada is a Superhost! She checked in on us and offered tips on the best local spots. The cottage is quaint and perfect for decompressing—no noise except chirping birds and frogs at night. It’s high up with views from every window, always hot water for showers, good internet, and a cozy wood stove. My kids and I had a wonderful experience with Dahabada and her cottage!

This is the ultimate Topanga experience. A lovely 1940s cottage, perfectly appointed to capture the authentic feel of this magical place. Enveloped by trees, flowers, and greenery with mountain views from the bedroom windows. If you want the most authentic Topanga experience without sacrificing comfort, look no further.

The experience was magical. Being immersed in Topanga, you get the best of both worlds in LA. You’re in the mountains, literally two minutes from Topanga State Park, and a 12-minute drive from the beach. Dahabada is an amazing host, always responsive and genuinely cool. I will come back and strongly recommend this stay for anyone visiting LA.

Absolutely gorgeous location and surrounding property. We loved staying here! So well styled, and Dahabada was super friendly and attentive. Loved her sweet dog Rosebud and couldn't ask for a better location at the top of the hill in Topanga. We'll be back!

Perfect for a traveling couple, or even a single man like myself. I had the most delightful stay at this charming retreat. The hospitality was truly exceptional, and the beautiful garden environment was a tranquil oasis. Watching the sun set and dip into the valley between the Topanga mountain range was breathtaking. As night fell, the sky filled with endless stars, making for a magical atmosphere. The sounds of nature rocked me to sleep. My stay in the cute little nook was cozy and memorable. I can't wait to return to this slice of paradise.

This was one of, if not my very best Airbnb experience to date. The views in Topanga are incredible. You wake up to the mountains and sounds of nature, are right next to hiking trails, and are a stone's throw from the great restaurants in Topanga Canyon. Dahabada is a shining star—sweet, generous, and open. Coordinating was easy, and Dahabada was extremely responsive. I came away not only grateful for a wonderful stay but feeling like I have a faraway family and home in Topanga Canyon. Can't recommend highly enough!

In one word: Spectacular. In more than one word: So serene, yet so close to all the excitement of the greater L.A. area. Direct access to miles of hiking trails. Short drive to the beach. Dahabada is the definition of a "super host." Almost immediate response to any issue, with results to match. I can't say enough good things about this place. 100% rating is truly sincere. I would absolutely stay at this place again.
