About this property

Crystal Cabin☀️Topanga Restored Vintage Lodge

Nestled in the hills of Topanga State Park, this magical cabin is the perfect escape. Originally used at the turn of the last century as a lodge, the cabin offers a cozy charm with modern, inviting decor and energy. The perfect spot for a romantic weekend or a writers retreat.
The cabin backs up to the park, and is a jumping off point to endless hikes and stunning views of the canyon and the Pacific Ocean, which is just a ten minute drive down the hill.
This is a much loved home away from home.

This original Topanga cabin has been reimagined to welcome you in to a truly special retreat. Much love has gone in to all of the details, and we hope you find it the ideal getaway.

**Please note at the moment the lower section of Topanga Canyon Blvd is blocked and there is no direct access from PCH driving north on Topanga Canyon Blvd to the house. There are 3 routes still available to reach our property:
1. From the 101 driving south onto Topanga Canyon Blvd
2. From PCH you can go north on Los Flores Canyon Blvd to where it meets up with Topanga Canyon Blvd
3. (Only from our house to PCH) Take Topanga Canyon Blvd south to Tuna Canyon Rd to PCH

Enjoy a cozy studio unit newly remodeled and furnished as of 2019. Please note, this cabin and the surrounding outdoor area is surrounded by fencing, but there are 2 other cabins on the property.

Enjoy the full kitchen with everything you need to cook at home. Bar seating for two at the kitchen counter plus a cozy corner nook with custom bench seating. Or enjoy the yard or patio under the oak trees with views of the Topanga hillside.

Guests have private access to all spaces shown in the photos. The Crystal Cabin is enclosed by a fence, so the outdoor seating, hammock, front of the building, and all indoor spaces are exclusively for you. The washer/dryer is shared with the "Chime House" next door.

Our manager Sara is always available for any questions, and eager to provide the best stay possible.

Topanga is perfectly located just far enough outside of LA to feel like you're in a different world than the bustling city, but close enough that you can drive to Santa Monica in twenty minutes, or Universal Studios in under thirty minutes.
The house is just off of the main road, so a quick trip to any of the charming coffee shops and breakfast/lunch/dinner spots nearby, as well as the town center. And if you don't want to leave because you're so cozy, you can now even order delivery from Postmates.
The beach is just down the hill, and is a surfer's destination, so if that's your thing, this is a great spot.
And of course, the miles and miles of hikes just out the back door make this spot an ideal destination for the adventurous.

Long Weekend in Crystal Cabin

We loved our stay - close to a lot of things but tucked up on the hill for enjoying solitude as well. The cabin is well stocked, clean, and cozy. I enjoyed some afternoons on the hammock. Highly recommend and hope we get a chance to come back. Thank you!

Perfect retreat space

Had a wonderful stay at Crystal Cabin. Space is beautifully restored, retaining all of the best features from the original while adding modern updates. Tastefully decorated with a very spacious kitchen and bathroom, both stocked with most everything you could need, such as fair trade coffee beans and eco-friendly lotions. The bed is extremely comfortable, wi-fi is strong (despite being in the mountains), and the property offers two parking spaces. The other cabins on the property are beautiful, but you also feel like you have your own private area since the cabin is fenced in with gorgeous vegetation. I really enjoyed relaxing on the hammock, looking up at the majestic trees surrounding the cabin. Sara, the property manager, is wonderful. She provided excellent directions, including a heads up about the steep driveway. She was very responsive and even offered a great recommendation for sunset viewing areas. The location is perfect, very close to the beach. The main entrance to Topanga State Park is just down the road, or you can hike up behind the cabin if you like. Would definitely stay here again!
