Outdoor Clawfoot, Hot Tub, Deck - The Farmhouse | House in Topanga
1 Bedroom House in Fernwood, Topanga
Welcome to the Farmhouse, a cozy studio retreat nestled in the Topanga hills. This inviting space features a comfy queen canopy bed, en-suite bath, and a kitchenette for light meals.
The room opens onto a private deck and patio, perfect for waking up with the singing birds, and an outdoor clawfoot tub for a relaxing soak under the trees.
Enjoy easy access to local attractions including cafes and restaurants, village shops, hiking trails with breathtaking views, and Malibu beaches.l
The property has three different spaces, the main house where I live that you will see upon entering the gate and going down the front steps. At the bottom of the stairs, you will pass the front door and continue on to the pathway to the left that leads out to the hot tub deck and a breathtaking view.
Down the stairs to the left from there is the Zen Den, a room that is rented separately (zendentopanga dot com). There is a good chance there are other guests staying there so please allow them privacy if they are in the room.
The Farmhouse is a guesthouse further down in the garden at the bottom of the property and detached from the main house. The guesthouse has its own separate patio and deck space which is private to this room, but visible from The Zen Den's space. The clawfoot tub is around the corner of the Farmhouse and provides more privacy as it is not visible from the rest of the yard.
Since there is another room on the property, there is always the possibility that there will be a cleaner, gardener, me, or other maintenance person in the yard, laundry room, or other areas in the yard during the day but this will usually be kept between 11am and 4pm and always minimized as much as possible.
Full access to the guesthouse, private kitchenette and full private bathroom. The deck and small patio outside the Farmhouse is for your exclusive use, as is the clawfoot bathtub.
The rest of the backyard, including the hot tub, is considered shared and the other room and its patio are in close proximity so total privacy in the garden should not be expected.
The hot tub is free to use on a first come first served basis, but is not used frequently so I have not implemented any kind of reservation system for private time or had any conflicts over it's use. Please note that it is in an open area that is also a walk way down to both rooms and visible from my home, so other people could walk by at any time when they are around or going to their room.
I am available by phone and usually close by living on the property. If I am home upon your arrival, I would be happy to welcome you and show you the space, but you can also let yourself in and familiarize yourself with the space on your own if you prefer.

The best way to get here and get around while you are here is to have your own car. There is street parking around the property detailed in the house manual and getting here documents.
It is about a 15 minute ride down to Malibu and the rest of West LA by the PCH, and about 20 minutes to go the other way to the San Fernando Valley and the rest of LA by the 101 freeway.
It is possible to take an Uber or Lyft but it can often be hard to get a car because there aren't always drivers in the canyon and sometimes they are hesitant to come up this way. Expect it to take longer than usual to get a ride to pick you up.
