THE Zen Treehouse Retreat- Great Views and Peaceful Decks!

Our 1926 cottage is a secret Zen retreat! It is nestled in the hills below Topanga and surrounded by sounds of nature & lovely views. Every guest seems to find a spot to fall in love with! Retreat offers a spacious cafe style lit deck with amazing views, succulent garden, gorgeous deck off main suite w/ vast views, a calming study to read in & a tranquil meditation style loft. The newly renovated kitchen creates an amazing culinary experience. Steps away from hiking trails & minutes from PCH.

Natural light filled rooms inspire our guests to open the windows, turn on music and be in the moment. Fabulous windows throughout the cottage create such a perfect energy.

Three bedrooms all with a Zen vibe, a peaceful study & office space, cozy living room and chefs kitchen are what make up your unique stay at the cottage. It is a space of respite, calm, reset and sweet reminders of being in the moment.

Make yourself a morning coffee at the cafe bar, enjoy the sounds of birds chirping on the deck and head out to start your day off right. Whether its hiking, biking, going to the beach, shopping, eating some of the best food, or relaxing... it is all just minutes from the treehouse.

Our little cottage is the recipe for a perfect start to the day. The treehouse is centrally located to amazing restaurants, boutique shopping, endless hiking trails and beaches.

Upon your return to the treehouse, the decks are the perfect place to enjoy golden hour with your loved ones. Sip on a glass of wine, under the cafe lights, as the breeze fills the air and good conversation fills your soul. Evenings under the stars become the most memorable ones.

Just wow.

This is our second stay at the Zen Treehouse. I actually don't want to write this review, because I want to book this spot for every time I visit L.A.. AJ has thought of literally everything to make the stay easy and relaxing--- including the kitchen being fully stocked. What else can I say... the furniture is plush, the outdoor spots are bathed in sun, with birds chirping, and beautiful views. She was warm and responsive when I called with questions. Relax and enjoy!

Everything was perfect. Perfect host, excellent communication, great home and location. A bonus for us was a dirt road above the house that extended through the hills with exceptional views of the cities below and the mountains. Thank you, AJ!

Charm and Relaxation

This August, my family stayed for about a week at AJ's Zen Treehouse Retreat. It was ridiculously charming and full of small touches that made it easy to enjoy ourselves. Stocked with every kitchen gadget you can imagine, a sweet gift bag, and a gorgeous deck, we spent time reading, taking in the views, and exploring the area. Highly recommended.

Family Birthday Celebration

This was a wonderful home to celebrate our family birthdays and spend time together! The kitchen was amazing along with a great grill. We cooked many meals and enjoyed the outdoor and indoor atmosphere! The decor was fresh, relaxing, comfortable and beautiful. We felt like we were truly in a treehouse!

Treehouse Retreat

This home is a serene retreat with all the comfort and amenities needed for a weekend or longer stay. The windows and natural light are wonderful for viewing wildlife; and decks and terraces beckon you to linger with morning coffee, or late afternoon cocktail. For those coming from out of the area, the hillside canyon neighborhood is peaceful and quiet (no traffic noise). Perfect location to stay if you plan to explore Topanga Canyon or head over to Malibu.

Fabulous retreat in the trees

Our family of four had a terrific half-week stay in the Treehouse. Such a great location: within striking distance of conveniences but feels like a world away from the valley and LA suburbia that's just a few miles from the property. Beautiful design aesthetic and wonderful touches all around the house and property! Very much appreciated the fast and helpful communication with AJ throughout our stay.

Peaceful experience

From the moment you step up into the garden, you are literally transformed. The place is incredibly clean, incredibly peaceful and all your needs are carefully thought out. We had a great experience for the few days that were there. Plus, awesome water pressure, a bidet, wonderful art and an all around calming and relaxing atmosphere.

Perfect California Hide-Away

We stayed here for 5 nights on a mother-daughter trip to LA and absolutely loved it. Beautifully decorated, just as pictures show. Multiple outdoor sitting spaces to enjoy the California weather with a book or with a glass of wine and conversation. AJ was super responsive and very welcoming. Zero complaints - would absolutely stay here on next trip to LA.

This place is magical! The vibe of the entire property is lovely, bright and uplitfing. There is such wonderful attention to detail and use of space, which makes the energy flow so well that it feels good anywhere you choose to enjoy a moment.

Treehouse a cycling paradise

Clean, very well equipped house. It has everything you need! Appliances, furniture, kitchen all top line and new. Loved sitting out on the deck. Definitely some stairs getting to the house but worth it for the views and calming nature of the area. Owner very responsive. Beautiful area to explore.
