Topanga Canyon Inn Bed and Breakfast - Topanga, California

Kimberly Renk

Pros:
- Pretty views
- Nicely appointed rooms, albeit dated
- Tasty breakfast

Cons:
- No signage for the bnb in an area with no cell service led to members of our party getting lost. Getting to reception area and knowing where to park were also confusing.
- Man who checked us in was very awkward and made us feel unwelcome.
- Members of our party did not sleep well due to creaky bed frames and bouncy mattresses.
- Generally didn’t get much of the warm, welcoming feel that is a highlight of staying at a bnb.

Loved this beautiful inn. The host family was kind and professional. Very easy to talk to. The room itself was lovely and clean though there were many spiders likely due to the heat outdoors. I appreciated how normal everything was. It wasn't uptight like a hotel. For example, in a hotel, the towels are heavily bleached and stiff. These towels were soft and neutral smelling. There were also so many little home-like details including the unique tiling and access to common areas to relax with other guests without the hustle and bustle of a hotel.

It was a paradise in LA!!!
The owner’s wife Elena was an amazing and talented person, who made everyone healthy and organic breakfast every day.
This house has a good vibe and if you like to enjoy the nature and relaxing under the birds singing, so welcome to Topanga Canyon inn bed and breakfast!!!!!

Wir waren für 4 Nächte im Topanga Canyon Inn untergebracht und waren an und für sich einigermassen zufrieden. Das Zimmer war sauber jedoch Fernseh schauen nur in den Gemeinschaftsräumen möglich. Die Zufahrt zum Hotel ist eine wahre Katastrophe. Die Strasse eng und mit Schlaglöchern übersät. Leider war die Hauptstraße 27 zum Teil gesperrt so dass wir nach Malibu die alte Strasse fahren sollten was eine noch größere Katastrophe war. Der Eingangsbereich zu den Zimmern sieht auch nicht gerade einladend aus. Thema Frühstück: es wird liebevoll zubereitet und hat auch geschmeckt. Jedoch fanden wir dass es, für uns zumindest, nicht angebracht ist dass sich der Gastgeber mit an den Tisch setzt und man ausgefragt wird. Man fühlt sich wie in einem Verhör. Als erstes interessiert den Gastgeber die politische Ansicht...

Reserved a Saturday overnight for our anniversary. This is about the only interesting place I could find within a few hundred miles find that doesn't require a two-night minimum on the weekend, and the only thing I could find resembling a hotel in Topanga. It's a charming & quirky place, but not quite what we expected. First off, it's further out than you might expect, a good 10 minute drive outside Topanga village, perched on a hillside practically inside the state park. You won't enjoy the cool lushness of Topanga Canyon here—it was probably in the 90s up there in the afternoon—and the views are of the state park, which is to say some rocky, scrubby hills which aren't the most attractive in July. To get there, you have to find your way up a narrow public road that turns into a very steep and poorly maintained private road. Parking is quite limited and tight. This is a true B&B, and you feel like you're staying in a bedroom in someone's private home, which it probably once was. The rooms are very clean and nicely decorated but somewhat dated. We liked the vintage furniture and all the paintings by the owner's wife, and appreciated the dozen roses in the room that I had prearranged. The staff are the owner's children. They were courteous enough, but our only interactions with them where when we checked in and came down for breakfast, which is served specifically at 8:30 and 9:30. The owner, Warren, cooked us a nice meal, but ignored my several requests for vegan options, so all I got was some melon and coffee. Warren is a fascinating and colorful guy, and my wife enjoyed chatting with him for a good long while. We enjoyed being able to walk up the driveway and hike into the state park, for which they provided maps. One surprise was that we were forced to sign an statement that use of any drugs on the property, including cannabis, entirely legal in CA, would result in us being evicted without refund. Overall, it was a pleasant enough place to spend a night, and my wife seemed to enjoy it, but it sorta felt like we were staying at the home of a distant relative and couldn't quite fully relax.

Fernab von dem Trubel und Verkehr der Großstadt ist hier ein herrliches Fleckchen um sich auszuruhen. Man fühlt sicher und gut aufgehoben. Das Frühstück wird morgens frisch zubereitet. Sehr lecker ?. Nette Menschen. Man sitzt mit anderen Gästen an einem Tisch, was wir sehr angenehm fanden um sich auszutauschen. Warren und Familie (einer seine Söhne) sind sehr hilfsbereit. Es hat uns sehr gut gefallen.
Falls wir wieder einmal nach L.A. kommen sollten, dann sicherlich hierher. Danke.

Beautiful place. A little of the beaten path but well worth it. It's part of the charm. Spacious common area with nice clean bedrooms. Definitely not a cookie cutter chain type place. Warren the owner is fascinating. This was unexpectedly a highlight of our trip.
