Cabin in the Sky

We are in the lovely Fernwood area of Topanga that is near the coast and Tuna Canyon State Park. Red Rock Park and Topanga Canyon State Park are just a short drive away, as is the Topanga town center. Our favorite parks to go hiking in Topanga Canyon are Red Rock Park, Topanga Canyon Park, and Tuna Canyon Park. Nearby are El Matador Beach, Leo Carrillo Beach, Malibu Beach, Point Dume Beach, Topanga Beach, Paradise Cove, Santa Monica Beach, Ocean Park, and Venice Beach. Culturally in Topanga there's Corazon for live music, and the Will Greer Theatre Botanicum, as well as a series of festivals! Wonderful excursions include Catalina Island, Santa Cruz Island, Griffith Park, the Watts Towers, Grand Central Market, and the Arts District. For shopping, in Topanga there's Hidden Treasures, Topanga Art Tile, and a series of shops in the town center. There's a lot more in Santa Monica, Malibu, Beverly Hills, Venice Beach, Downtown LA, and the rest of LA. A lovely cafe that is a 5 minute drive is Cafe Mimosa - their pistachio croissants are remarkable and sell out early! We also like Topanga Living Cafe and Topanga Table. Restaurants include Cholada's, the Canyon Bistro, the Reel Inn, the Inn at the Seventh Ray with organic dining, Malibu Farm Pier Cafe, Nobu's, and Gjelina. There's wine tasting nearby at the Rosenthal Wine Bar and Patio. Book massages in the canyon or have a masseuse come to you at the house. Grocery stores nearby include Von's and Gelsons, the Topanga Canyon General Store, and the Canyon Gourmet. Further away is Whole Foods, Ralph's, Trader Joes, and Costco.
