Topanga Mountain Retreat - The Wonderland Cabin
This one-of-a-kind cottage looks like it's out of a fairy tale. It is a lovely mix of antique and modern, nestled in the middle of gorgeous oak trees. The bedroom is tucked away in the upstairs loft, providing a treehouse-feel. Brand new marble bathtub below and kitchenette. The free-standing private cabin is nestled between 2 private creeks and mountain trails - it is a true respite from the city.

Wonderland was wonderful. We loved the trickyness of walking on the cobblestone floor and the slight challenge of climbing the ladder to the loft. It was rugged, and had a certain witchy charm. Communication was great from the owner, and everything was easy peasy.

Really bad, left and stayed somewhere else. Dirty/dusty inside. Felt unsafe. Property was crowded with other rental units. Noisy too - chainsaws going right outside our window. No “trails” to walk on. No “creek.” Had a very creepy feel. Owner refused a refund, offered to return cleaning fee.

This eclectic little place is in a great spot amongst the trees and is unique. My interpretation as to why they call it the "wonderland" is because it is a hodgepodge with different flooring, different sized doors and windows and nothing matches...it is a little like Alice in Wonderland finding a secret room and to find it is a little bit of an adventure. So, be ready to be flexible, you may miss the turn off when you first drive by, you may drive by the cabin when you first go to check in and you may not receive any information before you head there on the day of your reservation.....so be ready to be ready to go with the flow and not on a strict timeline. Also, be ready to barely fit in the front door and to climb a ladder to your bed. If you have mobility issues, this property could be a challenge with its uneven surfaces and inconsistent materials. But, if you like the idea of being in nature, being in a superchill friendly place and want to try something different, this place is a great little adventure!

Very dusty
After an hour, we decided to leave and looked for another accommodation. The place was very dusty, lots of cobwebs, no sign of creek anywhere, beddings were old and not smelled clean, couches were dusty.
A quintessential, very rustic Topanga Canyon experience. You will become one with your inner flower child. The loft is like climbing a ladder into your own treehouse. Watch your head! (Not a suitable place for folks with any balance or agility issues). The eclectic building materials follow the ecologically appropriate theme of reduce, reuse and recycle. Many of the doors, window and lighting fixtures have stories to tell of a previous lives. Someone creative and resourceful had fun with the construction. Convenient and less than a mile to Inn of the 7th Ray and other Topanga favorites. A unique adventure! Namaste.
I had the perfect stay at the wonderland cabin! It was a peaceful, private, safe and rejuvenating space. The cabin is clean and well cared for. It was lovely to walk the trail and explore the creek space. I am grateful for whoever built the trail system. Looks like a lot of loving work went into it. I think the cabin would be even better with a hook or two on the wall by the door and a cup to place a toothbrush on the sink.
