We’re family. We’re collaborators. We’re dreamers. We love the simple life. We live together in a family compound in the hippie enclave of Topanga in the Santa Monica Mountains where we live by the Danish concept of hygge. Hygge (pronounced hoo-ga) means cozy contentment and well-being, or the art of creating intimacy in solitude, in togetherness, and in your environment. For us, hygge is embracing the simple things that bring joy to our lives, from the boisterous, like hosting gourmet family dinners at our compound or impromptu jam sessions and karaoke nights in our living room, to the quiet, like curling up in a favorite nook with a cup of coffee and a book or taking long walks in the mountains. Our dream is to create spaces that help others find hygge in their lives, by finding joy in the present and well-being in balance. Our spaces aim to bring people together and provide solitude, to encourage indulgence and simplicity, to inspire creativity and provide rest. Grace is a musician, a gourmet cook, a trekker, a film finance executive, has an eye for design and loves creating spaces that mix nordic design with one-of-a-kind, vintage touches. Zach is a backpacker, a woodworker, an engineer, a real estate lawyer, sings like Marc Cohn and has a knack for building things with his hands. Michelle is a social entrepreneur, a nature lover, a storyteller, a pianist, and an inspirer of dreams. We hope we get to share our space and our hygge with you! ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub - Private pool ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Hob - Kitchen island - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer ### Living spaces - Dining table ### Entertainment - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair - Office ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In the mountains ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden - Unit size: 1,932 square feet ## Policies ### Check-in Check-in time starts at 4:00 PM Contactless check-in and check-out are available Minimum check-in age - 18 ### Check-out Check-out before 11:00 AM ### Special check-in instructions An adult aged 18 or older must assume all liability for the booking You will receive an email from the host with check-in and check-out instructions ### Rules Authorized early check-in and late check-out are available at $50 per hour Any unauthorized late check-out beyond the 15-minute grace period will incur a $100 fee Items left behind will incur a minimum return shipping fee of $50, depending on the shipping address ### Pets Pets are allowed Service animals are welcome, and are exempt from fees ### Children and extra beds Children are welcome ### Events No events allowed ### Smoking Smoking is not permitted ## Important information ### You need to know This property is managed by a professional host.
