A Candy Apple Vintage Trailer with Mountain Views
Nestled into our favorite canyon setting, this unique vacation home rental in Topanga, California, is enchanting, peaceful and immersed in nature. A charming vintage trailer surrounded in outdoor living areas, it's part of a larger estate called the Mountain Mermaid, which is made up of a large, storied villa, and several smaller dwellings.
Anchored by a charming candy-colored vintage trailer in apple red, the little compound is a loosely assembled setting of living areas nestled under the oaks.
“I happened upon the tiny vintage travel trailer at the Rose Bowl Flea Market," owner Bill told us, when we asked him where it came from. "I had no idea I would buy a trailer that day. But everybody who saw it just started squealing. The cuteness factor was through the roof. I impulsively grabbed it, and I’m really glad I did. We parked it under a tree and put a fence around it, and it kept evolving from there. I created a series of outdoor rooms around it, using colors appropriate for the 1950s. I love the concept of outdoor rooms.” (For more from Bill about his delightfully unusual property, visit our Stories section here.)
The vintage trailer sleeps two, and the series of outdoor rooms contain a king-sized bed, a lounge, dining areas, a kitchenette, and a two-person tub with shower. There’s also a restored vintage outhouse.
The grounds are peaceful, private and surrounded by wild cultivated gardens where you’ll want to hang out and enjoy the sights and sounds of the canyon, plus – if you time it just right – the butterflies that pass through Bill's native garden each year.
Located in a quiet and private neighborhood surrounded by thousands of acres of the beautiful Santa Monica Mountains, this is an intimate hideaway that immerses you in the great outdoors. Four other properties on the same site are also available for rent through BoutiqueHomes: the Rainbow Studio, the Blue Bungalow, the Topanga Treehouse, and The Mountain Mermaid.
AROUND
