Great location, charming and private!

Loved our stay at this quaint hide-away in the hills! The canyon is peaceful, yet minutes from Hollywood. We even had the pleasure of being met by a deer resting in the front yard one day. The mini casita was very comfortable, providing everything we needed to get a good night of rest after a full day of touring in LA. We will definitely consider staying here again!

Gorgeous setting, nice ambiance. Beware the stairs, they are a challenge!

Beautiful view, plenty of outdoor charm. Lots of trees and a nice outdoor area with 2 chaise lounges. (Hope it doesn't rain during your visit, because there is no comfortable chair anywhere else.) There is no grill for a reason; the dry grass hillside is a tinder keg. One stray spark and boom! Instant conflagration. Give up smoking while here! The deck is not well-maintained, badly needs some repair & paint to cover the plentiful grease stains. It's so unfortunate that the indoors doesn't really match the beauty of the outdoors. There IS a firm king size bed, air conditioner, useful microwave and coffee maker, but that's about it as far as creature comforts go. The towels are quite nice, but the old and worn bed linens, pillows and pillowcases belong at Goodwill. What serves as "kitchenette" is an old sideboard (door hanging by just one hinge) that has a small bar sink and a faucet that doesn't work much -- no cold water at all, only a trickle of warm. Dishes must be washed in the bathroom sink, where there is some warm water. The "kitchenette" is poorly equipped, not even a salad bowl. Microwave and take-out meals are your best bet. Sweep up your crumbs, keep the garbage can covered. There are lots of ants in the wall above the sink. They visit often. No ant traps anywhere. There is a small bistro table with 2 very uncomfortable metal straight-back chairs, so tiny it's not very useful. The bathroom floor was really dirty. Don't go barefoot! The miniature tub/shower combo is a bit of a joke. Shower curtains are way too long, caked at the bottom with soap and mildew, tub is cracked, leaks onto floor. Difficult to not be standing on them when you shower. High ICK factor. The walls are dingy, who knows when the windows were last washed. But the beauty of the canyon itself will probably offset any shortcomings in your memory. The owner has other Laurel Canyon homes for rent; but it at least appears that she has not been to this one in quite a while; it appears poorly maintained, it's not shabby-chic, just shabby. Parking space is big enough for a compact, nothing larger, the road up is narrow and winding. The 55 uneven steps are a challenge, strong back and knees and good balance required. Have a flashlight; steps are not lighted at night, be very careful. (We were told "sorry, the lights washed out in the spring rains". It hasn't rained there in months, plenty of time to have long since have had them repaired, it seems.)

Lovely place!

Such a lovely little getaway from the hustle and bustle of the city! We can't wait to make a return trip and take in all of Laurel Canyon. The casita was perfect, had all the amenities anyone could need. The owner was out-of-this-world helpful, from lending us beach towels from her own private stash, to recommending the PERFECT place for a romantic dinner (Pace, down the hill by the Canyon Country Market). She was quick to respond to anything we needed - which took every bit of stress out of the trip. The street up to the casita is STEEP and full of hairpin turns. While it's easy to find, you do need to be a bit of a confident driver. The description of the location of the property (from the owner) is spot on - when she says there's a parking space next to the steps, it is there! The amenities are just as described - coffee maker, fridge/freezer combo, microwave, toaster. There's even a hairdryer and little shampoo/conditioner bottles - just like a hotel! Being from the Midwest, I am used to being able to walk most places, but Laurel Canyon is NOT made for walking. There is plenty of hiking available (you have to drive to get to the starting point), but be prepared to drive/Uber everywhere from the casita. There is no "oops, I forgot to pick up milk - I'll just walk down to the market and pick some up". If you need a big shopping trip, there are options minutes away in Hollywood. But if you need to just pick up an item or two, do NOT miss Canyon Country Market. Simply an adorable corner store - with such an incredible vibe. They have great coffee, served out front in the morning - enjoy it while watching the world pass by. And if you love Italian food - do NOT miss out on Pace. Right around the building from the Market - downstairs in what feels like a little cellar. The atmosphere is magical and the food was delish! Many thanks to the owner for such a great experience. We WILL be back - hopefully sooner, rather than later!

AWESOME spot!

I was a little skeptical because I've never stayed in a house before. I usually stay in hotels. This house is wonderful. It reminded me of staying in a resort somewhere. I like that it is far away from everything, but it's still easy to get places. We had a deer in the yard!!!!! Probably won't stay in hotels again in LA because this place is too cute. I'll be back!!!!

Cozy getaway among the treetops

The mini casita in Laurel Canyon/Hollywood Hills was so cute and cozy. While the stairs up aren't for the weak of heart, the accommodations are comfortable and quaint. Its location is very convenient for all we wanted to do during our stay and the neighborhood is peaceful with great views. The owner provided detailed information about everything we needed to know and provided great customer service. It was so much better than staying at a hotel and was a great value!

Very Tranquil Setting, Near so much!

Both the main house and the casita are quite lovely and the setting off of Laurel Canyon is very tranquil. The decks are probably the most fabulous parts of the home. The location is great for the true Hollywood experience, as well as traveling to studios and Beverly Hills. If you are daily beach people, this would be a long commute, only due to the volume of traffic. I really only have two "warnings", if you want to call them that. The road to the home is extremely windy and very narrow, but we did get used to that. It was just a little shocking at first. The other warning is that this is not the place for you if you are elderly, handicapped or in bad shape. My family didn't have a problem with the 75 (yes, 75!) stairs from where you park up to the house. It was almost like staying in a tree house, which we loved, but some may be surprised by the "hike". Kristie was very friendly and easy to get in touch with if we needed her. I would recommend this house/experience to most people, with the exceptions being aforementioned.

Great getaway place in the Hollywood Hills!

We had a wonderful stay in the Casita! The Casita was very nicely furnished with a extremely comfortable king bed and well equipped bathroom. It was a very relaxing setting up on the side of the hill in Laurel Canyon. We felt invigorated every time we made the climb up and down the beautiful winding stairs. If you are looking for a tranquil hillside hideaway, this is the place!

Enchanted location, casual elegance -- a gem!

The main house and casita are just beautiful, tastefully furnished, immaculate and beautifully landscaped in a stunning canyon location. It is intimate and quiet, but just minutes to all that Sunset Strip, Studio City and all major Hollywood, Bel Air and Malibu highlights. You'll feel steeped in Laurel Canyon history from your perch looking at the ridge line of Mount Olympus and its stunning mansions. Our best memories were watching the sun set over the hills from the gorgeous porch, and seeing the LA skyline at night as the moon came over the canyon ridge. Kristie is a gracious host and attentive to the little things that make for a great stay. We're sure you'll enjoy it as much as our family did!

Instantly Relaxed

The second I walked in I forgot about my to-do list. The view was beautiful, and sitting on the deck watching nature was so peaceful. The bed was very comfortable and everything looked clean and new. I will be back for my "Mom Break" again very soon. :)

Absolutely beautiful!

What a beautiful place! I love staying in the Hollywood hills. Stayed there once before but this time the family and I have to agree that it was our best pick for housing. I would definitely stay here again in the future!

About the host

Hosted by Kristie Holmes

I bought my first home in this neighborhood in 2001 and have been at it ever since. It took years in Los Angeles to find my 'perfect' place that kept us in the city, but away from it all.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love at first sight. Open house was packed, and no one stayed less than an hour. We competed with four other offers and eventually won out.

What makes this property unique

Views, views, above the City of Angels. The price on this Mini Casita bets even the most obnoxiously priced hotels in the neighborhood by more than half- sometimes 70%. Plus you don't pay additional for a designated parking space.
