About this property

Rustic 1930's Lodge in the Heart of Silver Lake!

Welcome and experience this rustic 1930's Era lodge with classic clinker-brick fireplace. Set in the hills of Silver Lake in a quiet neighborhood. It is an exquisite architecturally historic property with a special intimate feeling. Surrounded by windows yet completely private. Mahogany floors, wood walls, and open beam wood ceiling. Separate eat-in kitchen & full bath. The private yard has Al Fresco dining for 4 and plenty of space. Just a couple blocks N of Sunset Blvd. w/ cafe's, shops, & farmers market. The Lodge exudes the feeling of staying in a Forest Retreat. It is a very rare find in the city.

Beautiful and Serene

This studio is beautifully appointed and quiet. It makes for a very comfortable and peaceful stay. It is in a great location and is easy to get to downtown, Dodger Stadium or the beach.

Mountain hideaway in the city

This wonderful studio apartment is like a chalet in Los Angeles -- all wood inside, with high ceilings and a big stone fireplace. Nestled in the heart of Silver Lake, a very convenient location with restaurants, coffee shops, and stores minutes away, it nonetheless makes you feel like you are coming home to a quiet hideaway in the Alps. We really enjoyed staying here!

Idyllic Stay in Silver Lake!

The Lodge is wonderful and charming! So much thoughtful care has gone into its furnishings—comfortable bed, well-equipped kitchen, great bathroom, and a fantastic picnic table. Though you are only a few blocks from Sunset Boulevard, once back in the peaceful lodge you forget that you are in a busy, metropolitan city. We loved it there and slept very well!

Cozy and romantic while still great for hosting small family dinners

The property was exactly as described and we found it just as charming as we had hoped. The location was convenient and it was great that we could walk to a small grocery just five minutes or so away. It was cozy and sweet for our 28th wedding anniversary but dining areas (kitchen and patio) seated four, so we were about to host our two sons for meals. The patio was our favorite spot - kudos to the gardener. Thanks for everything - we loved our stay!

Lodge in Silver Lake

A lot of character to this place. Very hidden amongst the foliage from the street and quiet. The Al Fresco dining/relaxing area was quite nice. It's an easy walk down to the commercial area (several blocks), but quite steep coming back. No issue with street parking. Kitchen very Clean.

Charming & Comfortable!

We absolutely loved staying at The Lodge! The home is nestled in a quiet neighborhood just outside of LA and is surrounded by beautiful trees and plants. Although it may seem small, it definitely does not feel that way due to the layout of the home. The Lodge is super comfortable and has a really charming feel to it. Our favorite part was the backyard with the private patio and table! There is another home on the same property as the Lodge, but we were definitely secluded and had our privacy. Gisele was super kind and accommodating. She was responsive and provided us with all of the information we needed. I would definitely recommend The Lodge to anyone traveling in the LA area!

Charming rustic fully-equipped 1930s lodge in quiet Silver Lake location

We had stayed in the adjacent "Chateau" last year and wanted to return for a 10-day holiday. As the Chateau wasn't available for the first 3 days, we booked into the Lodge. It's smaller, with a completely different atmosphere, but still very enjoyable and up to Gisele's usual high standard.

Homey and Cozy and Perfect!

We had the most wonderful time staying at The Lodge for a week while we apartment-hunted for our own place in LA. The cottage was super homey and cozy, and our dog absolutely loved the little garden and patio. Everything we could need was thought of -- from toiletries to coffee. And the location is perfect, tucked away up in the Silver Lake hills, with easy street parking. The location is also walking distance to plenty of great food options and cute stores. Our host was communicative and welcoming. In short, it was a dream. We'll be recommending The Lodge to visiting family and friends in the future for sure!

Cute place to stay for a weekend!

We loved staying at the Lodge. It was equipped with everything we needed for a long weekend. Walking distance to downtown Silver Lake. The one con was walking back up those hills :) . Great little studio to stay in. Highly reccomend!

Cozy Bungalow With Drawbacks

This property is in a great neighborhood, close to good restaurants and easy access to the city of LA. The bungalow is a bit too cozy and funky, with poor lighting -- if you like to read. The steps down to the property are dangerous, with plants jutting out and uneven cement. The VRBO ad does not mention the credit card service fee that the owner charges; one finds this fee when the owner will not agree to one renting unless that is paid. I have never encountered this before and it seems a bit greedy.

About the host

Hosted by Gisele Plouffe

Host profile image
Hi! We are Gisele Plouffe and Guy Keller and are the owners of this property. We also live on the premises. Gisele is a local real estate agent at Sotheby's International Realty in Los Feliz, and Guy is a General Contractor. Silver Lake has been our home for about 15 years and we love it here.
Gisele is an LA native and Guy is a mid-west transplant of 30 years, which makes him a native as well. The other resident of the property is our cat 'Pepi le pew'. He can be seen roaming the property.
The two of us have restored many property's back to their original glory. Dahlia Lodge is just one of them. It is our passion to bring these old residences back to life!

Why they chose this property

Los Angeles as well as Silver Lake is our home. We LOVE it here! We chose this area because it has a great diversity of people, architecture, history, art, cafes, restaurants, and nature. We are close to downtown, midtown and the beach. We can be in the desert in a couple of hours, any local beaches or skiing on snow in the same amount of time. We have it all here along with great weather.

What makes this property unique

When we first bought this property, everyone that walked into the Lodge said 'WOW'. It has that 'WOW' factor! We bought it from a mature lady who had let the lodge run down, Guy & I lovingly restored it back to its original glory.
It is surrounded by windows on all sides and the sunset views are beautiful from there. We know anyone staying there will enjoy it and return to stay.
