Great stay! What a beautiful place! Shida, the host, was wonderful and communicative. The property itself is like a mountain retreat. I was very zenned during my stay here. Drive-up to the get to the place is twisty and has narrow roads - it was not a problem for us but a heads up to people booking the place.

Laurel Canyon
Overall it was great. I ended up staying only 1 night instead of 2 due to a cancelled flight.The drive and subsequent parking would be the only negative for me .... navigating a narrow dirt road with steep cliffs and no turnouts can be a bit stressful.

Wonderful stay
I can't rate this stay highly enough. A stunning location and an exceptionally welcoming host. Beautiful view over LA and the immediately surrounding canyons. Lots of places to sit comfortably outside and relax, whether looking over the canyons or over the large, heated pool. Perfect stay.

Relaxing private retreat.
Our stay was wonderful. Shida was a welcoming host and the property was beautiful. "Top of the world" is the perfect description for this hideaway at the top of Laurel Canyon. It's the perfect place to unwind and relax.

I think you have to be in adventure to find the property. It is located at the end of a very, very narrow, winding road. I was just.

Top of the World Says it All
Unique and amazing location at the end of a winding drive on the top of a ridgeline of beautiful Laurel Canyon. This cozy room, with a private bath, extends to its own patio and veranda/pool overlooking gorgeous views on both sides looking down the canyon. Coffee on the patio watching the sunrise was fantastic. The hostess was warm and welcoming and everything about our stay was top notch. We look forward to coming back another time.
