About this property

Quiet Hollywood Hills Retreat Near Universal & Hollywood Bowl

Tucked into the Hollywood Hills just off iconic Mulholland Drive, this private, character-filled guesthouse is surrounded by lush greenery and scenic views. Enjoy indoor-outdoor living with sunny patios, a vibrant living space, and a peaceful setting—close to everything, yet away from the crowds.

A curated collection of books on Hollywood and the art of filmmaking, along with thoughtfully collected memorabilia, adds a distinctive sense of place.

Surrounded by tropical landscaping, this approximately 900 sq ft retreat features two bedrooms (one king, one queen), a full bathroom, a fully equipped kitchen, and multiple outdoor areas for relaxing or dining. The bright living area includes a distinctive fireplace, original local artwork, and a pullout sofa with a queen-size mattress.

The primary bedroom offers comfort and natural light, while the second bedroom opens directly to the garden, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor experience.

High-speed internet, reserved off-street parking—with a glimpse of the Hollywood Sign from the driveway—and thoughtful details throughout make it ideal for couples, families, or professionals seeking privacy and a calm, inspiring atmosphere.

Cute place in a great location. Close to Hollywood, Universal Studios, Beverly Hills. Nice, comfortable bedding, nice towels and shower/bathroom supplies. . Subscription services on the tv. Kitchen for cooking own meals. We enjoyed staying at the place. Better than a hotel, as long as you don't need a pool. Roads in the area are very narrow and winding. We had a large F150 rental vehicle, which was fine, but it would be easier getting around in a smaller vehicle .

Make sure to turn around when you pull into the driveway to see the Hollywood sign - what a breathtaking way to start your vacation. This location can't be beat! Couple that with Frances amazing communication, amenities galore and super comfy beds and you have the perfect retreat.

Five star flawless experience Frances allowed a super early check in from an early flight. Property is in a spectacular location with views of mulholland drive, very private, immaculately clean, ventless new ac units in every room. Peaceful urban garden out back and courtyard patio as well, kitchen and bathroom stocked with pour over coffee and organic shower products. Washer, dryer & detergent were a life saver for our long stay. Kids loved the massive dvd selection, especially universal box set with jaws and jurassic park. Frances is a lovely host and person, you can tell by her quick and thoughtful replies, and the way she cares for the property inside and out. Thanks so much Frances

I highly recommend this serene house in the Hollywood Hills. As a former resident of the area, this is the perfect spot for me to stay when I return to visit friends. The bed was comfortable and I slept very well. It’s extremely private and safe. The most appealing aspect is that it’s within walking distance to Runyon Canyon hiking.
