Architectural Marvel in Hollywood Hills with Views

Experience a piece of Los Angeles history in this iconic mid-century modern home, perched in the Hollywood Hills with spectacular views of the mountains, city lights, and the Hollywood Sign. Designed by famed architect Harry Gesner, these 'Boat Houses' are a treasured part of L.A.'s architectural canon.

The recently renovated space is filled with natural light that highlights the dramatic wooden beams and white walls.

Tucked into the winding, tree-lined roads of the Hollywood Hills, the Boat House offers a peaceful, secluded retreat that feels worlds away from the city—yet many of LA’s most iconic destinations are just minutes away. This storied neighborhood is known for its dramatic hillside architecture, lush canyon setting, celebrity history and spectacular views, with legendary Mulholland Drive and Laurel Canyon right nearby.

Within approximately 15 minutes, explore the Hollywood Bowl, Hollywood Walk of Fame, TCL Chinese Theatre, Universal Studios Hollywood and CityWalk, the Sunset Strip, Griffith Park and the LA Zoo. Hike Runyon Canyon, walk around the Hollywood Reservoir, take in views of the Hollywood Sign, cycle Mulholland Drive, play golf or go horseback riding through the hills. Restaurants, shopping, nightlife, live music and Hollywood landmarks are all within easy reach—making this an ideal base for experiencing Los Angeles while coming home to the quiet of the hills.

Everything you need-plenty of plates, dishes, spices, toiletries (including TP, cotton swabs, tissues), blankets, and hangers. We appreciated there were extras of everything. Also, the couch was extremely comfortable. Beautiful views made it the perfect place to stay.

I was in a rush after some recent IT outtages made a mess of my plans, and ended up entering my code wrong and locking myself out. Thankfully the system owner was immediately available for me to resolve my mistake and save my vacation! Dedicated and reliable, as well as an amazing home
