Enjoy the peace and privacy while being just five minutes from the vibrant restaurants, bars, and shops the area is famous for.

If you need anything just let me know!

Silver Lake is a dynamic and creative neighborhood. You are just a short drive from many of LA's top attractions, yet your rental feels like a world away. For groceries, Whole Foods 365 is around the corner, and Trader Joe's is a 5-minute drive.

The house was a great home base for our LA trip. Our main purpose was for a dodger game and the house made getting to and from the stadium very easy. The house had everything we needed and we loved the MCM vibes. Heather was very easy to reach and accommodating.

A week in Silverlake treetops

The house was as advertised: in the Silverlake neighborhood, which has easy access to freeways and a number of interesting neighborhoods. 5 minute drive or 15 minute walk to Silverlake Reservoir. Relatively quiet location near end cul de sac street overlooking Glendale Blvd. Nice mid-century modern decor, furniture, windows etc

Wonderful stay

Heather’s house is located near the end of a quiet dead end street. Open, spacious, clean, and comfortable. The house overlooks a busy street but you wouldn’t know it (except for distant traffic noise) because the large windows look out into the trees of the beautiful backyard. Very walkable; Whole Foods is a short walk or drive away. You can walk around Silver Lake Reservoir and it’s surrounding hilly neighborhood. Heather answered questions promptly. Kitchen well-equipped, great shower head, comfortable beds with quality linens. Highly recommend!

An absolutely fantastic property and stay

This choice property not only provided comfort but also inspired relaxation and creativity. Nestled in the Silver Lake hills, the huge windows are tucked into gentle trees, giving you the impression you’re in the most well-appointed tree house. The bedrooms were comfortable, the bathroom perfectly appointed, and the kitchen had everything a Chef needed to craft some amazing meals. The owner, Heather, is a gracious host and consummate professional, ensuring my stay was seamless and responding promptly to any inquiries I had. Every aspect of this home, from its flawless presentation to its prime location, contributed to an unforgettable stay. It served as the perfect canvas for creating new memories and provided a quiet haven to return to each day. For anyone looking to indulge in the Los Angeles lifestyle with a touch of elegance and comfort, this property is without a doubt a premier choice.

Beautiful mid-century oasis in the trees

This is a beautiful mid-century house that's tucked up on a little street above the hustle and bustle of Silver Lake. It has one of the nicest kitchen set-ups of any rental property I've stayed at – super stylish dishware, tons of pantry and fridge staples. It was really nice to have a chill, comfortable place to hang out amidst all of our various city outings and our dogs LOVED the woodsy backyard.

Beautiful home with lots of space to entertain

This home is absolutely beautiful! I would have moved in if I could. The two living rooms, dining room, and open kitchen provided ample space for us to gather with friends. All with beautiful views. The house was tastefully decorated. The beds were comfortable. And Heather was very communicative to set things up optimally for us. We travelled with our one year old. He enjoyed crawling around the open space and I was happy that there were outlet protectors, baby plates, and even bibs available. Great location, too. Definitely recommend.

First I want to thank the host for accepting such a last minute reservation. The place beautiful, the scenery is beautiful, the peace is beautiful and the neighbors were very welcoming and pleasant. I would no I mean I am going to be renting here again. In closing if you looking for a place to relax take in the city and still come back to a home that feels like you are at home. This is it. Once again thank you Heather for everything and opening your beautiful home to strangers. This is not a regular Vrbo. Evans family.
