Secluded Nature Retreat • Near Hiking • Private Studio Escape LA

Escape the noise of LA without leaving it.

This private bungalow sits tucked against the Chatsworth nature preserve — wake up to quiet mornings, hiking trails, and canyon sunsets.

Perfect for writers, couples, creatives, or anyone needing a reset close to the city.

Liked: Location
Host was very communicative, supportive and helpful. The house was clean and the location and surroundings were very nice. However, the bed was not a queen as listed in the post, it was a double which made it difficult for us to sleep. The posting indicated there was a gym which led me to believe there would be equipment (i.e. a stair stepper) but there was only workout weights in the cabinet. There were items about the house that should have been listed such as how to lock the house, when doing laundry the water will drain into the sink (this scared me as I thought the water in the sink would overflow and flood the house), instructions on how the power switch in the bathroom operates and how it differs from the heater switch, how and where vent and light switches worked. Once we figured everything out it was much better but it would have been nice to have a notebook that would explain how things worked.
