A chance to stay in one of the Iconic Mid-Century Modern Boat Houses perched in the Hollywood Hills

A chance to stay in one of the Iconic Mid-Century Modern Boat Houses perched up in the Hollywood Hills! Designed by famed architect Harry Gesner and built by Norwegian boat builders, they've been affectionally nicknamed the Boat Houses. With a clear view of the mountains, canyon, and city lights at night, this is a truly one-of-a-kind experience. Vintage touches throughout.

If you need anything just let me know!

The Hollywood Hills are great to just pop out and get a good walk in. Also great for walking your dog if you bring them along.

The entire space is yours to use and enjoy - the living area upstairs and the bedrooms downstairs as well as the deck. There is a stairwell that goes down to the backyard. Help yourself to a lemon from the lemon tree! There are small stepping stones if you'd like to go down the hill, but it is steep so do be careful.

🏞️ Sit on the deck and enjoy the amazing view of the entire canyon, the Hollywood sign, and the city lights in the distance.
