Quaint cabin, cave and nature-filled grounds

About the Space

IMPORTANT: Please request at least 24 hours in advance of your start time. While we'd love to host everyone, we are unable to make this an instant booking space. We will review your booking and ask a few questions regarding size and noise levels before accepting. We are able to host nearly all of our requests and look forward to hosting you! Book on the weekend for a discounted rate! This cozy, picturesque property and workshop-cabin in the hills of Silver Lake is an artist’s, writer’s, or tradesperson’s dream. Perched on a hillside property overlooking Fountain Avenue, this space offers the perfect setting for all types of production, and can serve as its own inspiration for you to work, write, paint, tinker, make music, or simply escape the city. Surrounded by quaint yet lush landscaping, walkways and stairways, fruit trees, a fountain, and a hand-built 70+ year-old cave that is rumored to be designed by Disney contractors, this property was one of the first developed lots in the historic Moreno Highlands tract of Silver Lake. Ample natural light - particularly in the afternoon to evening - bathe the surroundings in a warm, tree-filtered glow. The structure was built ca. 1940s, but has been structurally retrofitted and furnished as a creative’s paradise, sourced almost entirely with decor and functioning equipment from 1975 or prior. The space is stocked with ample tools, fixtures, storage, and amenities, but depending on the length of the booking, can be delivered almost entirely unfurnished if so desired (ask for further details). We encourage you to adapt the space as much or as little as needed to meet your specific needs - previous guests have imagined it as a survivalists's compound, Santa's workshop, vampire's hideout, hunting cabin, or solitary retreat. Come make it your own! please note! - There are lots of stairs, so the space has limited accessibility. Note that you will likely need to carry equipment (about 20 steps from the sidewalk to the cabin, and 20 steps from the cabin to the restroom). - The property is shared with four full-time residents, so as a courtesy to our neighbors, we cannot accept requests less than 24 hours in advance. - The workshop space is constantly evolving, and has adapted and been modified to suit the needs of its diversely talented users. If you see a particular prop or feature in a photo that you want for your booking - and it isn’t mentioned in the description - please reach out to us so we can confirm whether it is still available, and if so, ensure that we have it ready for you. - Noise from beyond our property line is of course beyond our control, but we will do our best to notify you of any potential conflicts beforehand (trash day, neighbor parties, etc). If we learn of a conflict beforehand, we will help cancel or reschedule at no charge. While we review all requests on a case-by-case basis, we prioritize photo shoots of all sizes and film shoots with 6 or less people. If your shoot falls outside this restriction, please still get in touch with the details and we will review! We also cannot host any productions that involve excessive noise like yelling.
