The Closest House to The Hollywood Sign

This is the closest house to the HOLLYWOOD sign, adjacent to the 4000 acres of Griffith Park. Once owned by the 60's band The Association ("Cherish", "Windy", "Never My Love"), this house has a long Rock n Roll history. David Crosby was introduced to Graham Nash by Mama Cass, who lived next door, at a party in this house. If you want everything new and shiny like The Four Seasons, you should book a room at The Four Seasons. This is a fun, rustic Rock 'n Roll Landmark house built in 1963, photographed by Linda McCartney in 1967 and featured in her book, "The Sixties".

We are artist/filmmakers based in Western Mass, but we maintain a live/work studio called UndertheSign Studios in our Hollywood home and one or both of us may be working in LA during your visit. Our studio is separate from the house, so you will have total privacy there. We give you complete privacy, but welcome you to contact us anytime for anything and welcome you to visit with us as well.

Fabulous home in Hollywood Hills
We loved staying in this one-of-a-kind home in the Hollywood Hills. There was ample room for five of us - two parents and our three young adult sons - and we especially enjoyed the deck with its sprawling LA views, and general comfort of the entire home. We would love to stay here again!

Great house with amazing history!
We loved staying at this house!! The host was so nice and shared the history of the house with us, which was awesome! We were there for Universal Studios and it was an easy 10 minute drive from the house. There is a problem with some ants due to being on the hill but it was manageable. We will definitely book here again!

fun experience - difficult communication
Jeff was really kind! There was no check in process emailed or listed so when I arrived I had to ring his doorbell. He promptly answered and gave us a tour! He gladly accepted my guests and I loved the speakers. It was somewhat difficult to communicate with him and he lives on the property so just know he will be around quite a bit and possibly in the house, but otherwise I had a great stay

The best quiet getaway in LA!
The experience of staying at Jeff's place was incredible. From the quietness, the coziness, and the best hospitality. I enjoyed the home as it is older with character and has an eclectic vibe. Kitchen has everything in stock and sharables too. The outside shower is super relaxing and unique. Downhill has local markets and cafe so you basically have it all, including the iconic trail to the Hollywood sign. You basically will be in the house closest to the sign because it's literally in the back yard. Enjoy!

Hollywood sign was everything.
For my experience, it was strange to have the host on the same property with only glass doors separating but it was fine. Our group felt that the property could use a bit of TLC. None the less, the history of the house and the Hollywood sign made the entire trip worth it and my family and I would stay there again. Views were unmatched and that sound system was incredible.

Wonderful LA Stay
Jeff was awesome and super communicative during our stay! A beautiful home with an even better view. While the drive up to the house is very curvy, you can't beat the location. It was easy to get around! The house has a phenomenal sound system that made waking up to music very nice. While we didnt spend a whole lot of time in the house, when we did, it was cozy and had everything we needed + more. Overall we would love to stay again!

Excellent Hollywood Stay
After planning a trip to Universal Studios with our friends, we decided finding a house would be better than our traditional hotel stay. Finding this house couldn’t have been better for our families. Beachwood Canyon and this house give you a chance to experience old Hollywood while being close to everything you could possibly need. The check in process was easy and Jeff was extremely helpful getting us situated. From there on out it was smooth sailing. Something we really enjoyed was the large patio overlooking parts of LA where we could sip our coffee while the kids entertained themselves. We also took advantage of having a head start on the hike to the Hollywood sign. The description for this house is spot on, so need to repeat it and if it is something that speaks to you, I highly recommend staying here.

Old school charm deep in the Hollywood hills
The chalet was the perfect getaway for our family vacation. Jeffrey and his pup Jack Ryan were stellar hosts who greeted us when we arrived and did a thorough job of explaining the features of the house. The stereo system is impressive and must be experienced. Overall, the A-frame is cozy and a bit rustic, oozing with old school charm. The place is quirky, but that is part of the charm. Adding to the charm is being surrounded with Hollywood history, being just steps away from the famous sign on the hill. The location is both breathtaking and a bit of a hike to get to, consisting of many twists and turns as you wind your way up the mountain. Great experience and we would definitely stay again.

Great place!!!
We rented the A-Frame for a mini family reunion - My daughter and her husband, my son and his girl friend and my wife and I. The views are incredible and just hanging around on the decks or patio would probably have sufficed. But there is so much to do not far away - luckily my son is from Santa Monica - so we had a built in tour guide. After a long day seeing the sites, grab a beer and sit on the deck over looking LA and listen to your favorite songs on the sound system they have here, it even has a mechanical limit on the volume knob - with good reason. The speakers are called "Voice of the Theater" and they live up to the name. Jeff was an awesome host, wished we had more time to talk with him. Recommend to all.

We Cherished Our Time
We really enjoyed our stay at the A-frame under the Hollywood sign. The historic element of the house was incredible. There are pictures by Linda McCartney of the Association posing in the loft. We can still sense the vibe of the 60's in that house and the wonderful music that must have been created there. We were a family of ten and the hosts went out of their way to make us feel comfortable. I highly recommend this house as the perfect experience while you are in Los Angeles. The trails are incredible and they start right outside the door.

Hollywood A frame
Owner was very responsive to the couple of items we had questions about. Would have liked a downstairs shower but as we were all family, it worked out. Beautiful view of town and exciting to be so close to the Hollywood sign. A little difficult to find as our GPS sent us to the wrong side of the mountain.

Beautiful and Quaint Rooftop View
The Chalet was a wonderful retreat and very rustic in nature. Every balcony had a different point of view, whether just enjoying the scenery or people watching those who hiked up to the sign. And of course, we all loved Jacks’ company when we were downstairs. That’s the owner’s Husky/tour guide lol! The stay was peaceful, well shaded from the morning sun and we are already planning to stay here again next year on another trip back to LA.

Dirty
This home is in a great location, the views are amazing. The house is as listed rustic which isn’t the problem. The problem with this property is it’s dirty, pots and pans had rust so did the grill. The house had this nasty wet smell to it, dog hair was everywhere, the showers were dirty and we had ants everywhere, even on the beds. The furniture outside was pretty dirty as well. I’m not sure why there’s a cleaning fee because it wasn’t cleaned when I checked in. I actually had to purchase cleaning products and clean the area before using anything.

Wonderfully quirky, and with a Musical History!
This A-Frame Chalet, clinging to the side of the Hollywood sign’s mountain looks like California, tastes like the sixties. The color, the architecture, the views in the morning at sunrise or in the evening overlooking Los Angeles was an adventure unto itself. We could have not chosen a more personable place to stay for our 50th wedding anniversary with our family. Many thanks to Jeff, our host, and Jack, his magnificent canine.

Overall good stay. The owner was very nice and was receptive to our needs. The place does need some TLC; a lot of things are neglected, like the grill, hot tub, outdoor furniture, and kitchenware. Our biggest issue, however, was the cleanliness of the place. It really needs a deep, deep cleaning.

Hollywood Sign A Frame has Breathtaking Views
My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our experience here. Jeff is so gracious and welcoming, and the dog, Jack, was well behaved and friendly. Whether we were taking in the gorgeous skyline view, the upclose-and-personal Hollywood Sign view (100% insta-worthy) or relaxing in the hot tub, I had to pinch myself to prove we were really here. It's a historic, quirky, funky slice of the 60s with all the comforts of the 21st Century, and I'd return at my earliest convenience.
