ACCOMMODATIONS:
Our adorable 1918 Film Studio Bungalow will absolutely delight you and your travel companions! The best description of this property would be a 'doll house for adults'. It has a broad range of appeal - from a romantic couple's getaway - to a family property, that can accommodate 6 guests. A group of 6 usually has it's own unique dynamic - so please let us know who is traveling in your party, and we will give you our opinion on whether of not we're a good fit. 4 or 5 guests are no problem! The home has everything you would possibly need for a relaxing stay ... and more! You'll find comfortable, but glamorous furnishings, movie memorabilia, personal plasma TV in each sleeping area, full kitchen, W/D, BBQ, small outdoor eating area. The home has a Queen bed, Queen sleeper sofa, and a Single/King conversion. If you have small children, we also have a 'pack and play' - and a twin aerobed if you need additional bedding. We have had nothing but happy guests, and we look forward to your stay!
HISTORY:
The Hollywood Stars Bungalow was built in 1918, commissioned by legendary filmmaker Cecil B. DeMille to provide location housing for the movie stars of the Silent Film Era. According to local film historians, this home was one of the first Bungalows built in Hollywood to accommodate such stars as Charlie Chaplin, Dorothy Gish, Richard Dix, and Clara Bow as they worked in Hollywood 'on location'. The home has been immaculately restored, and was our personal residence for quite some time. We absolutely loved living here, and can personally tell you that is amazingly quiet, and ridiculously cozy. When you're inside the Bungalow, it's hard to believe you in the middle of Hollywood. It sits on a shady corner lot, with lots of trees and shrubs to create a private setting.It has private gated parking for 1 medium sized car. Ample street parking is also available if you should have guests.
