The space
---> Visit our IG page: @hilltopia.laurelcanyon <---

Gorgeous hilltop Laurel Canyon light filled loft-like studio apartment (lower level of house). Behold owls, hawks, deer, magnificent sunrises and sunsets from this hideaway up in the hills. If you're fortunate enough to catch a morning when the clouds roll in, you'll be able to literally reach out and touch them!

Extremely peaceful and quiet in the heart of renowned Laurel Canyon where musicians Jimi Hendrix, Joni Mitchell, The Doors, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, Linda Ronstadt, Jackson Browne, Buffalo Springfield, The Eagles, The Mamas & The Papas, Carole King, Sonny and Cher, The Byrds and many more who cultivated the sound of the 60's, loved and played.

*Our home sits high in the hills and entering the premises via the wraparound deck may prove difficult for some if heights are an issue.
*ENTIRE LOFT IS FOR GUEST USE - NOT A SHARED SPACE

Interaction with guests - Always available since we live on the premises.

Magnificent Stay

Mick was such an excellent host. I was in town celebrating my birthday, and he put together a nice “Happy Birthday” assortment for me. Super communicative, check-in was very easy. The place is only a few minutes outside of town, and you’re mostly separated from the main house, as the main deck is above where you stay. The views alone are worth it all — as incredible during the day as they are at night!

LA return tour

The views over Laurel Canyon are fantastic, and you're high enough to see mountain ranges in the distance. The Hollywood sign is visible (barely) and the apartment is lovely. Every detail has been well thought out and is very comfortable. From the hosts' warm greeting upon arrival and throughout, we enjoyed our stay. It was a great way to visit LA but stay out of the main hustle and bustle.

We had such an incredible few days here. Yvette and Mick were fantastic hosts and gave us a very warm greeting upon our arrival. They were informative and attentive to all of our questions and needs yet also provided us with privacy. We could not have asked for better hosts. The space was open and light and airy and extremely comfortable. The views of Laurel Canyon and LA beyond upon entering the space takes your breath away. You just can't get enough balcony time with the awe of this location. In our short stay we did some very nice walks, ate at a few great restaurants, saw a lot of LA's amazing old architecture, and felt the significance of the history of Laurel Canyon. Whenever we return to vacation in LA we will most certainly try to book Yvette & Mick's magical retreat.

This was the fourth B&B we stayed at during our road trip from San Francisco to Los Angeles, and we’re so glad Hilltopia was our final stop—it truly was the proverbial cherry on the cake.From the start, Yvette and Mick were incredibly responsive, both before and during check-in. Yvette greeted us warmly and gave a quick tour of the property, which was a thoughtful touch. It was great to hear about the area from someone who actually lives there. Yvette also provided excellent recommendations for local spots and explained the house rules, which we appreciated.The unit itself is spacious and beautifully decorated. It felt like stepping back into the Laurel Canyon of the 1960s and 1970s, yet modern comforts like high-speed internet and heating kept everything balanced. The complimentary snacks and drinks were a nice gesture, even though we didn’t have much time to enjoy them because we were busy exploring.The view is absolutely stunning. Perched high in Laurel Canyon, it might feel a little daunting for some, but the payoff is spectacular—panoramic city views, the Hollywood sign, and even snow-capped mountains in the distance (which we glimpsed briefly before the rain set in).As for not having a TV in the room? Not an issue at all—you’ve got a super big screen right outside your window: the canyon, the city, and everything in between. It’s a view that will keep you entertained for hours. We also enjoyed listening to music on the Soundbox and playing the games provided by

Couldn't have been better!

Everything was perfect!! And it was SO clean. The photos are exactly how it looked in person and the views were even better! The hosts were incredibly kind and attentive without being invasive. They even saved us a parking spot right in front of the house while we were out one day when they realized the neighbors were having a party and their guest's cars were taking up all the parking on the street. You can't ask for better service than that. HIGHLY recommend!

The studio is everything they advertise and more! It was very clean and had everything you would need. The views are even better than the photos show. The location was great for our trip as well. Even though it is attached to the hosts home it was VERY private. We never heard them. It was like having our own place in Laurel Canyon! The hosts were responsive but left us to ourselves, except to text me to suggest I look out the window at the amazing rainbow that was rising from the otherside of the canyon! If we return to LA, we will be staying here again!

Lovely Laurel Canyon getaway

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Hilltopia. This is a special place tucked up in the canyon, but is amazingly accessible to the city. Experiencing Los Angeles from this home-away-from-home was a real treat. The views are even more spectacular than we expected. (If you're heights-averse, this is not the place for you.) We appreciated the attention to detail throughout. The furnishings are serene and comfortable. We were even greeted with a welcome basket of goodies. Mick & Yvette are friendly, gracious hosts who seem like cool people. They strike a nice balance of being nearby in case we needed anything while being hands-off during our stay.

Wonderful experience!

Laurel Canyon is a very special place, and Mick and Yvette's Hilltopia is a very special haven in that very special place. The location is great, the views are beautiful, and the attention to detail and comfort are superior. Yvette and Mick go above and beyond with attention to detail that makes the guest feel welcome and valued. I particularly enjoyed the decor that reflects the vibe of the Canyon. The kitchen was well-stocked and featured premium cookware. Similarly, the bathroom was also well-stocked with a great array of amenities. The bed was super comfy - so important when staying away from home!. Don't miss rising early at least one morning to enjoy the sunrise over the Canyon. Also, be sure to take some walks around the neighborhood to enjoy the different views and the interesting mix of architecture. I very much enjoyed my stay at Hilltop and will definitely return.

Cozy Nest

I almost don't want to write a review because it feels like this place should be a secret. We wanted to have a getaway for our 20th wedding anniversary and Hilltopia turned out to be the perfect place. Yvette and Mick are warm, gracious, and attentive hosts. They even had a welcome bottle of sparkling wine for us and a cute little "Happy Anniversary" balloon. The property is a perfect, cozy little nest looking out over Laurel Canyon. I highly recommend curling up in bed with a cup of coffee and watching the sun rise over the hills. We loved watching the ravens swoop by every day (and the red tail hawks nesting nearby). Having Hilltopia as our home base to come back to after adventuring around to see local sites (the Gamble House in Pasadena, the Griffith Observatory, and, of course, the Rainbow Bar & Grill) was great. We finished up every day having a glass of wine and watching the light change and listening to the ravens call across the canyon (we even heard coyotes on our last night there). Visitors should be prepared for navigating narrow, winding roads (and should definitely rent a compact car). Otherwise, just be ready to relax and enjoy the view. We will definitely be staying again!
