My wife surprised me with a trip to the famous John Lennon Treehouse for my birthday. As a musician and life-long Beatles fan my excitement was difficult to contain in the weeks leading up to our stay. Then something interesting happened. While there is absolutely a Lennon presence to be found, this space is so much more than a place where a Beatle stayed. It's quiet, comfortable, and an absolutely wonderful way to disconnect from the city below. With beautiful views from every room and level, it's quite easy to forget you're actually right in the heart of LA unless you're intentionally trying to find it through (or above) the rest of Laurel Canyon. The host was quite fantastic to interact with as well. It was such a great first stay, we'll no doubt find ourselves staying in the treehouse again in the future.
