It was our magical mystery tour, an experience of a lifetime. If we're ever fortunate enough to return to the magical world of Hollywood, we wouldn't consider staying anywhere but The Hollywood Sign Chalet. The history and spirit of this home is enchanting. We were all beguiled by the aura of peace and love that enveloped us from our first few moments in the A-frame; even our resident skeptic was down with it. We're a family of 6, 3 generations ranging in age from 18 to 67 and after roaming the star-studded streets of Hollywood every day, we partied every night on the 2 main decks and in the hot tub and the rooftop deck gazing at the larger than life Hollywood sign in the backyard! This place should be a national treasure because of its musical history and its stunning proximity to the iconic Hollywood sign.
Our hosts, Diana and Jeff, were warm and generous almost beyond belief, even leaving us gifts of wine and beer and snacks. Diana's a prolific artist and documentarian whose artwork is all over the house to be enjoyed. My favorite is the nude in the hallway that I call My Lady. I love the well-worn leather sofas as soft as butter as I watched my girls bang away on that famous piano using an app to guide them. And there's a big beautiful dog named Jack. Not your thing? There's a glass door to keep him out or let him in as you desire. Your choice. Diana is a magical wood nymph who stood on her hands and bent backwards to play the anniversary song on the baby grand with her toes to honor our 48th dateaversary. Diana doesn't direct your adventure, she enhances it. if you want it. Otherwise she unobtrusively stays in her studio behind the glass door with Jack. LET THEM IN!!! You won't regret it. I miss the smoothies and mango she shared. And the stories! She's the creator of the famous Michael Jackson sculpture featured on HIStory. Much love Homie
