Entering Merkaba Home is like stepping into a quieter rhythm of Los Angeles. The sound softens, the air feels clear, and natural light moves gently across warm wood and stone. Designed in the spirit of modern Japanese architecture, this architectural, design-forward home offers a sense of spacious calm and refined simplicity. It is a sanctuary for guests who value privacy, presence, and thoughtful design, and a romantic backdrop for honeymoons, anniversaries, proposals, and meaningful time together. A true romantic getaway in Los Angeles and a peaceful Laurel Canyon retreat. The Space The interior is open and unobstructed, with clean architectural lines, curated furnishings, and a seamless indoor–outdoor connection. Floor-to-ceiling glass invites the canyon landscape inward, creating harmony between the home and its surroundings. The atmosphere is soft, minimal, and restorative. Nothing is excessive; everything supports ease of living in this modern Zen retreat. A fully equipped kitchen, meditation-friendly common areas, and quiet corners for reading or reflection create a home ideal for unhurried mornings and restful evenings, whether you are sharing a slow breakfast for two or winding down after a day exploring the city. Sleeping Arrangements The home offers three private suites, each designed for rest, privacy, and a calm, Zen-inspired atmosphere. Panoramic Suite & View Loft (Upper Level): King bed, private balcony, fireplace, and direct access to a 450 sq ft sundeck with panoramic canyon views. The suite includes a Hinoki-style soaking tub for spa-inspired bathing, creating a serene, hotel-style retreat perfect for romantic stays, honeymoon nights, sunrise coffee in bed, or stargazing together under the night sky. Canyon & City View Spa Suite (Lower Level): Expansive suite with king bed, stunning canyon and Los Angeles city views, and a Japanese-inspired spa bathroom featuring a Hinoki soaking hot tub, and a walk-in shower—a private lower-level retreat for restoration after a day in the city. Zen View Wellness Suite (Lower Level): A tranquil suite with a full-size bed and beautiful canyon + Los Angeles city views, created for deep rest and daily wellness rituals. Equipped with a meditation cushion/seat and two Japanese Zen yoga mats, it’s ideal for sunrise stretching, breathwork, or unwinding in quiet. The suite includes a private full bathroom with a basalt-stone walk-in shower for a grounding, spa-like experience. Bedding is hotel-grade, selected for comfort, breathability, and softness. Bathing & Wellness Bath spaces draw influence from Japanese bathing culture: warm water, quiet lighting, natural materials, and elemental calm. Smooth stone surfaces and deep Hinoki-style soaking tubs create spa-like bathrooms that encourage slow bathing rituals and restoration—perfect for an extended soak after a day in the city or a spa-like, candlelit bath shared with someone special on a honeymoon or anniversary. Exclusive wellness option: Merkaba Home partners with Tomoko Spa to offer in-residence Japanese massage treatments, available by advance reservation for guests seeking deeper relaxation and a private couples’ spa experience at home. This makes Merkaba Home feel like a private wellness retreat in Los Angeles. Outdoor Spaces Terraced outdoor areas are designed for stillness and reflection. Zen courtyard with seating and water feature Upper Kyoto-style deck with open sky and sweeping views Lower cedarwood hot tub deck, surrounded by canyon greenery and city views Morning light here is gentle. Evenings glow in muted tones of the hills. These outdoor spaces are ideal for meditation, yoga, tea, or quiet conversation, as well as romantic sunset moments, a glass of wine under the stars, or a peaceful soak together in the hot tub overlooking the canyon. This Hollywood Hills vacation rental with views offers a rare sense of privacy and connection to nature.
