1. John Lennon's iconic hilltop home in Laurel Canyon
Speechless – almost. This place is jaw-droppingly beautiful. But then again, it was the former residence of The Beatles' main man and legend, John Lennon – talk about an eye for design. Picture this: sunlight streaming through not one, but four terraces, casting a cool, shady, golden-hour glow throughout the home. Inside, you'll find unique touches like original Danish mid-century furniture, Japanese sliding doors, and dark wood-paneled ceilings. And as you take in the sweeping views over Laurel Canyon, you'll swear every day feels like a leisurely Sunday while vacationing here.
What’s the budget range? A pretty penny, but it's worth every dollar for the history and the serenity.
What’s it like to stay here? Peaceful with stunning views of the hills – the tram ride up alone is incredible.
Rooms: 3 beds, 1.5 baths. Sleeps 4.
