The guesthouse at 10050 Cielo Drive

[@beedifrnt]

Wow, this is awesome! The view from the GH is even more amazing than the view from the main house. The lawn behind the GH is much larger than I thought too. Thank you so much for posting this...

[@surfguy87]

True. That view is ludicrous, really.

[@Ayecie.]

This is a crazy hidden gem. I’ve always wanted to see the inside of the house during its time as NIN’s studio in this vlog style but all we’ve ever had was the “Gave Up” music video. Thanks for all these great uploads.

[@emallace447]

As a History PhD student, I just have to say that you have documented a part of American history. Tragic history, but history nevertheless. Thank you so much for documenting and sharing!

[@katevanburen]

Thank you! 💕

[@katherine-zz]

Amazing footage as always. Love these little clips from this NIN era :)

[@soso8824]

Thanks so much. This is amazing. Never saw the inside of the guest house other than in photos. You actually take us inside the place. Bless you 😘❤👍💯

[@aliahspirituality]

Such a treat! Love this old house. So charming. This view is spectacular!

[@dennisryan80]

The guest house was beautiful and charming! Such a nice little kitchen and living room area. :D

[@Hickory-ez8gv]

The GH has an awesome view with the pane glass windows I heard it was 2000 sq feet and the main house 3400 sq feet, it was a beautiful property I wonder how did the above garage APT look. The whole property look so beautiful and peaceful

[@bluewave7120]

A shame the house was torn down Such a beautiful place I can see why sharon loved it up there

[@isabeldonahue4157]

Looks more like a bungalow with an awesome view. Very nice. Thanks for posting.

[@kingshaggymango4496]

I'm living vicariously through these videos you post. Dreaming of my dreams coming true.

[@katevanburen]

So happy you are enjoying them - thank you for watching!

[@tamstrz4427]

Wowza, never seen this before! Such a shame these structures were tore down. They were beautiful

[@NVSTRZ34]

Very cool. Thanks for sharing. ❤

[@MrNICOLA8010]

Muchas gracias 😢👍❤❤❤❤❤

[@variousJnames]

The music totally downplays the reality of the horror that took place there. What a fantastic video! I'd never seen footage of the interior that's not a crime scene. Thank you for sharing this 👍🏼

[@Ken-vk8pb]

Beautiful house on a beautiful piece of property. I love the yard area and the view of Los Angeles was nice also. I just wish they never tore down this original house and property to build that large mansion. They totally ruined the entire landscape of the original property when they tore everything down in June of 1994.

[@soso8824]

Love the fireplace area.....it looks just like the fireplace in the main house.❤👍

[@americangirl4410]

Amazing…note the cctv at the gate…wish had that technology back in August of 1969

[@fudgicle-cr2jw]

I thought the same thing. But even if the cameras picked up the intruders, there's nothing Garretson could've done about it because the very first thing they did was cut the phone lines. No way to call out for help. So Garretson and Parent might have gone outside to confront the killers, having no way of knowing they were killers, and would've been killed themselves. Parent of course, was killed, but in his car driving away.

[@Rocks_Dad]

Thanks, i recently read Helter Skelter and couldnt understand where this was. Apparently, the groundskeeper was in here playing his radio all the while everyone else on the property was being murdered.

[@SekhmetSecretWeapon]

what an awesome guest house... too bad they had to tear it down and build the current monstrosity..thanks for posting

[@68fmj51]

Absolute travesty that the original house and guest house were torn down and that monstrosity built in its place.

[@muziktrkr]

In hindsight, they probably could have had Mark Lindsay from Paul Revere and the Raiders to come up during the TDS sessions because he lived in that house when his band was on break. He said he saw Charlie hanging out in that house with Dennis Wilson and Terry Melcher, not saying much to anyone. The crazy thing is the creator of Full House, who bought the house and property, had The Beach Boys on the show.

[@jimmyneck2854]

How is it possible William Gerritsen who was living in the guest house did not hear anything and the murderers did not go there obviously seeing that there were lights on in his house

[@es1442]

It was a stunning property

[@edgarmorales3816]

Woww i love your videos about cielo drive in the NIN era, if you have more can you upload them ??

[@ndog2005]

This is the guest house? Gorgeous..

[@doxiemom6850]

Thank you for posting. Is it just one big room no bedrooms

[@katevanburen]

I don’t remember seeing a bedroom but there must have been one somewhere because Chris stayed lived in the guest house for months. I don’t think he slept on the couch, but I could be wrong.

[@Ken-vk8pb]

@@katevanburen The house was a 2 bedroom house when Sharon Tate lived there but there was a small ladder in the living room that led to a loft area where someone could sleep up there. The Master bedroom had a set of French doors that led out to the swimming pool area.

[@aliahspirituality]

@@Ken-vk8pbI think they’re asking about the guest house not the main one.

[@lonnybush5612]

​@Ken-vk8pb actually had 3 bedrooms. One was off the kitchen. Often referred to as the maids quarters.

[@davidellis5141]

Good thing William didn't answer the door that night ...

[@NuCkInFuTs1]

Yeah I'm sure he was terrified, you know those dogs he had with him in that guest house definitely heard the screaming and were probably going nuts barking like crazy. I believe he did hear what was going on but was too ashamed to say because he didn't do anything to help the others. I don't blame him though because what could he have done by that point with no gun or phone access to call 911. Those dogs probably saved his life by being in there with him.

[@fudgicle-cr2jw]

@@NuCkInFuTs1 Totally agree. I think Garretson heard everything that night - he may have even gone out to take a peek, and seen some of the chaos going on. I think he hid out in the guest room, having no way of knowing the true horror unfolding. He probably assumed it was just a robbery. Also, Garretson absolutely had significant mental health issues. He's what we used to call in the old days, "a little slow". Not fully retarded, but definitely off. That was proven when later in life he MARRIED the lunatic who publicly claimed to be Sharon and Roman's baby. She claimed the murderers cut out the baby and sold it, and that she was that baby, who finally discovered her true identity. He gave an interview about it and it was clear, he had the intellectual capacity of a child. There's so much more to that whole story than ever gets covered, and even more that we'll never know.

[@NuCkInFuTs1]

@@fudgicle-cr2jw wow! That's crazy about the lady he married. There are some people that think that he went out the back of the guest house and hid in the hillside somewhere for a while.

[@rahuljacobgeorge573]

Just imagine In the morning he woke up horrified to see that scene and dint know anything through the night ..he wld have had nightmares for years thinking that it was all going on while he was there sleeping and he escaped

[@rahuljacobgeorge573]

@@fudgicle-cr2jwyea he might have heard it and wld have tried calling the police bt the phone line was cut so he might have hid himself inside smwre locking the door pretending he s nt there in the vicinity

[@robertgallagher5285]

Its understandable that Bill Garetson never heard anything

[@hopefloatsm24]

Just curious. Who took this video? I’m confused. 🤔

[@MaGarcia2000]

Maybe one of Trent Reznor band mates or team techs

[@katevanburen]

James Woolley took this video. He was a member of a band that lived in the house in the early 90’s.

[@Cronelife_]

This is amazing Kate! Did you pick up sharons energy? I would love to see more footage of the grounds such as the pool. Is the guest house behind the house William Garrrtson was in the care taker who surivived

[@jennag3226]

The guest house, which is shown in this vid, is where Garretson lived.

[@abc-xu6wb]

How far from the main house was the guest house?

[@paultynan8705]

All those houses down there and nobody heard??

[@WayneMullholland]

❤

[@bluewave7120]

Was there a bedroom to the right after you walk through the front door?

[@katevanburen]

If I remember correctly, you had to walk through the kitchen and laundry area to get to the “maid’s quarters” which was the bedroom on the right side of the house.

[@bluewave7120]

​@@katevanburenTY Your so lucky to have had the experience being there I wish the house would have been placed on the historic registry to preserve it Over the years it is amazing how many celebs spent time up there

[@shauntaylor6040]

No sign of Mr Garrestson.

[@NuCkInFuTs1]

I believe it was the dogs that Garretson had with him in the guest house that kept Patricia and Tex from going in there, and I think Garretson just said that he didn't hear anything because he was ashamed that he didn't do anything to help the others. Because you know those dogs had to have heard the screaming and were probably going nuts inside that little guest house. But I don't blame him, what could he have possibly done to help them if he didn't have a gun himself in there.

[@MsSmudge14]

I wonder if they experienced any paranormal activity while there?

[@janessap1739]

When was this taken? Curious….

[@katevanburen]

Around 1992-93

[@susanmcmullen7789]

Who would want to live there after such horrific murders not me I would pray over that house and command every evil spirit to go in the mighty name of Jesus before I ever stayed there and there is no other power higher than the name of Jesus ❤✝️

[@LeslieVanHoutenn]

00:28 This is the door through which Patricia Krenwinkel chased Abigail Folger.😂

[@fudgicle-cr2jw]

No that happened in the main house. This is footage of the guest house. This is where Linda Kasabian claims Tex told her to check the guest house and kill anyone there. With Tex watching from afar, she tried to open the door but pretended it was locked. It wasn't, and Garretson was "sleeping" inside only a few feet away. Luckily Tex didn't pursue it further, which of course saved Garretson's life.

[@rich_green_9610]

What is funny about this?…

[@mikej3187]

It's great to see what the guest house looked like inside. I've seen numerous details inside the main house but nothing like this. The view is spectacular. I like this house and property better than the monstrosity that is there now. Any stats on the pool ? Thanks 😊
