Beautiful Home, Beautiful Garden, Beautiful Stay

This is a 5 star property in a nice neighborhood. The house is very well appointed for a comfortable stay. There is everything you need in the kitchen to create a nice meal. The garden is large and private with at least five separate seating areas to enjoy. Pool and spa were great, especially the in-pool shaded seating for two. Good for morning walks with trails nearby as well.

Great family stay

The home was exactly as pictured and a perfect place for a visit with kids and grandkids. It is rare to find a rental property outfitted with exactly what is needed in every space and furnished with such taste and quality. Mature and carefully tended garden adds to ambiance. A problem with swimming pool was attended to by owner and we did get a day of use. Would definitely stay again and recommend this property.

Like having our own private resort!

We loved our stay at this property. The outdoor space is beautiful and more comfortable and inviting than the pictures led us to believe. We spent most of our 5 days out there during our November visit. We ate all of our family dinners at the big table, warmed by the overhead heater. The kitchen is incredibly well-stocked. We prepared a large Thanksgiving feast and had EVERYTHING we needed to prepare and serve the meal to a large group. Would definitely stay here again!

Wonderful CALTECH Graduation Weekend

We loved this property. We were in Pasadena for our daughter's graduation from CALTECH and this was the perfect place for us and her grandparents to be. Wonderful home. Beautiful and private backyard. Short drive to campus. It was perfect. I wish we had found this place sooner as we would have stayed here when we visited her over the years.

Another Rose Bowl Visit

Had a great stay at this home, the yard and kitchen are great. Could use a bigger TV watching area but all we enjoyed our stay here. The hot tub and BBQ grill were great as well. The host accommodated my brother who came into Rose Bowl tickets last m minute so that was great also. Beds were warm and comfortable, great to have a washer and dryer ! Thanks very much.

Super location, great house

We went to the Breeders’ Cup races at Santa Anita and Altadena is an excellent location. Less than 15 minutes to the track. Also, we like to walk for exercise and lots of options. Easy walk to the hills with some super trails. House is very comfortable. Great water pressure for showers. Well outfitted kitchen. Easy in and out from the street. Quiet area and nice pool. Spend one day just relaxing by the pool. Life is good. Really good host. Super responsive. If we are in the area, we would definitely return.

Multi-Generation Gem

This is a beautiful house in a beautiful setting that is perfect for a family gathering. The backyard and garden area make you never want to leave! As many have stated, the kitchen is fully stocked, the beds are comfortable, and there is plenty of space to be together or retreat if you need a break from the louder people in your group. Ha! Greg was a fantastic host who was quick to respond with any questions we had. The location was perfect, and the area provided as much or as little as you want to do. Thank you, Greg, for opening your home to us. We loved every minute of it. Happy New Year!

Garden Resort Life

This home is all about the outdoor spaces. The back garden with pool, spa and extensive covered patio offers many options for lounging and pool play. Plus the backyard, an area beyond the pool and patio, was prefect for playing ball with our dog and hiding Easter eggs for our 2 year old granddaughter. The house itself offers plenty of privacy for three couples. Master bedroom is in separate wing from 2 other nice sized queen bedrooms, each with its own bath, and each at opposite ends of a generously sized hallway with laundry room in between. Front yard too is beautifully landscaped with added two-year-old amenity of large boulders to climb and hop off. Great walking neighborhood for dogs and families.

About the host

We have raised our kids here. We have renovated the house several times. Living here is like being on vacation for us. But now that we travel, it is great to share it with you.

We are still living in the home most of the time, but travel for pleasure quite often and therefor, thought it would be interesting to share with others. We love the house, the neighborhood, the nearby outdoor space in the canyons and mountains. It is close to all the amazing attractions of the San Gabriel Valley and close to downtown.
The house is very attractive to visitors who want to have small gatherings or parties. We have had graduation events, rehearsal dinners, wedding brunches, family gatherings of all sorts. Gathering require some additional deposits and payments but we do accommodate.

What makes this property unique

It has great outdoor entertaining space and furniture and we will allow certain types of events and gatherings for our guests. There is additional costs and an addendum that must be signed to hold events.
