Beautiful Oasis
This was our first time in California and visiting the LA area. It was nice to have a place outside of the city to retreat to after a long day of exploring. It was the perfect space for three adults as we all had our own rooms that was a good distance away. We loved having coffee on the patio outside with the beautiful landscaping in the backyard and the picturesque mountains in the background. All rules were super easy to follow and very clear. The property manager was very sweet and made sure we could communicate with her easily. An amazing stay and we would definitely love to stay again at the next opportunity!

AltaDena Retreat - 4 stars
Location: Easy to find, maps were correct in guiding you there. I We loved the location to trail and bluffs; Great views of skyline Front Yard, Front Porch, Security System - Excellent, love the iron work and porch layout. We found a Tesla battery charging system on the driveway wall - did not try to use but good for you to know. Nice feature. Front Room, Dining Room, TV, Seating, and Front Bedroom all Excellent. Side Porch: Very nice feature off the dining room. Comfortable chairs. Use caution if you have small children or pets staying on this property. On our last night we watched a momma skunk and two kits walked by fence line. Love nature, but could have been an issue. Second Bedroom: Nice size, bed comfortable. Biggest issue for us was the sky light in the center of the room. You cannot dim it or turn it off. It turns on at first dawn and runs very bright all day long and into the evening, So expect to rest in the spotlight Master Bedroom, Kitchen, Laundry - all great. Would recommend opening windows if cooking, could not find a vent and bacon set off alarms. Bathrooms: Spacious but the showers are confusing. Owner should put together instruction sheet for how to adjust the various heads/temp. Takes a few minutes to learn the various controls Back Yard: Grill is clean. Issue for us is back was heavily covered in spider webs. Took 45m to clear, we ended up not using at all cuz they came back next morning.

Wonderful home and fantastic location
The house was roomy and well equipped, with a beautiful backyard that allowed us to enjoy the sun. The neighborhood is quiet and centrally located to downtown Pasadena and Flintridge restaurants and stores. A large number of hiking trails into the foothills of the Angeles National Forest were around the corner from the house.

Great place to stay with my family of 5. We enjoyed the property as it was near the places we wanted to visit. We even went to watch the Angles play which was a drive, but then again it’s LA traffic. We would recommend this home.

Would stay again!
This was a last minute reservation. The property manager was very accommodating to our party of seniors on a short notice. There was enough room for the family members to gather and have privacy. The backyard was very private and quiet; you would not know you in the middle of a metro area. Everything was very clean and welcoming. We were prepping for a family event and the location made it easy for us to do all the necessary shopping. Would definitely stay here again.

Fantastic bungalow!
Just a fantastic stay here - we were out to visit family and stayed here with our boy (4) and daughter (1). It was a great spot, and worked perfectly for the little ones as well! The house is gorgeous, and just the right balance of traditional Pasadena bungalow with modern touches. The backyard was great - had friends over a few times after the kids had gone to bed and was a great spot to hang out in the evenings, even with the slight April and May chill!

Family visit
I rented this property for myself and my adult children for Mother's Day. It was perfect for us. The welcome basket was a plus. Loved sitting on the outside porch having coffee. It was also located so close to walking trails which we took advantage of. The location was perfect for going to Echo Park, Silverlake and Glendale which is where we wanted to go during this trip. But within easy distance to Rose Bowl and museums in Pasadena and San Marino. I would say that some of the art may be a bit scary to children, though the rooms and layout of the home is perfect for a family. We would definitely book this home again.

Good space and outdoors
Lovely house with lots of different spaces-- inside and out-- to enjoy. Beautifully landscaped-- large canopy shade tree and many fruit trees'-- with large table for meals, shaded porch and side porch, sitting area with shade structure. Very pleasant. Kitchen is well organized and stocked with basics. Lots of folky contemporary art and neomidcentury furnishings. Canyon trails just around the corner for walks and birding (apparently a popular mountain bike location but bikers are generally courteous about space). Lots of dog walking and parents strolling with kids. Didn't eat out much due to covid. Markets are close by. It was a welcome winter getaway for mom holiday
