Beautiful artists residence
This is by far the most beautiful vrbo I have ever seen. We celebrated our daughter’s graduation and enjoyed the lovely deck and garden. The dining area is outstanding with art works and beautiful architectural space. The furniture was so cozy , beds were wonderful. And kitchen was so well stocked. Viking range and cookware perfect for preparing a wonderful dinner. Highly recommend this gem of a place !

Great oasis
I came to this property for a writing retreat and I couldn't have been happier with it. It's quiet, peaceful and zen-like. The yard is lovely, the bed is comfortable, and the kitchen is well-stocked. It's clean and the instructions for how to use different things (the tv, the bbq, etc.) were very clear. I highly recommend this property.

Beautiful serene cottage
The photos are 100% accurate. The property is stunning. It has been lovingly remodeled. The pictures do not do justice to the yard. Despite being in a suburb of America's second largest city, the property feels rural when inside or in the yard. We saw squirrels in the yard every day, and birds bathe in the water feature regularly. Property management checked in and made themselves available, but we didn't need anything. We regret scheduling every day away from the property. When we return, we'll try to set aside at least a full day to just relax and read a book in the yard.

Beautiful artists' studio and home
This is an exceptional property: Craftsman architecture, original artwork, updated and fully-equipped kitchen nestled in a quiet neighborhood with a lovely garden. We stayed for 4 nights and used the home as a base for exploring Pasadena and an easy trip into LA for a Sunday symphony matinee. It was a pleasure to return each day from the hustle and bustle to this beautiful and peaceful retreat. Kate and Kathleen were fast at replying with helpful and detailed tips for driving, etc. Definitely a place to return to.

Lovely home with a beautiful garden
Great stay in this excellent property. The house is spacious and very well equipped with everything that you might need. The garden is a real oasis of calm in the heart of Pasadena. With multiple seating areas you can enjoy sun or shade throughout the day. We will most certainly book this property for our next visit to Pasadena.

Great Outdoor Space
We had a lovely visit. The house was comfortable, spacious, and quiet. The beds were comfortable and the showers hot. The kitchen was well-stocked. We enjoyed the outdoor space; it was amazing! We had Thanksgiving dinner on the patio. We made fires in the firepit twice. The artwork and pottery were nice touches. It was great having on-site parking! All-in-all we had a very nice stay.
