Stayed Aug 1, 2025I stayed at this lovely house over a long weekend for an event at the Pasadena Convention Center. I did not have car, so walked everywhere. Such a great location and a beautiful and quiet neighborhood to walk around. The house was perfect for me....cosy and plenty of space. They were even able to accommodate my early arrival so I didn't have to walk around for several hours with my luggage. I would definitely stay again.

Stayed Dec 15, 2024A great location within 10 minutes of everything in Pasadena and South Pasadena: Clean, cosy, a kitchen for coffee lovers and cooks; impressive floor to ceiling bookshelves filled with English, Scottish and world travel books and literature... so much fun to browse through. A sweet garden and table/ chairs outside the kitchen door for morning breakfast or afternoon glass of wine. Laura and Calvin are gracious hosts. I felt welcome and at home!

Stayed Nov 24, 2024Very nice guest house in a lovely garden, and walking distance to a lot of places to get food. We wish we had more time to enjoy everything it had to offer, there's a huge library throughout it.

Stayed Apr 22, 2024We stayed for 2 back-to-back stays (and I already gave the first 5 stars)—the first part we had our teen with us, but the 2nd part was just as lovely!

Stayed Apr 29, 2024We stayed for almost 2 weeks (my husband & me—our teen son stayed for one week with us) and the cottage was perfect for us while we were visiting colleagues at Caltech. Close to everything, quiet, well-equipped kitchen, allll the books(!)—just a fantastic experience. Next time we visit we’d love to stay here again!
