Pasadena, California
Five minutes' stroll from the many shops and restaurants on Lake Ave, yet nestled in a quiet and leafy residential neighborhood, you are ideally placed for Cal Tech (7 minutes' walk), the annual Rose Parade (20 mins), or NASA's JPL (20 min drive). This tastefully furnished garden property is filled with everything you need to enjoy a relaxing vacation, fun-filled birding day, or a productive business trip to beautiful Pasadena.
Our guest house is a welcoming, spacious self-contained flat with private access and off-road parking set to the side and rear of the main house. It comprises a living room leading into bedroom (no dividing door), kitchen, and 3/4 bathroom. Your hosts personally deep-clean all areas, inside and out, between stays so you can rest assured that everything will be sparkling.
The cozy living room is a lovely place to relax. It has a bed-settee (usually set up as a settee, but please say if you wish to use as a bed NOTE: suitable for a small adult only), two comfy armchairs, a window-mounted air conditioning unit, central heating, TV (Netflix and Amazon Prime included), and a piano (should you be feeling musical!) Hundreds of books line the walls, please feel free to browse and dip in to a volume or two during your stay.
The bedroom also has a piano (yes, really), a walk-in closet and plenty of useful drawer space. Here the bed-settee is permanently made up as a double bed for you, with a memory foam-topped mattress and freshly ironed bedding.
The large kitchen overlooks the back garden, and is fully equipped with a gas oven, four burner gas range, microwave, full-size fridge/freezer, kettle, Keurig coffee maker, table, chairs, and full kitchenware.
A small, private patio area to the rear of the property makes an ideal spot to unwind in the evenings whilst enjoying the birds and butterflies in our native plant garden.
WiFi is included, and guests are welcome to use the washing machine and dryer outside the main house by arrangement.
NB: We have two friendly medium-sized dogs who like to sit in the garden during the day, but they never enter the guest house or back patio.
The property and hosts are wonderful. We extended our stay and enjoyed being here. Very relaxing.
Booked the property again after the new year. Hosts were again a pleasure and the property great.
Communication great from inquiry throughout the process. The property is in a quiet area of Pasadena with anything you need within walking distance. The property provides all the amenities one needs, clean, quiet. A great place to recharge. We very much enjoyed our stay.
The place was a cozy guest house that made it feel like you could stay longer. The kitchen was a nice space and the bathroom was a good size with a shower stall. The owners were extremely accommodating and even offered additional amenities that was unexpected. The neighborhood was great to walk around through and there are a couple breakfast places about a 5 minute walk away. I would be glad to return here again.
Very nice accommodations. The library and piano were a special treat! Accurate description, and probably the best equipped property we've stayed at. Great hosts; Looking forward to returning!
Welcoming and cozy on a soggy day.
It was the perfect spot for our family meet-up. The location is quiet but centrally located. Enjoyed walking the neighborhood. The kitchen is fully equipped, clean, and convenient to cook in. Loved watching the birds morning bird bath antics. Thanks a bunch!
This place is perfect for a weekend get away to Pasadena. It is a separate house behind a main house. Nice kitchen and cozy little home.
If planning to stay in Pasadena, CA, be sure to look into this place. Wonderful!
This rental was everything it was advertised to be and much more. Very clean and quiet and the neighborhood was just lovely. Thank you so much, Laura and Gavin!
My husband and I (grandparents, visiting our son's family) spent a week here and this place was perfect for us. Our adult daughter was with us a few of those days and slept on a comfortable foam mat on the livingroom floor. The livingroom is pretty small--not a problem for us since we were out all day. Everything was very clean and welcoming, including the extra touch of a bouquet of fresh flowers in the living room and milk in the refrigerator. The kitchen is very well supplied with everything you could possibly need. Gavin and Laura were friendly, helpful and even graciously offered to refund for one night when the hot water didn't work--a problem that was quickly resolved. We enjoyed getting to meet them. The neighborhood is very quiet. We enjoyed walking in the early morning through streets with lovely homes and gardens and tall trees over-arching the streets. We would definitely recommend this home, and would stay here again if the opportunity arises.
The guest house was a restful retreat after a long drive. I was welcomed with a bottle of wine and fresh cream for my morning coffee! The furniture was comfortable & the air conditioner / fan combination kept the house cool. The library drew me in and was a pleasure to explore. The garden of native fauna attracted a variety of birds and butterflies. It was the perfect backdrop to enjoying an outdoor snack. The guest house is in a great location & is very private. Laura and Gavin were easily reached by phone for anything one might need. I would definately stay again.
