Like a little piece of heaven in the middle of Glendale - from beginning to end, the stay was amazing.We were coming into the area for a friend’s wedding and I was not happy with price/location of hotels I was finding. A friend suggested VRBO and this was the first listing for my timeframe. It was a perfect location and a perfect stay. The hosts were communicative, nice, and helpful. The rental was a good size for our needs and clean and quirky. The real selling point was the outdoor space, which defies description but paradise might encapsulate it. I would 1000% stay here again.

Sweet spot for long restful weekend

We spent 3 peaceful days in Craig’s cozy, well equipped casita. The gardens are outstanding as are the outdoor seating areas. Our family also enjoyed two restful afternoons with us.

We really enjoyed our stay in Glendale. The kitchen and bathroom of the apartment are small but totally workable, for just the two of us. The living room and bedroom are light and airy, and it felt very cozy. The patio gardens are EVERYTHING!! From coffee in the morning to a glass of wine at night, Craig's sanctuary was the perfect space to hang and relax.

This was the most magical stay! The pictures do not do the backyard justice! This garden oasis has taken years and years of tender love and care. It was exactly what I needed to my soul. I was visiting with my niece at accidental and this was the perfect location for me and I cannot wait to stay again! I spent every morning and evening, enjoying the garden and all that it had to offer. Craig was extremely helpful and just a lovely person to chat with. I did not eat many meals at home, so, come on if the kitchen had everything I needed however, if your coffee drinker definitely stop on your way to the house and get some drip coffee for the coffee maker because you’ll definitely wanna enjoy a coffee in your first morning out in the garden there are filters at the house. I felt very close to everything I needed. Excellent restaurants and grocery stores. I did have a car. The neighborhood is absolutely quiet and you can’t hear much of the city due to the wonderful babbling waterfall in the backyard. So many birds came to visit. I was a single woman traveling and felt incredibly safe in this neighborhood. Thank you to Craig for making my stay so delightful the fountain outside my bedroom window was perfect!
