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.

Excellent home

The property was excellent. The location was super close to everything we wanted to do, and a nice safe neighborhood . Craig the owner was excellent to deal with communicating with us ahead of time to make sure we found the place OK and to let us know if we had any questions to contact him.The patio is truly amazing, great place to relax and have coffee and breakfast in the morning and dinner in the evening. After attending a concert one evening we came home and the patio was almost magical with the lighting, water flowing and the plants. We will definitely stay here again if in the area!

Rejuvenating Stay

We thoroughly enjoyed getting to stay at Craig and Barbra’s cozy cottage space! It was so thoughtfully curated inside and out. The bed was comfortable, the living room was nice, kitchen well appointed, and we really appreciated that the space was extremely clean and breezy with the windows open. The unit faces the garden backyard which is utterly spectacular and complete with cool views of surrounding city areas and mountains in the distance. Communicating with the hosts was easy and helpful and we hope to get to stay with them again since we had such a great time.

Idyllic spot

We were so happy that we chose this place for our 4 day visit in the LA area. Cozy inside and beautiful outside, it was a relaxing and enjoyable spot to return to after days of sightseeing. We especially enjoyed eating some meals outside while watching the birds in the backyard. The interior was clean and well-equipped, and our host Craig was friendly and communicative. An easy recommendation!

Great Place

The apartment was great we had everything we needed and the garden area was absolutely beautiful with a pound and view of the city. Craig was very accommodating allowing us to drop off our luggage early so we didn’t have to carry around in the car. It was close to everything we wanted and having off street parking was great.

Perfect Oasis!

We were in town visiting with our son and stayed for 4 nights at this cute, peaceful and serene, cottage! The back patio was so beautiful with all the plants and flowers and creek, waterfall, and ponds, and don't want to forget the beautiful view of Glendale and surrounding mountains. At night, the entire back patio comes alive with amazing subtle lighting effects ... almost like a cozy little dream world! The bed was very comfortable, and the kitchen had everything we needed. As other reviews had mentioned, the bathroom is very small, but adequate. It didn't bother us at all as it just reminded us of our camping days back in the day. We will definitely return to this VRBO when in town again. Highly recommend! - Pam and Steve

Serenity in a city

One of the most beautiful & tranquil vrbo’s we’ve stayed. Craig was such a pleasant and easy to communicate with owner. His place has everything one needed. I loved how close this place is to everything, yet so peaceful. My husband and I had a wonderful time here! We will be back in the future!

We spent as much time outside in the beautiful backyard garden, with its flowing stream, as we could. It was very restful and all the seating is comfortable. We met the owner Craig, who made us feel relaxed and welcome. We look forward to another booking in our future.

Fantastic Outdoor Space

We traveled to Glendale to attend the 2025 Rose Parade. We picked this place for its beautiful outdoor space as we were hoping to enjoy a more temperate climate while we escaped the upper midwest winter for a few days. The outdoor space was lovely with all kinds of garden art scattered about. It provided a wonderful view of the mountains off in the distance. The indoor space was clean and comfortable, with everything we needed for our home base for the parade and other outdoor activities we enjoyed during our stay. As other commenters have noted, the bathroom is rather tiny. But still it had everything we needed. There is easy access to the freeway system and a Ralph's grocery store about a mile or so from the house. We will visit again if we find ourselves in the neighborhood.
