The house is within walking distance to Victory Park/Sierra Madre Blvd where the Rose Bowl floats are displayed for the two days following the Parade.


Situated on a beautiful, quiet, wide tree lined street in the North East area of Pasadena facing the beautiful San Gabriel mountains.. . .very safe, friendly neighborhood. The house has a large sunny backyard that is perfect for entertaining on the brick patio area with lots of comfortable seating and outdoor dining.

There are six fruit trees, 2 large orange tress loaded for your freshly squeezed morning orange juice! Lemon, avocado and pomegranate tree. Numerous rose bushes (of course!).

Old Town Pasadena and The Rose Bowl are just a few minutes away... Just minutes to the 210 Fwy entrance. Los Angeles is 10 miles south on the 110 Freeway, the beaches are 25 miles south and west. 20 minutes from the Burbank Airport, Close to CalTech and the famous Huntington Gardens, 15 minutes from Santa Anita racetrack and Los Angeles Arboretum. There is also a Los Angeles Metro station less than half a mile away (the Allen stop on the Gold Line).

Please also note - I have a guesthouse the "Rose Cottage" I built on the property in the past year - as I travel a lot for work - I se this as my base when I am in town - and might be there during your stay. The guesthouse is VERY private with front and back fences - and this has NO impact on your use of the house, driveway, patio, BBQ or backyard - those are all yours to use.

The house is within walking distance to Victory Park/Sierra Madre Blvd where the Rose Bowl floats are displayed for the two days following the Parade. There is also a local farmers market near the park every Saturday morning with local grown fruits, veggies and bakery items.

I am very happy to negotiate a competitive, great rate if you are seeking longer than a month.

We stayed at this beautiful home for eight days with my family to attend my daughter’s college graduation. This home is complete with all amenities and much more beautiful than described on VRBO. Marla is very helpful. We needed shower chair and mini food grinder for my mom and she arranged it on very short notice. I would like to stay in this home when visiting Pasadena in future.

The VRBO description by the lovely owner is 100% accurate and in reality even better. The home has so much character, in a fabulous location to experience an amazing city, and all the recommendations for dining were spot on. The beds were very comfortable. It seemed very spacious. Our reason for visiting Pasadena was to visit the Huntington Library and Gardens. Gorgeous. We hiked the Eaton Canyon waterfall trail very near and loved the Gamble House - a premier Arts and Crafts home. Ate in Old Pasadena 4 times - MiPiacci was our favorite. Enjoyed shopping in the Lake St. area. Loved just driving around looking at the historic architecture. I've stayed in many VRBOs and this ranks at the top.

This property is just beautiful and Marla was very communicative. She even decorated the house for Easter! She had breakfast for us in the refrigerator because we arrived so late the night before. The neighborhood is beautiful and very walkable. Everything was perfect for our Easter stay and was enjoyed by all!

It is hard to be away from home at the holidays, but this VRBO owner of the English Cottage in Pasadena created such a magical winter wonderland with holiday decorations, we felt right at home. Her well-stocked kitchen gave us all the utensils we needed to bake our favorite Christmas cookies and our holiday traditions for our meals. The neighborhood was very safe for walks even in the evenings and there were lots of shops in the area to grab our essentials. The view of the mountains out the front window was breathtaking and the backyard had plenty of area to sit and chat surrounded by loaded fruit trees. We would definitely stay here again if in the area!

Marla had everything to make our stay as easy as possible. Arrival was super easy and the keyless entry meant we didn't have to worry about carrying (or losing) the key. Since we arrived late, she anticipated we wouldn't have time to shop and had a few breakfast essentials in the fridge. The furniture was all comfortable, towels plentiful and Marla herself was incredibly responsive to any questions. And unlike at home, we didn't run low on toilet paper... Thank you
