The Rose Cottage is clean, comfortable, and well-appointed. We love Sierra Madre, and it’s location makes it easy to get to LA and other areas in SoCal. Perfect!

Our return to Rose Cottage was just as wonderful as our first stay 2 years ago. Everything is so pretty, comfortable, and well maintained. We love the neighborhood and location with mountain views. Sierra Madre is a little oasis from all the hustle & bustle of the LA area. We visit family in LA every 1-2 years and this will continue to be our 1st choice for home base.

My cousin and I had a great time! Check in was easy, house equipped with everything we needed! Adorable home. Within walking distance to downtown Sierra Madre, coffee shops, breakfast, and Taylor’s market. Thank you!!!

The Rose Cottage has become our home away from home when we visit our family in the LA area. Always clean, comfortable, and convenient. Sierra Madre has plenty of restaurants and coffee shops, all within walking distance if you don’t mind hills. If you don’t feel like hiking there’s plenty of public parking downtown.

The property is clean and comfortable, and in a quiet neighborhood. The kitchen is well-appointed with everything you need to prepare simple meals and even Christmas cookies. We love Sierra Madre and look forward to our next visit.

The previous reviews accurately detail the pleasant accommodations. We loved the city and surrounding area. Walked from the cottage to downtown several times.
However there were negative aspects of our visit. The first one was the lack of information provided for us to access the cottage. I had received an email from VRBO a few days before our visit. The subject was "Here are the keys to your trip!" So we assumed the entry instructions were included. When we arrived at the property after a two hour traffic slog from LAX I opened the email. The email advised that "The host hasn't provided arrival information yet. For the most up-to-date info, contact the property manager directly."
So I figured no problem I would just access the property manager information through the VRBO app. Apparently there are long standing problems with the VRBO app and IOS devices. We repeatedly attempted to access the app while using cell service while standing in the property driveway. We failed.
After 15 minutes of trying we left and called the VRBO customer service number. They eventually put us in touch with the property manager. We also determined we could use the app with Wi-Fi we later accessed in town.
Another first was the required $1750 security deposit. The VRBO site indicates $250? I asked the property manager why ours was so high. I did not receive an answer.

A beautiful property that was very clean and had all the amenities we wanted. We stayed here for almost a week with our 2 kids while visiting family in the area and had a great stay. We loved the location and felt safe walking in the neighborhood and to the downtown area. Loved having the washer and dryer available as well! Definitely would stay here again the next time we are in town!

This was our 3rd stay at this super cute cottage. We continue to come back because the location is perfect for our family and the house is so comfortable well taken care of. Lots of details to keep with the French country style theme!

The cottage was wonderful, cozy yet spacious for my husband, myself and our four children when we came in town for a weekend family reunion. Sierra Madre is a sweet, quiet and hidden gem in Los Angeles and I am so glad we got the chance to stay and enjoy our time here. Thank you Kim & Justin!

A Real Gem of a Place!
This cottage is so charming in every way. It is located in the quaint little town of Sierra Madre with a mountain view from the living room. The neighborhood is quiet and within walking distance to some great food finds (Mother Moo Creamery & Roe Fusion). Because the cottage was so pretty and comfortable, we made sure to include some vacation down time in order to enjoy relaxing in the beautiful surroundings. I would love to come back!

Relaxing
All good except for the bed in first bedroom squeaked terribly. The ping pong table was dirty and difficult to play on because it was at a bad angle and floor was uneven. Disappointing. Pictures are deceiving. The house itself was beautiful. We did enjoy our stay.

Perfect retreat.
The Rose Cottage is fantastic. A great vacation home while in town visiting my son. House is comfortable and beautifully decorated. Close to downtown Sierra Madre, Pasadena, and downtown LA. We can't wait to come back.

Beautiful Cottage
What a great home to return to after a long day of exploring! The neighborhood is classic Pasadena and the home was the cutest, cleanest cottage with a great vibe. Favorite part is the back patio and hammock. I would definitely stay there again when I return to town!!

A beautiful cottage in the most lovely location
We enjoyed our stay so much! My friend and I were attending a music festival at the Rose Bowl stadium and wanted to be in close proximity. We were more than pleasantly surprised with this location. What an absolutely stunning cottage in a wonderful, quaint and beautiful neighborhood. We walked to town to have a delicious dinner and just enjoyed everything so much! We didn't want to leave! Thank you!

Very sweet, peaceful place.
The rose cottage is just lovely. We were so busy we didn’t get a chance enjoy the ping pong table or the outside patio area as much as we would have liked. When we visit the Pasadena area again to visit our son, we will definitely be staying here.

Rose Parada
We had a wonderful time. House was clean and property was as expected. We took this trip to see the Rose Parade. The house was in a quiet location. There are lots of things close to visit. The LA Arboretum is just down the street, And it was great to see, they still had light up for Christmas.

Just about perfect.
The cottage is perfect for a short or extended stay. The owners are very responsive if a need arises. The cottage itself is super clean and stocked with everything from linens to coffee and tea. It’s bright and cheery. Close to town if need be, but in a quiet and safe neighborhood. We would definitely return.

A superb cottage in a convenient location
We were in Sierra Madre for a long weekend with extended family to attend a memorial service. We did not spend much time using the wonderful resources of Rose Cottage because we were so busy. But it was the perfect retreat for three adults at the end of each day. We will return!!!

Lovely Cottage
We so enjoyed our stay! Everything was super clean & it was obvious the owners had spent a lot of time making the cottage beautiful and comfortable. Lots of extra touches were everywhere. A coffee buffet, detergent for the washer, I can’t name them all.

Perfect house for a small family
We loved the house, which fit our needs perfectly during our stay in Pasadena. The neighborhood was safe and the mountains and nature were spectacular. The location was also close to stores, hikes, the arboretum, and family we were visiting. We would definitely consider stay again in the future if possible (and available).

Perfect in Every Way!
We spent a week at the Rose Cottage and could not have found a more perfect place for four people. It was impeccable; very clean and beautifully decorated. Kim and Justin have thought of everything their guests could possibly need. We made many meals in the well-stocked kitchen. The appliances are great quality and the washer and dryer are the best we have ever found in a rental. The outdoor space is very inviting and peaceful. We had a great time playing ping-pong; wonderful entertainment. Would definitely return as this is a great place to relax in a wonderful town!

Exquisite and roomy cottage surrounded by roses
This beautifully decorated cottage is a rose lovers dream. Nestled at the foot of the Sierra Madre mountains, it provides a lovely experience in lodging with top of the line appliances and amenities. Both indoors and out it is a memorable way to experience Southern California.

Dream Weekend In Rose Cottage
We had a lovely long weekend at the Rose Cottage. We met up with our daughter and her family, who live a block and a half away. We were able to finally meet our new granddaughter, who just turned four months old. The cottage was a perfect meeting place for all of us together. Our older granddaughter loved the yard- and the pebbles, and we all had fun with the ping pong table. The house was immaculately cleaned and decorated with great taste and charm. Great fun to walk in surrounding neighborhoods and to enjoy the beauty of Sierra Madre. We will use this house as our “place” in future visits to Sierra Madre.

We had the honor and pleasure to stay at Rose Cottage for over a month while our own home was under construction. Justin and Kim were gracious hosts and Rose Cottage is beautiful and comfortable. I'm not sure I can express how much we loved staying there. This place had everything we needed to live comfortably. Kim replenished supplies as needed. Washer, dryer, dishwasher, microwave, toaster, spices, some dry goods, dishware galore, Keirig machine, electric kettle, big mugs, bath soap, make up remover, Q tips, hair dryer, first aid kit, bubble bath, even cozy blankets to curl up with. They thought of everything. The beds are very comfortable and have luxurious, high end linens that feel like you're sleeping on a cloud. In fact, we were impressed with the high quality of everything, including the bath towels. We will always have fond memories of Rose Cottage and hope to stay again soon. Enjoy your stay...we sure did!
