This is a jewel of a house within walking distance to both Old Town Pasadena and the Rose Bowl. Built in 1909 and meticulously preserved as well as generously furnished in period pieces, it more than surpassed our expectations. Communication with the owners was excellent and they were always very responsive. We would not hesitate to recommend this rental.

Fantastic stay while Mom’s house was being repaired. Sheila and Tom were amazing hosts and we really appreciate their kindness and hospitality!
The house is very comfortable for two couples or small families. The location is great as well.

We needed a dog friendly property with a fenced yard and we couldn't have been happier with this rental. Be advised, it's right next to a freeway, but very quiet inside. Super comfortable bed, great kitchen, and the hosts were responsive and helpful. Would absolutely stay again.

Excellent home and hosts
Very well appointed and beautiful home with great hosts. Convenient location. Exceeded our expectations. Sheila and Tom have created a true home away from home and go out of their way to make sure you are welcome and comfortable.

Pasadena Beauty
Everything about this property was amazing. My parents stayed there over the holidays to help with our newborn baby. Sheila and Tom were amazing hosts, giving them special attention and giving us all the inside info for nearby rose parade on New Year's day. Because it was an extended stay (over 2 months) the house was a perfect home away from home for my parents and brother. There was bi-weekly maid service and when any issues arose Tom was there to fix them immediately. The craftsman style home is beautifully maintained with thoughtful upgrades and an acute sense of detail. We just loved bringing the baby over for visits on the front lawn or in their very comfortable and cute living room. Parking was totally easy inside the gated property and things like the hot tub and the bidet were luxurious little perks! We will definitely be reaching out to them again when my parents next visit.

A Warm Comfortable Home
My family of 4, with occasional visits by the in-laws, had an amazing 50 day stay in this immaculate craftsman home while remodeling our home elsewhere in Pasadena. Shelia was an excellent and responsive host who took care to ensure we had everything we needed while respecting our privacy. The property is clearly loved, with noticeable meticulous care down to the finest details. We also really enjoyed the location. Being walking distance to both Old town and the Rose bowl aquatic center/playground made being away from home much easier.
