About this house rental

There is a 31 day, monthly minimum stay @ this Property........This Beautiful 1952 mid-century modern home, is located on the hillside in the Pasadena Rose Bowl area; Linda Vista. This Specific location is key. Sitting on 2 acres of land; it is completely surrounded by nature and is unique in the privacy and serenity that it provides.

An Artist's Retreat; This is a rare gem of a home and truly provides a sense of peace and well being as you would find in worldwide retreats. It is a zen hideaway all your own to discover. It has two bedrooms and two renovated bathrooms with Designer Philippe Starck wall hung Toilets and a European Modern Kitchen. A well stocked kitchen makes staying at home for a meal delightful and cozy.The main floor overlooks and surrounds the original pool, which takes center stage, especially @ night when the turquoise blue glows and lights up the back yard. There is a cozy cabana off the poolside. There are two decks that are perched out over the canyon below. The Upper covered balcony has a double bed and is a great spot to stargaze at night and sit with your morning coffee and wath the wildlife on the hillside. There is an original gas fireplace in the living room for cozy nights and floor to ceiling glass panel that make up half the room. Vienna wood floor and original Terrazzo Flooring throughout. This one must be viewed in person to receive the full effect. Sit on the balcony soaking up the sun, take a swim at your private modern tree-house. Do yoga or meditate in the quiet and serenity of the natural surroundings. Regain a sense of yourself and bask in the beauty of your private retreat.

This home is nestled within a private canyon in the Rose Bowl area of Pasadena, California. A short five minute drive from Old Town Pasadena for dining, shopping, movies, museums and groceries. It is a great base for exploring nearby Los Angeles and just far away enough to get lost in the serenity of the natural landscape that surrounds this beautiful zen Hideaway. The house is designed around a refreshing vintage pool. Beds are situated on the covered balconies to sleep under the stars and be one with nature as if in a modern tree-house. Due to the traquility of nature set in a wonderfully private neighborhood that surrounds together with respect for the neighbors there are to be no parties at this home. This home is for those who come to soak in the beauty which surrounds both outdoors as well as from inside this home. A zen base from where to regain your senses.

Let’s discuss your plans…

Thank you. Peace.

“The pictures don’t do this magical home justice. An amazing retreat, quiet and remote yet close to anything you might need or want in Pasadena, Eagle Rock and Highland Park. I feel restored. Can’t wait to go back.”

Peaceful Zen Retreat
Peaceful Zen Retreat
We love this property! A Mid-Century Modern home that is perfectly decorated in a natural minimalist style. Hidden away facing a canyon, it's a great place to view wildlife like deer and see every type of bird including owls. A great place to let go of all the stress that build up in day to day life. Many steps and paths lead to to little reading/meditation/yoga areas all around the property. We slept out on the cantilevered deck that looks over the vast property (not counted as one of the bedrooms, just the spot that seemed most interesting to us)....the smells, sounds and cool night air was perfect for us, and completely private. The pool and pool lounge area felt like an expensive resort. The fireplace in the living room was very romantic. The bathrooms are very beautiful and modern and we took turns soaking in the deep jetted spa tub in the master suite.....ou la la. Very short drive or walk down the hill to all the best restaurants, shopping and museums (don't miss the Norton Simon) that Pasadena has to offer. Love, love, love this place!

Traci's home and property is exceptional. It is as if were staying in our own private park. Yet we were in walking distance to the Rose Bowl and our parade seats on Coronado and Orange. In particular highlights were the hiking trails, watching the deer while having morning coffee on the outside terraces and balconies. Birding is excellent without leaving the property. We also used it as a base to travel to locations in Orange County. Highly recommended.

Breathtaking

Breathtaking about sums it up. When we arrived, Traci was there taking care of details and gave a tour of the house. No matter where you are, you have incredible views of the ravine (may be a canyon - not sure). The decks perch out over the view and allowed us to take some pretty awesome pictures of six deer the morning before we left. The steps up and down the ravine that she has incorporated into the landscape make it easy for most to hike around and enjoy the surrounding area. Although not appropriate for those with walking disabilities, my bad knees did fine. I couldn't take advantage of the outdoors, but my family hopped up and down like little bunnies out there. The bedrooms were situated such that both my daughter and her husband and newborn son had their own "suite" that they enjoyed a lot. Kitchen was well stocked with cooking utensils and pots/pans. Because we were there for Christmas, Traci even put lights in the lemon tree so we had a Christmas tree as well. Thoughtful and attentive - loved every minute of our stay.

BCS Championship Trip. War Eagle! 2014
Six family members and Auburn fans stayed at Traci's beautiful home for the BCS game. Thank you for sharing your exquisite home! The location was perfect! We could actually see the Rose Bowl from the house and walked to the game. Perfect! The pictures were accurate but the house was actually more exquisite, unique and comfortable than we could imagine! Traci's flair for decor, her artwork and furnishings made us feel like movie stars! Zen Hideaway is a perfect name for her house. If we ever go back to Pasadena, I hope we can rent her home again. My sister and I slept on the sleeping porch each night. The best sleep we have had in a while! Traci's was available to us anytime we had questions and since we had to make sure our team was going to the Championship, she pretty much held the house for us until after the SEC game. Thank you Traci! If we come to Pasadena again, I hope we can rent your wonderful home again. War Eagle!

We were visiting Pasadena for the Rose Parade and were interested in a home convenient for the parade. Who knew we'd also found a beautiful home in a peaceful setting. Even though it's close to the Rose Stadium, you still feel away from it all sipping your morning coffee, under a lemon tree watching the hummingbirds and looking out over the mountains. A delightful visit.

Perfect So Cal retreat!
Perfect So Cal retreat!
Where do I start in trying to describe this amazing place? The location is perfect - all the fun of Old Town Pasadena is right down the street, but when you walk into this house you feel a hundred miles away from civilization. The floor to ceiling windows reveal a rustic canyon teeming with wildlife and dotted with agave and cacti. Traci's eclectic decor is surprising and wonderful. The house is stocked with everything you need to have a great visit and reflects how much Traci cares about making your stay memorable. We recently moved back East after 20 years in LA and were desperate for an authentic So Cal experience. As we sat by the pool and watched the sun go down behind the canyon, we realized we had found it. We couldn't have been happier with this fantastic house and plan on a return visit soon. Thanks for sharing your home with us, Traci!

Perfect LA Experience
Perfect LA Experience
We were so happy to have been able to stay at this extremely beautiful and well-appointed home. It is situated in a canyon surrounded by nature. No other houses were in view and we saw deer, hawks, hummingbirds, and heard owls and coyotes. The neighborhood is quiet and there was barely any street traffic. The house is furnished by someone with an eye for perfection--beautiful art and furnishings. The kitchen cabinets were filled with unusual, mostly hand made, bowls and mugs. The drawers were well stocked with everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. I am looking forward to renting the house again!
