ABOUT MY HOME
This traditional farmhouse was designed by noted Los Angeles architect Robert Byrd and built in 1939. Byrd was known for his modern "indoor–outdoor" style that we have tried to live up to and his use of bird houses embedded in the actual structure. You will notice the two bird houses on the front of the house above the windows of the second story. This is a Standalone Construction that is 2,000 square foot home with no shared walls on a 10,000 square foot lot with the original wood floors and brick fireplaces remain in the original rooms of the house. Private, Fenced Side and Backyards. Front yard to street (no fence). House is a on tranquil, low traffic street with no connecting through streets on either side which is a perk the layout of the neighborhood provides. You would be renting the entire property to enjoy and we would not be on the premises.

The house is located in a quiet pocket neighborhood that is 2 blocks by 8 blocks in the heart of Valley Village, California. The quaint 2.09-square-mile Valley Village lies a hop skip and a jump from Universal City, just north of Studio City, east of Sherman Oaks and Encino, southwest of North Hollywood and west of Burbank in the San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles.

I can say that Chad is the best host i have ever dealt with all my rental stays experiences all these years .The place is just perfect for my daughters 16th bday celebration with sleepover with her friends . The neighborhood feels safe . From cleanliness to organization , this place exceeded my expectations .the house and furnitures might be old but the host was able to preserve the beauty of everything for the young generation to enjoy . The back yard is the highlight of the stay .the teens enjoyed the pool Gave me an idea of how i want my backyard to look like . The host was very generous to share the fruits in the backyard so the teens were able to enjoy the experience of fruit picking in the morning . All the pictures taken looks awesome because of all the garden and flowers in front of the house .Thank you for sharing this wonderful place to us . Such a joy even for a short time .

Everything was as advertised. Great property

The yard was great for kids. Although many of the kids toys were broken - we did have to go buy some stuff and left it to pass on. Everything was comfortable clean and in working order. Location super close to Burbank airport. Great communication. Great directions.
5.0
Stayed two nights. Communication with the host from initial contact until the end of our stay was great. Our check-in was seamless and we had all the information we needed about the property and neighborhood before we arrived. Kitchen was well equipped and plenty of seating for our multi generational family. Everything throughout the property was thoughtfully labeled (even the types of trees!) and organized. We enjoyed reading about the history of house. The outdoor space is terrific!
5.0
We absolutely had the best time in the backyard with the pool and hot tub. Everything that you need is labeled and explained at the house - meaning your stay will be easy and peaceful. The fruit trees are so yummy - we had fresh juice one morning. Absolutely a great deal - you will love it!

perfect location to relax in LA for a few days - very quiet neighborhood, wonderful backyard space
5.0
Even though the home is located in the city, you feel as though you are in a quiet suburban neighborhood. The backyard is an oasis with fruit trees, pool/spa, deck and plenty of seating. The inside is very nice and feels very homey. We absolutely loved how organized the home way, we didn't have to wonder what to do or where things were located. Will absolutely stay here again!

Had some friends over,. They were all impressed with the house and garden.

The house was just as described. We especially loved the fruit trees in the backyard. We picked oranges, lemons and grapefruit daily. I made lemon sorbet for the first time and it was delicious, probably due to the freshness of the lemons. The hot tub heated quickly and was great after a long day. Chad was a great host, everything was well appointed and well labeled with easy instructions. We will definitely return when we come back to the LA area. Thank you Chad for opening your home to us.

It was a whirlwind trip for us: coming from WA and NY states on a Thursday afternoon...we met at the airport; attended a college graduation in LA on Friday; and flew to our respective homes on Saturday. There were 4 of us...needing 3 rooms. From Olivera St to Irvine to see family -- strolls on the neighboring beaches to celebrations in the city -- our short time was on-the-go! But some of our most perfect memories will be at this wonderful home. The downtime between the rush was as important as our big-events: and this retreat-stay didn't disappoint. The peacefulness of the sanctuary grounds was a breath of fresh air: the citrus trees; the flowers; the charm that we were in a distant country! Beds were perfect. Bathrooms were clean. The Kitchen well-equipped. And the warm of the farmhouse vibe nestled us all!!! Thank you so, so much for allowing us to enjoy this escape -- when outside our door the world-whirled and beckoned in a whole another way! We'll be BACK!!!! Glad to have found a 'go-to' landing spot for this wonderful corner of the country!!!

Everything was clean and organized. I was able to find everything as needed and communication with the owner was clear and quick.

It was great… loved the house and the backyard was amazing. Felt safe in the neighborhood, but the backyard offered enough privacy that it didn’t feel like the neighbors were so close.
Great communication with the owners or management company if we needed something or needed to let them know what was going on.

This was a perfect relaxing getaway. Such a peaceful charming property. Owner was easy to work with and went above and beyond to make the stay amazing. Highly recommend this place.

This property was exactly what we needed for our LA visit! Coming from the midwest, having abundant fresh fruit in the backyard was a real treat and conveniently located in a safe and clean neighborhood was a plus.
We have family in the LA area, so using the property as a meeting point to host different family members was perfect. Plenty of space to have our private areas, but then to have enough seating for everyone to spread out.
Highly recommend staying here for your next LA trip!

What a unique and lovely home. A cozy, well equipped property with a dreamy garden. Lots of thoughtful attention to details.
5.0
I truly enjoyed this home so much! From the moment I walked in the door I felt at home. The large dining table was perfect for family meals and the kitchen had everything anyone would need to create fantastic meals. The bedrooms had very cozy linens and the beds were so comfortable. I loved the beautiful tile work in the bathrooms and the lovely artwork throughout the home.
The backyard is a true gem! We spent every evening outside enjoying the scenery and watching the kids playing in the pool.
Everything in the home was beautiful and clean. It didn’t feel like a vacation rental at all. In fact it felt more like staying at a dear friend’s home.
The host was great at communicating with us when I had a question. Chad was pleasant and I felt like he truly cares about his guests and this amazing home. 10/10 I would stay here again. Thanks for everything Chad!

Looks exactly like the picture. Very Spacious. Beautiful Backyard. Pool/Jacuzzi was easy to control. Older home so creeks. Bring own vanity mirror lighting as the home is overall dim. Host was very welcoming.

My French family and I were visiting California and was looking for a charming home with a nice pool to enjoy the Los Angeles weather. We definitely found that here! Everything was well organized and detailed for us to settle in comfortably and easily. We enjoyed the pool and slept well with the great beds! Not far from universal studios and other great places! Would definitely book again. :)

The host, Chad was so accommodating with our checkin and thought our stay. The house is absolutely stunning, everything was well maintained and plenty of labels and instructions to figure out all the details of the house. Everything was so easy breezy, we didn’t want to leave! Thank you for having us and if we’re in town again, I will surely be coming back to stay at this home. :D

My family and I recently had the pleasure of staying at this enchanting Southern California rental, and it truly exceeded all my expectations. The moment you set foot on the property, you're greeted with a sense of tranquility and charm that's hard to match.
The farmhouse itself is a picturesque haven, offering a perfect blend of comfort and aesthetics. The mature fruit trees that encircle the thoughtfully landscaped backyard create a stunning natural frame for the main attraction: a beautiful pool and hot tub. It's an oasis where you can relax, unwind, and soak in the Southern California sunshine.
The property's greatest asset is undoubtedly the peaceful ambiance. It's a safe and quiet home base that lets you experience the best of Southern California living. Whether you're looking for a getaway or an extended stay, this place is perfect.
The attention to detail in the landscaping and outdoor amenities is commendable. It provides an inviting atmosphere that invites you to kick back and savor every moment. The location is ideal, offering a break from the hustle and bustle while still being within reach of all the region's attractions.
In summary, if you're in search of a beautiful, quiet, and safe retreat in Southern California, this charming farmhouse is the perfect choice. It's a vacation home that leaves you with cherished memories and a longing to return. Highly recommended

House is located in quiet neighborhood with plenty of restaurants and market places. Was able to Uber to universal studios cheaper than the parking. house is complete with pots and pans for cooking . Plenty of space for family to relax and have a great time. My family and I will definitely be back to Chad‘s house for our next family vacation in California. Thank you Chad for your hospitality.

We really enjoyed our stay here. It's very cozy and comfortable. Reminded us of a cottage (but on a larger scale) we love in Michigan. The outdoor property though smaller than it appears in pictures is very pretty and storybook like. We unfortunately didn't make use of the yard since the weather wasn't being agreeable and sadly the fruit trees were bare- we all agreed we will have to return so we can fully enjoy all this amazing property offers.

We were looking for a place to celebrate our son's 30th birthday with some of his local friends. He was to come from NYC, we were to drive from the Bay Area, and our daughter lives in LA. Chad's place was perfect. It's ideally located in North Hollywood, making it easy to get to from the Bay Area (avoids LA traffic). The backyard with the pool and hot tub was perfect, with plenty of trees that provide a sense of seclusion and welcome shade. And the interior is tastefully decorated, with beautiful wooded accents that make it inviting and cosy. There is a wide driveway, and plenty of street parking, and easy access to shopping and transportation. Chad was super helpful, and always responded quickly to our questions.

Great location, minutes from BUR airport and tons of great food options. We ate our anniversary dinner in Santa Monica at Water Grille, hiked along the coastline in Malibu one day and enjoyed the private pool and hot tub at the house daily. This would be a great place for a family vacay too!

Chad was an awesome host that made the process simple start to finish. The property worked great to host a holiday Luncheon with my team. We decided to try something different vs the typical restaurant and glad we did. My team and I had a great time. The backyard was stunning.

There’s a little something magical about this property. It’s unique and not cookie cutter white. It has personality and charm. As busy professionals, it was the perfect place to get away from work and relax with our children. Everything we needed was there. The pool and hot tub were amazing. We used them every day, rain or shine. We made fresh lemonade from the orchard and had fresh oranges every day.
It’s was a great location and easy to access amenities and quick to universal studios. Chad was easy to get a hold of if needed and quick to answer.
We felt at home and relaxed. Highly recommended!

Those were the sweetest grapefruits I have ever had. The oranges were nice too. Jacuzzi a big plus for relaxing after driving in LA traffic. Chad provided a safe, comfy, drama free stay. His neighbor is part of the local neighborhood watch and she's always home. We're not partiers, so that's exactly the kind of neighbors we wanted. Chad had good communication without hovering or intruding. If I could consistently and politely communicate like he does without my morning coffee I'd start my own VRBO.
5.0
Chad was excellent in terms of communication and detailed instructions about the property. The property itself was the perfect getaway for our family of two kids and two senior dogs, situated in a quiet neighborhood and near lots of things to do. We would love to be back in the warmer months to utilize the pool more.

Thank you so much Chad! Your home was the perfect oasis to stay at while we were visiting the LA area. The home was beautiful, cozy, and so clean! It is also in such a great location, it only took us minutes to get to our destinations. Your attention to detail is greatly appreciated! We rate this a MUST STAY!

This charming home has so much more to offer than any other home we stayed at during our travels. Close proximity to Universal Studios was a plus
Great communication with Chad
