About this house rental

Nestled in Glendale, this charming house for $402 per night is a great option for your next vacation. SPECIAL: RENT FOR 2 WEEKS FOR A 20 % DISCOUNT! 4 WEEKS: 30 %! ALSO: SEE IMPORTANT NOTE BELOW! WELCOME to our beautiful, super-safe sanctuary in the trees, high above the traffic and bustle of LA, in the stunning Verdugo Woodlands foothills of Glendale. You will have three bedrooms of a two-floor classic Spanish home, complete with turrets, red-tile roof and adobe walls. Huge yard with sitting area, two dining areas, gas grill. At night, you will hear an owl - maybe all three! Every now and then, deer and coyote pass through the yard. It's QUIET, yet it's only minutes from the shops and restaurants of classic Montrose and La Cañada/Flintridge, and Glendale's Galleria and Americana malls. Easy access to Downtown LA, the Santa Monica Pier and the Pacific Ocean. Fifteen minutes to Pasadena or Burbank. Abundant hikes to the waterfalls in the Verdugo and San Gabriel mountains. Two bedrooms each feature double beds. Living room and "hacienda room" feature comfortable sleeping couches. The owners, a novelist and a journalist, welcome you to their home, a truly unforgettable place. IMPORTANT NOTE: This tranquil property is located up a steep hill and the driveway is not navigable. Guests will have to walk up 100 steps to reach the front door, equivalent to a 6th-floor walkup. It is worth the hike! But only for those who like the trek!

READ THIS BEFORE YOU EVEN THINK OF BOOKING THIS PLACE! Booked this stay over the 2022 Christmas holiday. Due to weather-related delays by the airline, our arrival at the property was delayed by a couple days, but we of course notified the host via the VRBO site as soon as we learned of the delay. Upon arrival on the afternoon of Dec. 26th, we found the property already occupied. Rather than confront the occupants, we made other arrangements with family nearby. The condition of the property bore little resemblance to the picturesque description and 43 photos on the VRBO site. We were particularly unimpressed with the caution tape, toilet sitting out front, and the completely disheveled state of the front porch area. After receiving no response to our inquiries of the host, we reached out to VRBO support to request assistance. We ultimately received a 100% refund from VRBO, due to their not being able to contact the host either. To date, the host has not responded to a single message. In years of booking stays through VRBO and similar sites, this is the first time I have ever had to leave a negative review. I sincerely hope that this was all just some big misunderstanding, but word to the wise: cancel your booking immediately if the host does not respond to the initial greeting when booking. This is not a mistake I'll be likely to repeat.

I’ve been to Los Angeles countless times, and my wife and I both agree this was the best stay we’ve had! Wonderful home, wonderful neighborhood, highly recommend going to visit old historic Montrose! Sandy and his family are the nicest!

This beautiful home has warmth and character and we felt so lucky to have found this gem! We had everything we needed, it was quiet and secluded yet close lots of great restaurants, shops, and musuems, great communication from the hosts, and got our post-holiday exercise in on the steps. Perfect stay!

We had a great time relaxing in this amazing character hilltop home. The backyard is perfect! Yes, several steps up, but absolutely worth it! Thank you to our lovely, responsive host. Hope to be back!! Thank you!

Fun and Eclectic

Fun and Eclectic

This was a beautiful little getaway in the California hillside. The home has very eclectic accents and is super fun to look around. The owners were so accommodating ensuring we arrived and that we had all we needed. Only two items of note: the stairs are harder than they appear ;) - at least for me. But we made it. The other being there is a tenant unit below the main house. The tenants were hardly noticeable and we did not get a chance to chat with them really but seemed nice. Although there were fireplace restrictions due to dryness of surrounding hillside, the outdoor areas were very relaxing and enjoyable. Overall we loved our stay and would definitely stay again - but would prep for the extra exercise. Ha! Thanks so much again for your hospitality and kindness Sandy and Andrea. Really appreciate it.
