A very comfortable and inviting home with a lovely enclosed garden and a bright modern kitchen. I enjoyed watching the birds splash in the fountain while I drank my morning coffee. An easy walk to shops, restaurants and grocery stores. A very good experience.

My husband, adult granddaughter, and me stayed in this amazing cottage at the end of September into October of 2023. The atmosphere was peaceful and relaxing. The three of us were in awe of the collection of travel artifacts the family collected. The bedrooms were on opposite ends of the cottage providing privacy as well as private bathrooms. The cottage had high-end Viking appliances, which were a great surprise especially because we are foodies that love to cook. We enjoyed watching the squirrels play in the private yard, complete with eucalyptus and persimmon trees. The property was well maintained and stocked with everything we needed...and then some! We were centrally located to restaurants, Pasadena Old Town, and the Rose Bowl, which was our concert venue. Our adventure to Santa Monica Pier was an easy drive.We are expecting return visits to this area over the next few years and will certainly plan to return to this lovely, peaceful cottage.

This was our second visit to Englenook and, like before, it did not disappoint. When traveling alone, I feel safe in this quiet and comfortably welcoming space. It is convenient to all our needs in Pasadena, Altadena, La Canada - the Rose Bowl, Huntington Library and Simon art museum, parks, stores and so on. I have one suggestion for furniture in the common area - a comfortable lounge chair with ottoman (a nice chair is in the master bedroom) - the two long lounging sofas are comfortable if laying on them but not for sitting (and reading a book for example). Just a suggestion - this would not prevent me from coming to this property again soon.

I came to this property for a writing retreat and I couldn't have been happier with it. It's quiet, peaceful and zen-like. The yard is lovely, the bed is comfortable, and the kitchen is well-stocked. It's clean and the instructions for how to use different things (the tv, the bbq, etc.) were very clear. I highly recommend this property.

What a great house! We stayed here while some work was being done on our own home which is less than two miles away but this place felt far more removed. It felt like we were in a mountain cabin even though we were closer to shops etc. than our own place

We had a great stay In Englenook which we have stayed in before. The property is lovely and the secluded garden is a joy to sit in and relax. The house has most of what you need but it does require some care and attention to the details. Essentially everything in the house is getting old and a bit tired. The sofas etc need a deep clean or replacement. The kitchen is a chaotic collection of disparate items and needs more saucepans to easily cook a meal. The outdoor furniture is urgently in need of either new cushions or replacement. Despite all of this, we love the house and it’s location.

The photos are 100% accurate. The property is stunning. It has been lovingly remodeled. The pictures do not do justice to the yard. Despite being in a suburb of America's second largest city, the property feels rural when inside or in the yard. We saw squirrels in the yard every day, and birds bathe in the water feature regularly.
Property management checked in and made themselves available, but we didn't need anything.
We regret scheduling every day away from the property. When we return, we'll try to set aside at least a full day to just relax and read a book in the yard.

Place is very comfortable, and weather was so nice that we ate our meals on the deck.
We will definitely be back.

This is an exceptional property: Craftsman architecture, original artwork, updated and fully-equipped kitchen nestled in a quiet neighborhood with a lovely garden. We stayed for 4 nights and used the home as a base for exploring Pasadena and an easy trip into LA for a Sunday symphony matinee. It was a pleasure to return each day from the hustle and bustle to this beautiful and peaceful retreat. Kate and Kathleen were fast at replying with helpful and detailed tips for driving, etc. Definitely a place to return to.

Great stay in this excellent property. The house is spacious and very well equipped with everything that you might need. The garden is a real oasis of calm in the heart of Pasadena. With multiple seating areas you can enjoy sun or shade throughout the day. We will most certainly book this property for our next visit to Pasadena.

The house is beautiful and tucked away in what feels like a secluded lot but in reality you are a stones throw away from all the modern conveniences. We chose it as a central location to the two major LA area coaster parks, Knotts berry farm and Six flags magic mountain. Also an easy drive to Hollywood, the beach, and the studios near Burbank.
The house is REALLY well equipped and appointed. Everything you need for a comfortable stay in a house is provided from cleaning supplies and linens to everything you would need in a kitchen to cook a meal or bake some cookies.
The hosts from vacation living couldn't have been more responsive or accommodating. I would highly recommend the location of englenook and the company vacation living.

This is a lovely property. Design is appealing, deck and backyard space is wonderful. A quiet neighborhood and we felt very safe. Since we are on the "older" side of things, it could be helpful to have a comfy chair more available in the living space. Still we enjoyed our time here and will likely consider it again in the future.
