We had a wonderful stay in the Garden Casita. The bed was comfortable, the kitchen was very nice, and the yard is fantastic! We were in town for Thanksgiving with the relatives which live close by so I appreciated having such a nice kitchen to make food in. We loved the wooden ceiling and the way it is decorated is very nice. So many nice and thoughtful touches to make our stay comfortable.

We had a wonderful stay at the casita. The place is very well set up and comes with access to a lovely backyard. We enjoyed sitting outside during the day. There is also an outdoor fireplace although we did not use it. The interior is beautifully decorated and the bed and sofa were very comfortable. Great little find in a lovely neighborhood.

Our hosts were welcoming and helpful with first hand information of places to eat etc. They were conversational without being hovering and gave us the opportunity to take advantage of their outdoor space. The Casita itself was one of the most efficient/perfectly appointed and beautiful spaces that we have ever stayed in and its proximity to main roads, freeways and things to do was second to none.

We wanted to make sure to leave a 5* review for this stunning Casita in LaCanada/Flintridge so that others would know how absolutely wonderful our stay was. We were there for 8 nights and it was so comfortable and perfectly appointed with anything you might need. The gorgeous and huge backyard which included a pool, spa, gas fire table and grill were all available for our use. Doug and his family were so welcoming and helpful. We found that this was the perfect location to do day trips to explore all of the beauty surrounding LA. Coming home each night to our cozy, beautiful Casita was an absolute joy. All of the amenities and finishes were high end including the towels and bedding. We would highly recommend this VRBO and would stay here again.

Fantastic Stay!

The pictures of this location do not do it justice - just gorgeous! The property is easy to access and has all the modern amenities at your disposal. Location is perfect, peaceful with shops/restaurants just down the street and easy access to highway for travel to all the local sights - win/win! The host was incredibly friendly and gave us our space as well as some great suggestions of local scene to take in. Incredibly responsive as well! Give stars, couldn't recommend more highly!

The Casita is great! I highly recommend it. Doug was an excellent host. The Casita was well appointed with everything we needed. The bed was comfy and the set-up worked great for us. The hot tub and pool were wonderful! The outdoor space was great and well maintained. Dogs and cats on the property were a fun bonus. Location is great. Near lots of great restaurants, coffee shops, Target and grocery stores. Parking on the property was convenient and a plus. Would definitely stay here again!

Brief Stay in La Canada Flintridge

The property is conveniently located off the 210 Freeway in a quiet neighborhood. The property is a 1939 Casita next to the main house with guaranteed parking. The property is beautifully decorated with fast WiFi and many streaming services on the two flat panel TVs. There is a full kitchen that is generously stocked with spices and cooking oil and it has all the necessary cooking implements. The casita has access to a spacious and serene backyard space with your own patio and fire pit as well as access to the pool. The dogs and cats on the property are very friendly. The hosts are on site and accessible via the VRBO app for any questions and made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. You feel like you have your own private space. This location is less than a mile from shopping and eateries and close to the mountains and Pasadena. This is a perfect place for a peaceful getaway in nature or a great place for family out of town to stay to attend graduation at the nearby high schools. I highly recommend this location as it is comfortable, private, and its amenities far exceed what other rentals tend to offer.

We just love staying in the Garden Casita and fell right at home with our two dogs! In fact, our stay is more like a fun vacation for the dogs than for us! They have a blast running around the yard and playing with the two "host" poodles. The Garden Casita is clean, inviting, and extremely comfortable. Its located right off the freeway and makes access to Pasadena and Los Angeles very easy. Yet, it is also located far enough away from noisy roads to be quiet.

Heavenly Casita!

My husband and I spent 2 nights at this wonderful La Canada Casita. It has such a warm and welcoming vibe with all the finest finishes and conveniences. The yard is best described as an oasis where we enjoyed having our morning coffee and our pup had a blast exploring and sniffing new smells. The owner, Doug, was easy to communicate with and made sure that we had everything we could possibly need for a pleasant get away. We look forward to coming back very soon!

Beautiful casita in LA

This might be my favorite short term rental! I will no longer stay at the Westin when I am in LA. The casita is immaculately decorated and contains everything one could need. For example, both sides of the bed have a multi prong power cord just waiting to be used. The shared outdoor space is movie star worthy and the owner was always prompt and thoughtful.
