Beautiful Home in Great Location

This home was beautifully restored and decorated perfectly. Well equipped for anything you would need. Owner was so helpful and really wanted us to have a great stay. Great outdoor space for eating, relaxing and enjoying a cocktail with awesome views of the mountains. Close to great restaurants and lots of things to do. Only downside was a bit of unexpected road noise.

Phenomenal Property

This home is exactly as it is pictured and described! It is truly a beauty of a home that is spacious and offers such a peaceful feeling. Sitting in the hot tub overlooking the tree lines was a great end to the day. The host was accommodating and was always available even if it was just a suggestion for a great place to eat. I am already looking forward to our next trip and staying at this gorgeous home!

Beautifully restored home

This home is huge and has every amenity needed. View is beautiful, decor is amazing. There are steps inside needed to get to bedrooms/bathroom so take that into consideration but I would highly recommend this for anyone who appreciates beautiful old homes with all of the upgrades! Communication was excellent, check in was easy and home is close to many restaurants and attractions.

Beautiful house in the hills of Pasadena

Beautifully decorated, clean and well stocked house. It feels very luxurious and has just about everything you could ask for to enjoy your stay. Communication with the owner was seamless. Prime location near plenty of restaurants and shops. The only negative is the house is located very close to the freeway so there is traffic noise, especially when hanging outside - we sort of got used to it, but if you are sensitive to noise, it could be an issue.

In town for my daughters wedding

My daughter got married this weekend in Pasadena. We are not from the area so I needed a nice place for her to relax and get ready. The house is spectacular! The fact that this host shares the experience of this property with others is amazing.! My family was able to relax, be together as a family as opposed to hotel and pics of my daughter getting her hair, make up and getting dressed look out of a magazine! Host was helpful and responsive. Great experience !

Can I Give 6 Stars?!

Impressive hillside residence in Pasadena. 5 minutes to old-town Pasadena and also within 2 miles of the Rose Bowl. Master bedroom and 2 guest bedrooms, all 3 have en suite full baths. There's a 4th bedroom (kids) with no bath. Beautiful kitchen and lounging areas and more than enough outdoor deck space. Owner was delightful and very responsive. This home made our trip memorable. We had 3 couples staying and the house never felt crowded. Thank you Jeffery!!!!

Perfection

From the moment we arrived until departure everything was perfect! The house is gorgeous, clean, spectacular views, comfortable, welcoming, etc! I also can’t say enough about how great the host Jeff was! He immediately answered all questions and was so welcoming! My daughter was getting married locally, we had all her bridesmaids come get ready at the house, which was so fun and great for the girls! We got absolutely awesome pictures! I would highly recommend this home to anyone who needs a spot in this area. I will also say the house was impeccably clean! Thank you Jeff for everything!

Dramatic view home in west Pasadena

This was a spectacular house and location for our family gathering. It fully lives up to the great views and architecture shown in the listing photos, and we loved and used the outdoor spaces. We also enjoyed walking from the house - to Old Town Pasadena and through the adjacent neighborhoods. Wonderful also to have kitchen well-stocked with staples. For other travelers, note that the house has a LOT of stairs (no bedrooms accessible w/o stairs) so consider that for groups with mobility-impaired people or little kids. Also, as mentioned by other reviewers, there's lots of freeway noise so be prepared. Neither item affected our enjoyment. Owner was very accessible and helpful.

Incredible Experience - 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

We have used VRBO and other similar websites all over the world (e.g., Faroe Islands, Iceland, Hawaii, St. Martin, London, etc.). This home EASILY surpasses all others. What a rare jewel amongst so many cookie cutter vacation homes. If the website “One Fine Stay” covered the California geography, this is where you would find this Spanish mansion listed. The owners clearly appreciate architecture and history, and have not overlooked a single detail! Every room, nook and cranny of this spacious place considers the guest experience. We were in town for a family wedding, and needed a place that provided a space for togetherness, as well as individual privacy. The ability to rent out both the main house, and to connect a separate apartment was exactly what we needed. The family was attentive to all of where questions, despite the VRBO website slipping up on the delivery of 1 key (instead of two) when we arrived, while being overseas on vacation themselves. We hope to have the good fortune to stay here again. In the meantime, our entire family will be talking about this home as the experience of a lifetime for years to come!

Beautiful and Romantic

Loved our overnight stay, wished we had spent more time to have fully enjoyed the house. Easily accommodated both my family and wife's family. Instructions by the host were clear and easy to reach/communicate with any questions. Secluded feeling but at the same time only a few minutes away from Pasadena and LA. Highly recommend staying here!
