About this bed and breakfast

Comfortable, quiet, family-friendly back house retreat in charming South Pasadena!
Escape to this peaceful 700 sq ft private back house nestled in one of the safest and most sought-after neighborhoods in the San Gabriel Valley. This fully self-contained 2-story guesthouse offers the privacy and comfort of home with no shared walls, secure separate entrance, and quiet, respectful neighbors — perfect for families, couples, or anyone looking for a true retreat.

Downstairs you'll find everything you need for a comfortable stay: a full-size futon for lounging or extra sleeping, a well-equipped kitchenette (fridge, microwave, toaster oven, and induction stove), a dining table for shared meals, and a full bathroom. Coffee lovers will feel right at home — we provide a drip coffee maker, French press, coffee grinder, and electric kettle, along with complimentary coffee beans and ground coffee to get your morning started.

Upstairs, unwind in your private bedroom featuring plush carpeting and flexible sleeping arrangements — one queen bed and two twin beds, ideal for families or small groups. The upstairs also doubles as a wonderland for little ones — it's packed with a carefully curated collection of toys, games, and books that families absolutely love. Please note that the bedroom has an A-frame ceiling that starts at 7'6" and slopes downward, so taller guests should mind their heads (we have tape and signs to remind you!). Also note that the bedroom is upstairs and the bathroom is downstairs, so guests should be comfortable with stairs.

Amenities include:

High-speed WiFi
Smart TV
Air conditioning & heating
Pack 'n play and baby gate available for little ones
Basketball hoop in the driveway — ball included!
Long private driveway accommodating multiple vehicles
Electric vehicle charging available ($25 fee per charge)

The neighborhood: Garfield Park is just a 2-minute walk away, with a playground, tennis courts, and wide open green space — a favorite with our family guests. South Pasadena is routinely ranked among the safest cities in California, with tree-lined streets, a charming walkable downtown, and great local coffee shops and restaurants all within walking distance. The Metro Gold Line is a 15-minute walk (0.9 miles), and the location puts you close to the Rose Bowl, Dodger Stadium, Universal Studios, Downtown Los Angeles, and many of the area's best museums.

Whether you're visiting family, exploring Southern California, or just need a comfortable and peaceful home base — you'll love it here.

We felt very comfortable in the neighborhood. Walking through Garfield Park to get to restaurants was nice, even after the sun went down because it was still full of families with small kids and people walking their dogs. And no worries about our car as we were able to park behind a locked wooden gate.

We needed to stay close to family in South Pas and this perfectly fit the bill. Clean and totally functional for our group of three. Steps upstairs were a little steep but very large sleeping space and very comfortable beds. Highly recommend.

We came into Pasadena for a couple days and found this little gem on the VRBO site. It was perfect for our needs, very clean and able to sleep 5-6 easily. We would look to stay here again if we come back to Pasadena. Thanks!
