About this property

Keep Cool in the Poolside Shade at a Charming Encino House

Serve breakfast in a gazebo in a leafy backyard. Stride across flagstones and slip into a tranquil pool. Snooze in a hammock. Return indoors to cook in a family-style kitchen. Discover a spa-like room and relax in a hot bath, or daydream in a beautiful succulent filled garden.

Gorgeous guest home South of Ventura Blvd with parklike grounds and pool. Heart of celebrity studded Encino. Attached to the main residence by a sealed hall, this 5-Star oasis is a separate 1800 sq. ft. residence with own private entrance. Two queen beds, plus two pull out full sized beds and single mattress for kids. Sunlit ensuite-bathroom with double sink, large soaker-tub and shower upstairs. Dwn-Strs bathroom has large shower. Huge walk-in closet upstairs. Loft area with cathedral ceilings creates open feel for entertaining or relaxing. Fully equipped kitchen with service for eight. 2 flat-screen T.V.’s with full list of Direc-TV channels and hi-speed internet access.
Shopping, restaurants, grocery, Starbucks and Jamba Juice less than a mile. Getty Museum and Universal Studios are a short drive, and Disneyland is under 45 miles. Close access to westside of Los Angeles (Beverly Hills, Century City, Santa Monica, etc.), and less than one mile from some of the best hiking trails in the city.

You'll have access to:
Remote gated driveway entry
Entire guest home
Private Entry
Entire Backyard & Pool
Private Parking

We are here for our guests anytime, and usually never more than a few minutes away.

Located in an enclave of multi-million dollar residences, the Encino area is home to many celebrities, and is one of the most desirable neighborhoods in all of Los Angeles. Explore close by Ventura Boulevard, a 20-mile stretch of shopping, restaurants, eclectic shops and more. Centrally located to Beverly Hills, beaches, museums and downtown, this area truly has it all.

Please note that we have 2 very friendly dogs that live in the main residence. They are NEVER allowed in the guest house, whether we have guests in residence or not. If you or your family has an allergy or is otherwise disinclined to be around dogs, it's quite easy for us to make sure that they are confined to areas where guests won't interact with them when they are coming, going or in the backyard. If not, and you'd like to meet our pooches, then "woof-woof," because they'd love to meet you!....

Peaceful retreat

Katherine and Logan have created a peaceful, relaxing, secure, comfortable and veery clean space. While our face-to-face was brief, they are very kind and respond quickly to any inquiries. The listing is exactly as described and as other reviews have mentioned, the backyard garden is gorgeous. The squirrels, hummingbirds, and birds enjoyed their morning as much as the guests. There was plenty of space, comfortable beds and a plus to have found a property with two bathrooms. The downstairs shower had great water pressure. I can't say enough positive things about the space and hope to return in the future.

About the host

Hosted by Logan Landers

Why they chose this property

We've been in Encino for almost 30 years, and wouldn't want to live anywhere else in the Los Angeles area. Convenient, beautiful, centrally located and close to some of L.A.'s best hiking trails.

What makes this property unique

Our home, Crickethaven is in one of the City's best nabes. The house feels like a retreat. We're particularly proud of our backyard. A true oasis.
