About Michael and Laura Palazzolo
Hello! We are Laura and Michael Palazzolo.
We were both born and raised in Los Angeles, but we have been fortunate to have traveled all over the world, and we look forward to hosting travelers from near and far.
We met working at Universal Studios Tour may years ago, and we still live only a few minutes away from one of the most popular tourist attractions in Los Angeles.
Laura knows a lot about homes as a director for many shows on HGTV (Home and Garden Television) - She is currently working on the network's #1 show 'House Hunters' and travels all over the country on a regular basis.
Michael also used to work in Television production, and he is now devoting his time and attention to being an excellent vacation rental host.
Our favorite American city besides Los Angeles is Chicago, IL and our favorite vacation destination is Hawaii. Michael's heritage is Italian, and Italy is our very favorite country to visit!
And the current song that that makes us happy is what else: 'HAPPY' by Pharell Williams! And that is how we want you to feel when you check in and check out of our 'Contemporary Cottage'!
Michael and Laura Palazzolo purchased this cottage in 1993
Why Michael and Laura Palazzolo chose Los Angeles County
This cozy cottage is tucked away in the back of a historic property built in 1936, and has some Hollywood history attached to it. The original owners were famous movie stars named Joan Blondell and Dick Powell. At the height of their career, they bought this Sherman Oaks ranch as a 'country home' that originally included horse stables and a chicken coup. This special home has had only four owners in over 70 years. The current owners are the Palazzolo Family who have happily lived here for more then 20 years.

A relaxing oasis in the Valley
This charming, well tended Guest House overlooking a courtyard and pool had all the amenities needed to make my hectic, week-long stay visiting family in Sherman Oaks feel like a real vacation. Host Michael goes the extra mile to pamper, including a welcome bottle of lovely wine. The sun-dappled garden and pool deck offered the perfect "wake up" spot for morning coffee, reading and digital pursuits. Easy access to major highways and shopping. A memorable experience; thanks, Michael!
Family Fun Vacation
Our family had so much fun staying at the Sherman Oaks Cottage, the kids enjoyed the pool after long days at the Amusement Parks and my husband and I enjoyed the beautiful quit garden. If we're ever back in the Sherman Oaks area, we will have to look you up again.
The Hines Family
It was just perfect.
We had a week at this cottage and really enjoyed our stay here,
It had all we needed for our trip including a lovely big pool to cool
off in. Cottage was really clean, and had a well equipped kitchen.
We liked the quite area also.
The hosts were really helpful and very friendly.
We intend to return to this cottage for another California trip very soon.

Charming and comfortable cottage!
Michael was a wonderful host and made sure we had everything we needed to enjoy our stay!
Everything we were hoping for and more.
During our weeks stay we were able to quickly reach all of the attractions we came to enjoy. We were pleasantly surprised by the enjoyment we found just sitting in the beautiful cottage gardens, the taste of fresh oranges right off the tree and the hours and hours our children spent splashing around blissfully in the pool.
We felt very welcomed and cared for. From the well equipped kitchen to a laundry room we had the comforts of home with the luxury of gorgeous gardens, wonderful pool and a great proximity to so many wonderful attractions. We hope to be back again and highly recommend the cottage to anyone thinking of coming to LA.
A perfect oasis for our family.
Michael and Laura have the perfect, private cottage for your LA stay. The pool is large and has a great deep end. We spent our days out exploring and enjoyed our evenings grilling, and lounging while the kids swam.
Michael was always quick to respond with answers to questions but also made sure we had complete privacy.
We will be back!
