We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful Altadena home over Thanksgiving. The moment we arrived, we were struck by how peaceful and inviting the property felt. The garden is truly special — lush, well-kept, and full of charm — and the pool made the stay feel like a relaxing retreat.The home itself was spotless, comfortable, and perfectly equipped for our visit. What made the experience exceptional, though, was our host. They were incredibly responsive, thoughtful, and easy to work with from start to finish. Every detail was handled with care, and we felt genuinely welcomed throughout our stay.We couldn’t have asked for a better place for our family to spend the holiday. Highly recommend — we would absolutely stay here again!

Super backyard, kind and accessible host

Been coming to this area for 30 years as my wife grew up a mile away. The backyard is a treasure, one I’m so pleased their family didn’t lose in the fire. I’d gladly stay here. Great place and the hosts were kind and very prompt with communication. Effectively a perfect experience.

Beautiful Home, Beautiful Garden, Beautiful Stay

This is a 5 star property in a nice neighborhood. The house is very well appointed for a comfortable stay. There is everything you need in the kitchen to create a nice meal. The garden is large and private with at least five separate seating areas to enjoy. Pool and spa were great, especially the in-pool shaded seating for two. Good for morning walks with trails nearby as well.

Great family stay

The home was exactly as pictured and a perfect place for a visit with kids and grandkids. It is rare to find a rental property outfitted with exactly what is needed in every space and furnished with such taste and quality. Mature and carefully tended garden adds to ambiance. A problem with swimming pool was attended to by owner and we did get a day of use. Would definitely stay again and recommend this property.

Loved this house! We needed a place for our family to all stay in Pasadena for our son's wedding. The house fit the bill perfectly. We have stayed in a number of VRBO houses and this one had the BEST stocked kitchen of them all. Everything was top notch. The outdoor space and pool were great. We had a couple of dinners under the lanai in the backyard and cooled off in the pool the day we arrived. We had enough bedrooms and bathrooms for our party of 7. The owner was very responsive when we had a question. If we need a place for a large group again in the area, I hope we can book this house. It was great to have such a nice place to stay on this festive weekend.

Wonderful CALTECH Graduation Weekend

We loved this property. We were in Pasadena for our daughter's graduation from CALTECH and this was the perfect place for us and her grandparents to be. Wonderful home. Beautiful and private backyard. Short drive to campus. It was perfect. I wish we had found this place sooner as we would have stayed here when we visited her over the years.

Like having our own private resort!

We loved our stay at this property. The outdoor space is beautiful and more comfortable and inviting than the pictures led us to believe. We spent most of our 5 days out there during our November visit. We ate all of our family dinners at the big table, warmed by the overhead heater. The kitchen is incredibly well-stocked. We prepared a large Thanksgiving feast and had EVERYTHING we needed to prepare and serve the meal to a large group. Would definitely stay here again!

Had a great stay at this home, the yard and kitchen are great. Could use a bigger TV watching area but all we enjoyed our stay here. The hot tub and BBQ grill were great as well.

Super location, great house

We went to the Breeders’ Cup races at Santa Anita and Altadena is an excellent location. Less than 15 minutes to the track. Also, we like to walk for exercise and lots of options. Easy walk to the hills with some super trails. House is very comfortable. Great water pressure for showers. Well outfitted kitchen. Easy in and out from the street. Quiet area and nice pool. Spend one day just relaxing by the pool. Life is good. Really good host. Super responsive. If we are in the area, we would definitely return.

Multi-Generation Gem

This is a beautiful house in a beautiful setting that is perfect for a family gathering. The backyard and garden area make you never want to leave! As many have stated, the kitchen is fully stocked, the beds are comfortable, and there is plenty of space to be together or retreat if you need a break from the louder people in your group. Ha! Greg was a fantastic host who was quick to respond with any questions we had. The location was perfect, and the area provided as much or as little as you want to do. Thank you, Greg, for opening your home to us. We loved every minute of it. Happy New Year!

About the host

Hosted by Greg Hoxworth

Host profile image
We have raised our kids here. We have renovated the house several times. Living here is like being on vacation for us. But now that we travel, it is great to share it with you.

Why they chose this property

We are still living in the home most of the time, but travel for pleasure quite often and therefor, thought it would be interesting to share with others. We love the house, the neighborhood, the nearby outdoor space in the canyons and mountains. It is close to all the amazing attractions of the San Gabriel Valley and close to downtown.
The house is very attractive to visitors who want to have small gatherings or parties. We have had graduation events, rehearsal dinners, wedding brunches, family gatherings of all sorts. Gathering require some additional deposits and payments but we do accommodate.

What makes this property unique

It has great outdoor entertaining space and furniture and we will allow certain types of events and gatherings for our guests. There is additional costs and an addendum that must be signed to hold events.
