Perfect home in a great location

We loved our stay at the Hartsook Guest House! The rooms are spacious, the furnishings are lovely and so comfortable, and the neighborhood is excellent. The house has absolutely everything we needed, including a fruit and snacks basket that was most appreciated upon our arrival. Helen and Diana are very responsive and accommodating. This is the second property we have rented with them, and we will never go anywhere else. Thank you for a most pleasant stay!

Idyllic property!

Hands down one of the best vacation rentals ever! It’s such a sweet property and the attention to detail is amazing. The cottage itself is attached to a main house, but feels completely private. Every space is tranquil, especially the master bedroom, enclosed front patio, and large backyard with a hammock. The house is well equipped with everything you could possibly need, and the owner Helen was quick and responsive to my texts throughout my stay. Overall this was an absolute gem of a place to stay while we searched for a home to buy in the area.

Between homes

The Hartsook House was the ideal home while we waited to buy and remodel our new condo. The house is very tastefully decorated, has everything and more than you need, and is in a very quiet and peaceful neighborhood, close to a park for exercise or walking. Helen, The property manager, was very responsive to a few special requests and the house was actually nicer than advertised. We thoroughly enjoyed it.

Spacious, quaint, cozy, convenient

We enjoyed our visit! Several locations to relax in the private back yard, spacious living room and front patio. Kitchen was very well stocked. Great mattress in the master bedroom. Plenty of space for 3-4 adults and having a second full bath was perfect. The place is clean, cozy and very comfortable. Quiet neighborhood but easy access to the highway. Check in was a breeze. Our host was responsive and easy to connect with, but we had no need to reach her. We loved the place, had no issues, and would definitely stay here again!!

A hidden retreat

We were greeted with fresh flowers in every room and a basket or organic fruit and other treats. The property is attached to a main house but is so private and hidden you would never know there is anyone next door. The unit is beautifully appointed, spotless and the extra amenities make you feel like you are a guest in someone's home not in a rental. The place is prettier than is pictured. What you cannot see in pictures is that it is equipped with extra feather pillows, every toiletry you might have forgotten, laundry soap, a first aid kit, a desk with supplies, fully stocked supplies in the kitchen -baggies, napkins, foil, fragrant candles. The furnishings are comfortable with several throws and pillows, the towels are soft and plentiful, the place is spotless and a parking spot off the street! Helen is responsive and gracious in every way. If you get the chance, I absolutely recommend you stay here.

Home Away From Home

We stayed in Helen's place for 3 months while we were searching for a home - we sold our home in AZ and moved to California to be near our children and grandchildren. The place couldn't have been better. The little house was stocked with everything you could possibly need from spices and seasonings to laundry detergent. We felt right at home and our 2 little dogs loved hanging in the gazebo and roaming around the fenced in backyard. If there was a problem (only 2 times we needed someone to come fix a toilet) Helen had someone come that day .The home was situated in a wonderful part of town with plenty of restaurants and shopping. Helen recommended many places for us to do our shopping and eating. We highly recommend this property.

Wonderful spot!

We had a great 3 week stay. Close to a market for necessary goods, great place to walk, close to Magnolia Blvd. and our grandson (in Burbank) and close to freeways. A very relaxing, quiet, lovely spot. We hope to do it again next year. Helen and Diane were very quick with answers to any questions and very helpful. SK from PA

Just as lovely, comfortable & convenient as advertised

This was the most pleasant VRBO stay we've had -- partly because of the location, gardens and interior decor, partly because of how thoughtfully and well-provisioned it is -- just like a real homey home. And partly because of Helen's responsiveness to our questions ahead of time. We were delighted, and are already planning to reserve when we come to LA again next fall.

North Hollywood Getaway

I recently stayed at the Hartsook Guest House and found the house charming and comfortably relaxing. The house had all the things one might need when traveling. The house was conveniently located near a bus route that connected us with the LA Metro. The house had plenty of space for my family of four to spread out and relax. We felt safe in the neighborhood with the doors open and enjoyed watching a squirrel in the backyard. This retreat home is a hidden gem in the city. We plan on returning again.

Absolutely amazing property!! 😊

We have rent several houses trough Home Away but this has been far one of our favorites. The house itself is beautiful, kitchen is packed with everything you need and even more. Very high quality all the way around from towels to pillows, comforters, shampoo, conditioner the list goes on an on. They absolutely tough of everything to make their guests feel comfortable and at home. Neighborhood is nice and quiet and very close to Universal Studios. Last but not least the backyard is perfect with lot of trees, barbecue and a beautiful hammock to relax on after a fun day. So to say the least it was really hard to go back home we had an absolutely perfect stayed and we will for sure visit again soon! Thank you very much for the wonderful memories my family was able to make in your beautiful place.

Valley Village Wedding Weekend

We were 2 couples enjoying the house as our base during a wedding weekend. While the house is nicely appointed the 2nd smaller bedroom would be more welcoming if it was more well appointed as the master suite is. It’s hard to share this house “fairly” with another couple for that reason. The garden was lovely and the owner and staff responsive. The only thing that would have made it a 5 star stay is that there was noisy repair and renovation work being done on the adjacent property owned by this host and we would have preferred it being done after our stay and not during.
