About this property

A Poolside Gem in Beautiful Altadena.

A modern yet charming and spacious studio with queen bed and a pullout futon sofa bed. The Casita has an eye catching beamed and vaulted ceiling, a fireplace center piece, grey flagstone tiles and a charming and airy farmhouse door that opens on to the gleaming pool right outside. There is an outdoor table (for 2) on the terrace plus two red Adirondack chairs next to the Casita in the garden for Casita guests. The Inside dining table has room for four.

There is a private entrance through a charming tree and fern lined walkway to the backyard for guests to use and unrestricted street parking. Nestled in the foothills of the San Gabriel mountains, the Casita is walking distance to lovely mountain hikes and even a waterfall, yet it is also only a short drive from shopping, museums and the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, and easily accessible to all that Los Angeles and surrounds has to offer!

Guests of the Casita may also take advantage of the host's weekly yoga class at the main house if here on a Sunday morning and for a small charge of $15pp. Private yoga sessions in the gorgeous backyard are also available upon request.

NOTE: THE BACKYARD AND POOL ARE SHARED AREAS BETWEEN THE CASITA AND THE MAIN HOUSE. THE CASITA HAS ITS OWN TERRACE FOR THE EXCLUSIVE USE OF GUESTS. GUESTS ARE WELCOME TO SWIM IN THE POOL BUT ALTHOUGH IT LOOKS LIKE A RESORT, PLEASE DON'T TREAT IT AS ONE!

Great poolside oasis!
My wife, daughter and I loved our stay at Mark and Claire's poolhouse. It was a hot weekend so the pool was perfect, and having all of the lush greenery around made you forget you were LA County. Communication was great and it was very easy to get to

Lovely
I had a procedure at the city of hope. My sister and mother helped me recuperate here. It was great. The outdoor shower and private garden were perfect. I could put my feet in the shallow part of the pool which felt wonderful. Thank you!

About the host

Hosted by Claire Turner

Host profile image
HI There!

We're Mark and Claire Turner, two Brits who settled between Southern California and Arizona.

We've travelled extensively and often stayed at home rentals/exchanges so we know what to expect when people come by. Some people want local advice and recommendations and others like to come and chill in the quiet - either is fine by us!

Why they chose this property

We live on the nicest street in Altadena, itself a unique wooded community in the shadow of the mighty San Gabriel Mountains. Our home has extensive lush gardens and is a quiet haven away from the business of the city outside.

What makes this property unique

Directly from the property you can hike to a waterfall, or be in Downtown LA in 15mins - how many people can say that in the Southern California Metropolis?

Altadena is a quiet mountain community with a few nearby shops, restaurants and bars and excellent hiking/biking in the San Gabriel mountains. We're also a short drive down the hill to Pasadena with many more dining and entertainment options and only 13 miles to Downtown Los Angeles
You can walk to the small center of Altadena with buses to Pasadena, LA Metro Stations or Bike Hire. A car is recommended for exploring all of Los Angeles though!

And if you want to stay closer to home - Claire is a yoga teacher who has a class every Sunday at the Main House which you're welcome to attend ($15) or can provide private lessons in the Casita.
