Cozy Southern California Lavender Cottage Sierra Madre

LAVENDER COTTAGE is located in the historical foothill community of Sierra Madre - right next to Pasadena and Arcadia! Just a couple of miles away from the famous Rose Parade route! It is a clean and beautifully renovated two bedroom house on a quiet residential street within walking distance (10 min) from coffee shops and restaurants. Plenty of natural light fills this 1000 sq ft cottage. Enjoy an enclosed private back yard, the newly landscaped front yard, central A/C, heating and new appliances.

Justin and I live right next to the rental and are available to help with anything you need. Let us know if you need anything in particular for you stay and we can get it for you. We intend to make your arrival comfortable and smooth. We provide a door code for an easy self checkin. If you would like, we can meet you and answer any questions you might have.

Please noted there is a queen sofa bed with topper for two extra guests - pillows and blankets are located in the front bedroom closet. Maximum people allowed is 6.
There is a one car garage but you can also park two to three cars in the driveway. Over night parking on the street is not allowed according to city rules.
No parties or events. There is absolutely no cigarette or cigar smoking, vaping of any kind, or pot smoking or drug use on the property. You should not book this property if you think that will be a problem or if you intend to smoke or use drugs away from the cottage and bring back any lingering odors/effects as these things are very difficult to remove from linens, walls, and carpet. Thank you for understanding. No visitors after 11pm. We reserve the right to terminate the rental if complaint from neighbors.

No filming or commercial photography are allowed in the property. A permit is required by the city.

The black trash bin (located in the garage now) is for non-recycle waste, the blue one is for recycle items. Please do not use the green trash bin desinated for the gardener only.

Guests will be informed the pass code for the lock upon their arrival so you can check in and enjoy your stay with privacy.

We are always available to help with directions or inquiries about the best routes and times to travel as well as advice on local life and fare, but we will respect your privacy and leave you to yourself unless advice is solicited. I check in with you by text or phone at some point during your stay to be sure that all is well. :)

A beautiful comfortable cottage.
We had a great experience at the cottage which is centrally located and a short drive from many experiences. The cottage was warm, inviting and comfortable. We would definitely return and enjoy another stay.

Loved the quaint cottage and the quaint town and the location at the foothills of some lovely hiking trails. Fresh grapefruit in the morning was delicious! Highly recommend this haven in SoCal!

Great Cottage and Location
We enjoyed our stay at the cottage. It was perfect for our visit. We were able to walk to several restaurants and it was a short ride to Santa Anita. Kim was very responsive to a few questions we had and provided recommendations for restaurants. We would stay again!

Lovely Cottage
We very much enjoyed our stay. The cottage was perfect — homey and comfortable. The owner was very quick to respond to our questions. The neighborhood was gorgeous, quiet, and comfortable with a fantastic hiking trail just down the street.

Lovely cottage in a great location
My sister and I (both senior citizens) thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We'd have liked warmer weather, but still managed to visit many of the attractions nearby - Huntington Gardens, the Arboretum, the Gamble house, and more. The cottage was very comfortable, and we had everything we needed. Communication with the owner was quick and easy.

We really enjoyed the house. It was in a wonderful neighborhood and Sierra Madge was a cute town. The house was well appointed and easy access to LA to visit my son and partner. Would surely rent again for our next trip. Annelies & Fred

Paradise in the foothills
Our family was born and raised in the SG Valley. The mountains are part of our life and memories. We rented this sweet and peaceful house to visit our CA family, visiting from our new home in Tennessee. It was so wonderful being so close to the mountains and to hiking trails, just far out enough from the city to have easy access to everything. The VRBO information was extremely accurate and I would highly recommend this tranquil house if you're visiting the area! Thank you to the hosts for a lovely and unforgettable stay.

Perfect
We enjoyed our stay at Lavender Cottage. The location was great. As soon as you step outside, the first thing you see are the mountains. The neighborhood is full of trees and very quiet. The house is near the little downtown area where you can find just about everything. We walked from the house to the square. There is a little grocery store, local places to eat, and entertainment. We would gladly stay here again.

Lavender Cottage: a perfect home away from home.
The Lavender Cottage perfectly fit our needs as we were visiting family in the Sierra Madre/ Pasadena area. We loved the quiet neighborhood and being within walking distance to both the quaint downtown of Sierra Madre and the trail to Mt. Wilson. The cottage is very comfortable and well appointed. We enjoyed the wonderful sunny LA weather in the backyard as we watched the hummingbird flying from flower to flower. Kim Brandstater was very attentive and responsive to our inquiries. It was a perfect home away from home

Beautiful Gem in the hustle and bustle
This beautiful home was perfect for a little girls getaway, it was quaint and beautiful tucked away in the hills. Although a little loud with some work being done next door and older windows, it was perfect. They have done a beautiful job with the home and the yard!!!! They were so accommodating and responsive if I had a question or concern, it was my first experience with Vrbo and I’ve got to say it was perfect! Thank you Kim and Justin!

Beautiful Home
I loved everything about this property. The home is so cozy and in a historic area of Sierra Madre. The owner was very responsive and helpful with any questions I had. I work in Los Angeles but had to commute to the Inland Empire for meetings and this property was a central location to both. I look forward to staying again in the future.

Lovely cottage in a great little neighborhood
This is our second stay at the Lavender Cottage and we’ve loved it both times! This time we liked spending time in the garden backyard and walking to the restaurants and shops down the street. We hope to visit again!

Always Lovely
The Lavender Cottage is always clean and comfortable and equipped with everything we need for our stay and Kim is responsive to any questions we have. Sierra Madre is a lovely little town, away from the busyness of LA but close enough for a day trip to restaurants, museums, parks, and beaches.
