Home Away From Home

We stayed at this lovely property for quite a while and enjoyed our stay so much! Chris and Shari we marvelous hosts and literally anything they could do to make our stay great, they did! Lots of outdoor areas to read and enjoy, cozy places inside to relax. Everything in the kitchen you would ever need to cook with! Loved it so much and couldn't be happier with our stay! Thank you so much!

Everything we could have wished for!

Shari & Chris’ home is absolutely lovely. It is warm, with a relaxed vibe decorated with beautiful treasures from their travels. As beautiful as the inside of the home is, we spent the majority of our time outside near or in the pool. The yard offers comfortable lounge furnishings, umbrellas, a large table, outdoor cooking options, a large vegetable garden & gorgeous flowering trees. I love the location of the home in a stunning section of Altadena that is also conveniently close to shopping and within a comfortable distance to any of the areas tourist sites visitors may want to explore. Shari couldn’t have been more gracious in answering our pre-stay questions and then checking in to make sure we were happy once we’d arrived. Our stay this time was related to a family wedding but we are all hoping to return for another true relaxing vacation- we hated to leave!

gorgeous home

This far exceeded our expectations. Our family felt like they were escaping into a grand manor, complete with pool, farm, space etc. The hosts could not have been more gracious. We would return over and over again!

Beautiful house in a beautiful neighborhood

We wish we'd been able to spend more time at the house- it was such a nice retreat! The pool was gorgeous and warm, the beds and baths were all great, decor was comfortable and stylish. We didn't cook much because we were at a college orientation but the kitchen was well equipped. Shari and Chris and family stayed in the cottage behind the house with their two dogs. They are kind and helpful hosts. Things to know: Street is quiet (except for some construction during week), off street parking is easy even for two cars, AC works very well! A/C is One zone, master bed and children's bedroom share a bathroom accessed from MB and hall. Third bedroom has its own bath also accessible from kitchen. Hiking is great and very close by. House was very clean, dishes needed some touch up- possibly from previous guests- all in all a 5 star experience!

Lovely family home in a great location

We stayed for a week in Chris and Shari’s lovely home when visiting our eldest son, who was on a summer internship at Caltech. The house was clean, spacious and comfortable with everything we needed for a relaxing holiday – pool, large garden, table tennis and a very well equipped kitchen. Our two younger teenage sons really appreciated the comfy sofas and huge TV! There was plenty to do nearby (we particularly enjoyed visiting the Huntington Gallery and Gardens and a hike up Echo Mountain) but it was also well placed for doing the tourist sights of LA, including Hollywood and Disneyland. As Brits visiting LA for the first time, we were quite daunted by the size and heat of the city, and really appreciated retreating to the peace and quiet of Altadena.

About the host

Hosted by Shari B

We are a family of 4 who love to travel and always love coming home to our beautiful house. Our kids are off in college now, so mom and dad are off to have some fun on our own. We'd love to have other families enjoy our beautiful home while we are gone.

Why they chose this property

We absolutely love Altadena, for its beauty, diversity, proximity to nature and to all the attractions of LA. We have poured our love into this property making it verdant, vibrant, and tranquil. We have an organic farm managed by a young farmer, and love all the birds, bees, and wildlife the property attracts.
