Keep Cool in the Poolside Shade at a Charming Encino House

Serve breakfast in a gazebo in a leafy backyard. Stride across flagstones and slip into a tranquil pool. Snooze in a hammock. Return indoors to cook in a family-style kitchen. Discover a spa-like room and relax in a hot bath, or daydream in a beautiful succulent filled garden.

Gorgeous guest home South of Ventura Blvd with parklike grounds and pool. Heart of celebrity studded Encino. Attached to the main residence by a sealed hall, this 5-Star oasis is a separate 1800 sq. ft. residence with own private entrance. Two queen beds, plus two pull out full sized beds and single mattress for kids. Sunlit ensuite-bathroom with double sink, large soaker-tub and shower upstairs. Dwn-Strs bathroom has large shower. Huge walk-in closet upstairs. Loft area with cathedral ceilings creates open feel for entertaining or relaxing. Fully equipped kitchen with service for eight. 2 flat-screen T.V.’s with full list of Direc-TV channels and hi-speed internet access.
Shopping, restaurants, grocery, Starbucks and Jamba Juice less than a mile. Getty Museum and Universal Studios are a short drive, and Disneyland is under 45 miles. Close access to westside of Los Angeles (Beverly Hills, Century City, Santa Monica, etc.), and less than one mile from some of the best hiking trails in the city.

You'll have access to:
Remote gated driveway entry
Entire guest home
Private Entry
Entire Backyard & Pool
Private Parking

We are here for our guests anytime, and usually never more than a few minutes away.

Located in an enclave of multi-million dollar residences, the Encino area is home to many celebrities, and is one of the most desirable neighborhoods in all of Los Angeles. Explore close by Ventura Boulevard, a 20-mile stretch of shopping, restaurants, eclectic shops and more. Centrally located to Beverly Hills, beaches, museums and downtown, this area truly has it all.

Please note that we have 2 very friendly dogs that live in the main residence. They are NEVER allowed in the guest house, whether we have guests in residence or not. If you or your family has an allergy or is otherwise disinclined to be around dogs, it's quite easy for us to make sure that they are confined to areas where guests won't interact with them when they are coming, going or in the backyard. If not, and you'd like to meet our pooches, then "woof-woof," because they'd love to meet you!....

Simple and Relaxing

The property owners greeted us when we arrived and kept in touch with us every single day on our 4 day stay.All of our needs were met. The property is extremely well maintained and much more beautiful in person. Our family enjoyed the quiet atmosphere and lovely swimming pool. Thanks for sharing your home with us.

Lovely Getaway

Our family had such a nice stay at Logan & Kat’s beautiful guest home. The yard is absolutely gorgeous, relaxing, & serene. The pool & hot tub provided endless entertainment for our three young kids & a relaxing escape for our whole family. Great neighborhood & location. Logan & Kat are accommodating & responsive hosts.

Peaceful retreat

Katherine and Logan have created a peaceful, relaxing, secure, comfortable and veery clean space. While our face-to-face was brief, they are very kind and respond quickly to any inquiries. The listing is exactly as described and as other reviews have mentioned, the backyard garden is gorgeous. The squirrels, hummingbirds, and birds enjoyed their morning as much as the guests. There was plenty of space, comfortable beds and a plus to have found a property with two bathrooms. The downstairs shower had great water pressure. I can't say enough positive things about the space and hope to return in the future.

Just what we needed

We loved this house and property. There was such an attention to detail. Anything we needed was available. Beach towels, shampoo, full kitchen, bedroom set ups, living room areas, couches, anything we could think of. It was the most pleasant experience. Logan was so helpful for the pool and hot tub and restaurants. I couldn't imagine a more successful family vacation, because we had this house to come back to an relax between adventures.

Amazing Encino Getaway

We had a lovely stay with Kat and Logan. They are the most kind, helpful and communicative hosts. Their guest home is so warm and cozy and the backyard is breathtaking (you have to see it to fully appreciate its beauty and serenity). The neighborhood is very safe and quiet and stores and restaurants are close by. We didn't want to leave!

Succulent Stay near L.A.

We had a wonderful stay at Kat & Logan’s property. This ideal location gave us access to all of the things a tourist in L.A. would want to see for the first time. In the evenings we appreciated the succulent gardens and landscaping from the heated pool and hot tub. We enjoyed being able to walk to the local stores and restaurants. The hosts were resourceful, attentive and helped make our vacation easy and memorable. Thank you!

The Perfect Oasis

This guesthouse is the perfect place for a family or couple to stay while enjoying LA. There is much thought put into all aspects: plenty of bath and beach towels, coffee and tea available, and lots of tips from Logan, our host. He was extremely accommodating and helpful. The secluded backyard garden and pool were a delight as we utilized it each day for a bit to escape the busyness of the city. I would come here again if I return to the area!

An Absolute Oasis!

This property was absolutely perfect for our family! It was very well kept and immaculate. The neighborhood was beautiful and quiet, yet close to anything we needed. Having never been to California before, we planned 1 tour or scheduled experience each day, and returned late afternoon to relax and recharge in the pool and hot tub. The backyard was our favorite spot! The gardens were outstanding! Perfect for morning coffee, making plans for the day, relaxing in the afternoon, and having dinner on the grill at night. Just incredible!

Fantastic place!

We had a great time at Kat and Logan's place. The space is beautiful inside and out. It is close to the Getty, Hollywood, and the beach. But the best thing about it is the backyard garden and pool. We loved spending time in the backyard swimming and enjoying all the wonderful succulents! And to top it all off, Kat and Logan are top notch hosts. Communication was great and we enjoyed talking with them. Highly recommended!

Amazing family vacation in beautiful guest house

We had an amazing time on our family vacation to LA with many thanks to Kat and Logan. They were attentive hosts, who provided many excellent ideas for places to visit, restaurants etc. and they made sure we had everything we needed to be comfortable and enjoy our stay in their guest house. The neighborhood was quiet and their backyard was truly an oasis. We thoroughly enjoyed late afternoons/ evenings using the pool and hot tub, which were often shaded by that time of day which was wonderful as well. If/when we go back to LA, we would absolutely stay here again. Thank you, Kat and Logan, for all that you did to make our stay special! Also, we highly recommend Anita La Momma Del Gelato on Ventura Blvd for the most amazing ice cream (gelato).

Phenomenol stay in an enchanted location

Couldn’t be a better location to see everything in the area. It’s 15-20 minutes from everything. The yard, pool area and hot tub are gorgeous and a hot tub after long days was awesome. Owners couldn’t be more helpful or accommodating. Best VRBO we have ever stayed at. Convenience was 100%. Food and Starbucks walking distance. So close to Ventura Blvd and Muholland drive. The whole experience felt like staying with family!!! Will definately come back

Girls weekend

Myself and a few friends got away for a ladies trip for the weekend. We wanted somewhere close to all the amenities, but not feel like we were in the craziness of Hollywood/LA. This place was perfect! It was located in a (very) nice, quiet residential neighborhood. Walking distance to stores, and restaurants. Our host was amazing! Very welcoming and informative. Answered all of our questions, and made us feel at home. Everything we needed was in the house, and the house and property was immaculate. The guest house we stayed in was connected to the owners main residence, which wasn’t a problem at all. We didn’t hear them, and they couldn’t hear us. We saw the owners maybe once or twice and that was just them checking in on us making sure everything was ok. I would highly recommend this property, and will definitely stay in this area when I am in the Encino/Burbank area again.

Absolutely WOW! Just incredible!

If you need to relax and wind down at the end of the day, just want a clean, quiet place to stay, had any issues with previous rentals and/or hosts? Maybe a small escape from home? THIS is where YOU need to go! This guest house is nothing short of amazing! The pictures/description in the listing do not do this place, or the warm and wonderful hosts any justice. Kat and Logan made us feel like we were on a trip staying with family. Truly kind and warm. Kat was so helpful with letting us know about the area. We also had a few great mornings outside having coffee and talking while the dogs ran around. Kat is an absolute expert at anything to do with plants! Just ask. Logan was so wonderful about turning on the hot tub at night for us! My poor body was so tired, and it was incredible... Just wait until you see the backyard at night with the pool lit up. You will feel like you stepped into a picture. The house is very, very nice. I could live in the bathroom and closet upstairs, just those rooms by themselves, and be a very happy person. This place is much bigger than it looks in the pictures. I know I will be staying at Shady's Shangrilad every time I come to Southern California! We got to meet Shady and Maggie!!! I think Shady and my little one were just the bestest friends when they seen each other. I also have to add, I accidentally left an item that had very important items. Kat went to UPS and had it overnighted to me. And would not let me repay. Bless you both.
