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!....

The stay at the Lander's guest house was simply idyllic. As former Southern Californians, the beautiful and expansive garden was such a nostalgic joy to behold while swimming or just lounging in the yard. The area is safe. Kat and Logan are very friendly and normal, just like old friends you've always known. My kids and I were at Universal Studios all day and then enjoyed the house and pool after. Definitely better than a hotel. Everything was very comfortable.

The property was simply perfect – a beautiful, clean, and private home in a beautiful and safe area.We are incredibly grateful to Kat and Logan for providing such a wonderful place to stay. We’ve never rented a holiday property that was so well-equipped with everything we needed – it truly felt like a real home away from home!We had a packed itinerary as we had to return to the UK for our daughters’ exams, so we squeezed a lot in during our stay, including Disney days. Initially, we considered staying at different hotels, but we’re so glad we chose to stay here for the entire 10 nights. It was a lovely base in a safe and quiet location with a gated driveway. The perfect size for a family of four, including two teenagers (13 and 15), despite the part our son and daughter shared being open plan, there was plenty of privacy with the walk-in wardrobe and huge bathroom, plus a further bathroom downstairs.The garden and pool area were breathtaking, and our only regret was that we didn’t get to spend as much time at the house as we would have liked due to our busy days.Every restaurant recommendation we tried was wonderful – The Stand, Cauldines, and The Nook. Being there over Halloween meant we were even able to go and see some fantastic displays a few streets away, as recommended by Kat. If we come back to LA, we wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again and would highly recommend it to all our friends and family.Thank you so much for helping us have such a great trip

The entire home was very clean and nicely furnished. Plenty of towels in the bathrooms and for outdoor use. Fully equipped kitchen, great air conditioning for those warm evenings. Beautiful garden and refreshing swimming pool. We used the hot tub a lot and our hosts were always quick to turn it on and off for us. Perfect location for our needs and we slept so well.

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.

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.
