Sage Cottage

We rented this place for a family wedding that my wife was making the cake for. Primarily looked for adequate refrigerator and counter space to work. The house was very lovely, well maintained and in a nice area. There were a lot of nice and unique little restaurants in the area and the people were very friendly. The house had a good view of the local mountains which happen to have a fair amount of snow on them. I was overall very pleased with my stay.

Check in was explained very well and everything went smoothly. The pictures online were correct, except for a slightly shabby (but clean) sofa. We thought the kitchen was well-appointed and appreciated the welcoming treats left for us.
However, upon using the kitchen, we found a severely broken dishwasher (we had to hand wash after each load) and a broken ice machine, very inconvenient. We also found only 2 dinner plates! I had to ask my sister to bring dinner plates so we could have our dinner party of four.
Neither bathroom had a box of tissue. We don't normally travel with boxes of tissue.
The checkout book, not referenced in any online description, wanted us to wash and return all dishes and strip all beds. This should have been covered in the cleaning fee, we feel. There seemed to be a lot of junk outside, possibly hazardous to children or pets.
With a little more upkeep by the owners, this would be a prime choice for travelers, given its great location, overall cleanliness, and property management professionalism being top positive aspects.

Overall it was fine. Great location for our purposes. Biggest negative was toilet near the master was broken. Also advertised as sleeping 7 which was true but only if you counted blow up mattress.

We spent 5 weeks in this home in winter 2022. It’s in a nice neighborhood which was quiet and good for walking. The living room furniture was comfortable, as was the master bedroom mattress. We enjoyed the backyard very much, but the cushions on the chairs are badly ripped, the table umbrella is broken, and there is leftover construction debris around. The staff at Vacation Living are wonderful. They are very responsive if any issue comes up. We’ve rented from them a few times and they are always great.

This home fulfilled all our expectations and more, from the size of the rooms, the comfort, the location ,ease of access and parking, to cleanliness and functionality.

20 minutes to our sons who we were visiting . Comfortable. Great weather . Nice walking trails nearby; downtown Pasadena right down the street.

We rented this home for the second time. It was very clean and management is quite responsive and very nice to deal with. We only used it for sleeping at night while spending Christmas with our son so don't know much about the kitchen but everything looks fine. A very nice gift tray of food goodies, coffee and wine is left for your stay and was such a nice touch and did come in handy. We definitely would recommend staying in this house and would do so again.

As always the home is very clean, quiet neighborhood. We only sleep and shower at the house so don't know about amenities in the kitchen. We with washcloths were provided but that is a very small thing. A nice tray of goodies is always left which is a very nice touch we haven't had at any other VRBO. The managers stay in touch and I'm sure would be there if there were any concerns. Yard was clean and kept up as well.

As advertised, quiet area and clean.

We had 5 people stay for a long weekend for a local wedding. Communication was great leading up to and during our stay. When we arrived the house was very clean and everything worked as it should. We were very pleased with our overall experience and would recommend Sage Cottage to anyone.

Everything was great but kitchen needs a total update on equipment, dishes, knives, pots and pans. Tub controls need to be moved down so they can be reached from tub. Both shower heads need to be replaced.

We stayed here over Christmas to be near our kids and had our dog with us. The house was very clean, the owner was very good at communication, and they left a tray of goodies from Trader Joes - something we have never seen at a VRBO and it was a very nice gesture. Being winter and mostly raining we did not venture into the back yard except with our dog. It was the only area that could have been cleaned up a bit but overall we were very happy with our stay. We hardly used the kitchen except to make coffee and use a few cups so can't comment on how well supplied it was but assume it was adequate. We would recommend it and stay here again if we needed to.

The place was nice and big, beds were very comfortable and kitchen was amazing. The neighborhood was wonderful, with lots of parrots (?) in the trees. I used the kitchen a lot, plenty of space and really nice to cook in. The hosts were not great at communication, but that didn't affect the stay, it was just difficult to get questions answered.

Great hiking trails and location
Perfect location near Pasadena and hiking trails. It is a dog-friendly location and about 1 mile to trailheads. Our Brittany Spaniel loved to run free up the mountain! All amenities as described. Beds very comfortable. Parking easy in front of house. Would stay there again.

While we generally were happy with this property there were several things that could make it a better stay for all. The most important being that the book of house instructions needs to be updated. For example, the microwave appears to have been changed and the instructions for operation in the book did not apply to the current microwave. Many items that were said to be in one location were in a completely different area. There was no dish drainer under the sink or anywhere in the house, for example. Also a couple thinks, like the toilet roll holder in the main BR was broken. We fixed it. We also fixed the Roku remote control. The silverware drawer has only 3 teaspoons in it for a house that supposedly sleeps 7. Also, a full length mirror and Kleenex would be nice. We were there for a wedding and there was no way to see how we looked from top to bottom. (I was the mother of the bride and would really have appreciated this.) Also, it's kind of tacky to have a "welcome" plate and bottle of wine, but then to ask that the guests replace them if they eat/drink them. It is a convenient location and was very clean.

Location was perfect and the place had everything we needed. Great communication from the host - would highly recommend staying here.

The house was in a great location for our family. The whole house needs to be painted. A lot of light bulbs were burned out. Owner junk around the house in the back yard, makes it look shabby. With some light maintenance this house would be a home run.

Great location. We contacted the management company about one issue and they quickly resolved it (the available Pack N Play was very dirty so they delivered another one).

Enjoyed our stay, even able to pick oranges off the neighbors tree that hung over the fence
