We rented this home over Thanksgiving so we could host a family get together and meet our new granddaughter :) It was a perfect location: plenty of room for the family, a huge dining table for our Thanksgiving dinner, and lovely views of the sunrise and the canyon from the two balconies and garden. The house was clean and well supplied. The neighborhood is lovely. And our dog was allowed to come too! We would stay here again! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 5 nights in Nov 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Loews Hollywood Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Loews-Hollywood-Hotel.h790158.Hotel-Information) > > [JW Marriott Anaheim Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Anaheim-Hotels-JW-Marriott-Anaheim-Resort.h42520139.Hotel-Information) > > [1 Hotel West Hollywood](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-1-Hotel-West-Hollywood.h35872776.Hotel-Information) > > [Howard Johnson by Wyndham Anaheim Hotel & Water Playground](https://www.expedia.ca/Anaheim-Hotels-Howard-Johnson-By-Wyndham-Anaheim-Hotel-Water-Playground.h19662.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Francisco-Hotels-Hotel-Riu-Plaza-Fishermans-Wharf.h24625.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Points By Sheraton Los Angeles International](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Four-Points-By-Sheraton-Los-Angeles-International-Airport.h28110.Hotel-Information) > > [Marriott Marquis San Diego Marina](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Diego-Hotels-Marriott-Marquis-San-Diego-Marina.h24394.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton Gateway Los Angeles Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Sheraton-Gateway-Los-Angeles-Hotel.h12287.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Anaheim Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Anaheim-Hotels-The-Westin-Anaheim-Resort.h47019139.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Plus Stovall's Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Anaheim-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Stovalls-Inn.h13592.Hotel-Information) > > [InterContinental Los Angeles Downtown by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-InterContinental-Los-Angeles-Downtown.h11567151.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt House at Anaheim Resort/Convention Center](https://www.expedia.ca/Anaheim-Hotels-Hyatt-House-At-Anaheim-ResortConvention-Center.h14786168.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairfield by Marriott Anaheim Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Anaheim-Hotels-Fairfield-By-Marriott-Anaheim-Resort.h13771.Hotel-Information) > > [Desert Palms Hotel & Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Anaheim-Hotels-Desert-Palms-Hotel-Suites.h1571.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Vacation Club at The Welk, San Diego Area](https://www.expedia.ca/Escondido-Hotels-Hyatt-Vacation-Club-At-The-Welk.h59916.Hotel-Information) > > [Disney's Grand Californian Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Anaheim-Hotels-Disneys-Grand-Californian-Hotel-And-Spa.h692655.Hotel-Information) > > [Courtyard by Marriott Anaheim Theme Park Entrance](https://www.expedia.ca/Anaheim-Hotels-Courtyard-By-Marriott-Anaheim-Theme-Park-Entrance.h11476917.Hotel-Information) > > [The Hollywood Roosevelt](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-The-Hollywood-Roosevelt.h34142.Hotel-Information) > > [Manchester Grand Hyatt San Diego](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Diego-Hotels-Manchester-Grand-Hyatt-San-Diego.h12073.Hotel-Information) > > [Cambria Hotel & Suites Anaheim Resort Area](https://www.expedia.ca/Anaheim-Hotels-Cambria-Hotel-Anaheim-Resort-Area.h34780325.Hotel-Information) > > [Anaheim Marriott Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Anaheim-Hotels-Anaheim-Marriott-Hotel.h12035.Hotel-Information) > > [JW Marriott Los Angeles L.A.
