The Cottage

Frommer's Review

Tucked behind a homestead-style house at the end of a residential cul-de-sac is this romantic hideaway. Built in 1913, the Cottage is surrounded by gardens growing herbs and climbing roses, and has its own private entry. More of a vacation rental than a B&B (breakfast is not included), the Cottage is filled with walnut and oak antique furnishings, including an old pump organ -- the proprietor used to run an antiques store, and it shows. There's a wood-burning stove in the living room as well as a queen-size sofa bed; the bedroom has a king-size bed. This charming space also has a fully equipped kitchen and a full bath. The Cottage is 5 blocks from the cafes of Mission Hills and Hillcrest and a short drive from Balboa Park. Book early for this find.
