The Redlands Guesthouse: Historic District/Pool/Spa

The Redlands Guesthouse—unplug and unwind. Private solitude or social interaction—your time, your space, your choice. What I love about this space: Whether you are looking for a romantic getaway, traveling for business, or working on a solo creative project, the Redlands Guesthouse in the heart of Redlands' Historic District, CA, is for you. This airy studio oasis, set back from the street and nestled up a flight of stairs in a separate building behind our 1925 Italian Revival home, invites you to relax and rejuvenate while enjoying its restful space inside or basking outside in the sun in the secluded pool area and garden. The Redlands Guesthouse glows with lots of dappled light, and refreshing views of nearby San Bernardino mountains and backyard treetops beckon from every window. Singles, Couples, traveling professionals, and artists will find the space inspiring.
