The Cottage

Designed for rest and rejuvenation

Casa Blanco is a renovated two-bedroom cottage in the heart of Frogtown — a private, resort-style escape minutes from Downtown, Silver Lake, Echo Park and the Los Angeles River path. The property is yours alone: a calm, considered interior opening onto a long green garden of saltwater pool, hot tub and firelight.

Discover the cottage

The white cottage exterior with front porch, flower boxes and lavender — The cottage, from the gated drive

Two bedrooms, dressed in white

The primary bedroom holds a plush king; the second, a queen — both in hotel-quality white linen for that fresh, crisp feel every night. A quiet living room, a kitchen of walnut and brass, and a bath of white subway tile complete the interior.

Outdoor dinner table under string lights at dusk — Evenings under string lights

The California evening, unhurried

As the sun sets, gather at the long table beneath the canopy, or by the fire pit as string lights cast a warm, golden glow. The hot tub is kept hot year-round; the outdoor shower waits behind a wall of jasmine.

La Colombe coffee roasters' patio in Frogtown with red umbrellas — La Colombe — Frogtown

The Neighborhood

LA’s riverside arts enclave

Nestled between the Los Angeles River and Elysian Park, Frogtown is a creative hub where artists and designers live and work among riverfront trails, vintage cottages and converted warehouses.

Coffee at La Colombe, pastry at Just What I Kneaded, bicycles at Spoke Café for the river path. In the evening — natural wine at Justine’s, coastal Mexican at Loreto, tacos under the stars at Salazar. Minutes from Silver Lake, Echo Park, Atwater Village and Downtown, yet worlds apart.

The LA River bike path curving alongside the river and trees — Five-minute walk

The LA River Bike Path

A green corridor running along the river from Griffith Park to Downtown. Step onto it five minutes from the cottage for a morning run, an evening ride, or a slow wander under the sycamores.

Lumen Coffee's interior — timber ceiling, espresso bar and lounge seating — One-minute walk

Lumen Coffee

Frogtown’s newest coffee shop, one minute from your door. Excellent espresso in a moody, design-forward interior — and they’ll develop your analog film while you linger.

Spoke Bicycle Cafe's outdoor dining area off the bike path — On the bike path

Spoke Bicycle Café

A Frogtown institution just off the river path — rent a bike, then settle into the leafy outdoor patio for coffee, cold beer, and a long unhurried lunch.

“One of my favorite Airbnbs I’ve ever stayed in. To get a standalone house on LA’s East Side with a pool and hot tub is wild. Everything inside was spotless and so well thought through.”
