Cute

The space is very small but it was perfect as a home base for a short weekend trip. It was a comfortable night's sleep and the shower had ample water pressure! Quiet neighborhood. The host put a lot of work into the decor of the space and provided a lot of amenities (cold water, seltzers, snacks, etc). The host was also very communicative. I would stay here again.

Host profile image
I’m a passionate host with deep roots in Redlands, where my family has lived since the Gilded Age. My love for history, nature, and hospitality inspired me to create Greenbriar Cottage—a space that offers guests an elegant yet comfortable retreat infused with the charm of a bygone era. I enjoy curating unique experiences that highlight Redlands’ rich heritage, from its citrus groves to its vibrant arts and culture scene. Hosting allows me to share the beauty of this remarkable place with travelers from all over.

Why they chose this property

Redlands is a hidden gem, often called the "Napa Valley of Citrus" for its rich agricultural history. The neighborhood surrounding Greenbriar Cottage is steeped in the beauty of one of the last 10-acre orange groves in city limits, Prospect Park, Kimberly Crest, breathtaking mountain views, and historic architecture that harks back to the elegance of the Gilded Age, when Redlands was the "Palm Springs of the Gilded Age." I love how the town blends historic charm with a lively modern culture, offering everything from boutique shopping to live music at the iconic Redlands Bowl. The sense of community and natural beauty make this neighborhood a truly special place to call home and share with guests.

What makes this property unique

Greenbriar Cottage is more than just a place to stay—it’s an experience. From the moment you step inside, you’re transported to a world of vintage elegance, thoughtfully updated for modern comfort. The space captures the essence of the Gilded Age, featuring curated interiors, locally sourced artwork, and botanical elements that reflect Redlands’ rich agricultural heritage. With luxury amenities, a serene sleeping porch infused with the scent of orange blossoms, and exclusive touches like fresh floral arrangements and farm-to-table offerings, every detail is designed to provide an unforgettable retreat.
