Artsy Retreat w/ Cal-King Bed near Park, Shops, Restr, Airport. 30+Day Special
Welcome to Dancing Bear Manor – A Creative Burbank Retreat for Mid Term 30+ day stay. We are offering a special monthly rate now since we are moving away from short term rental to midterm rental from October 2025. I am a super host on Airbnb.
Step into Dancing Bear Manor, a lovingly restored 1936 historic home in the heart of Burbank. This charming and spacious 2-bedroom, 1-bath furnished residence is much more than a place to sleep — it’s a sanctuary, a creative retreat, and a welcoming space for those seeking comfort, inspiration, and connection during their time in Los Angeles. Whether you are here for work at the nearby studios, a family relocation, or simply in need of a peaceful mid-term rental, Dancing Bear Manor offers a unique blend of historic charm, modern amenities, and artistic character that makes every stay feel special.

From the moment you arrive, you’ll notice the warm energy of the home. Built by a Burbank family nearly a century ago, the house has been preserved with care and infused with love, creativity, and modern conveniences. Sunlight streams through large windows, highlighting vintage architectural details, original hardwood floors, and thoughtful decorative touches that celebrate both history and artistry.
The home feels both peaceful and alive: a place where you can enjoy your morning coffee under the shade of trees in the private garden, spend afternoons working or relaxing in the cozy living room, and gather with loved ones in the dining room or around the breakfast nook. The balance of vintage charm and contemporary comfort makes the house feel timeless — rooted in its 1930s heritage yet fully equipped for today’s lifestyle.

Whether you’re hosting a meal, working remotely, or spreading out plans for your next project, the dining room adapts to your needs. • Breakfast Nook: A cozy corner adjacent to the kitchen — ideal for leisurely breakfasts, morning journaling, or simply enjoying the quiet with a cup of tea. • Office Space: A separate office provides privacy and focus for remote work, online meetings, or creative writing sessions.
