The Cottage is was even more charming and beautiful than the photos show. Our family of 3 stayed there for 6 days when taking our oldest to college and it was perfect.
The cottage sits on a historic and breathtaking gated estate and is quiet, yet 5 min from the Gamble House, the Norton Simon Museum, and historic Pasadena.
Connie was warm and gracious and left us wine, snacks, coffee - and was available for questions but otherwise we didn't see her or her cute dog. We used the beautiful pool and sat on the welcoming front porch of the cottage and felt very comfortable. We did see her teen son in the adjacent pool house, so you are "sharing" the grounds, but very lightly. We'll be back!
