My friend and I stayed for 6 nights in the house at Zorthian Ranch. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience as we explored the Pasadena area. It was fun to return home "in the country" at the end of the day to greet the animals, wander the paths on the ranch, and view the sunset. This is a unique environment, and we recommend it to those who are flexible and will appreciate the quirkiness. The house was terrific with an informal and artsy living room. The kitchen was modern and clean with all cooking equipment necessary -- although no microwave. Clean bathrooms. The large bedroom is filled with books and character. The second bedroom has a single bed, futon, and small bathroom -- all very useable. Our only problem was that it was very windy during the last 2 nights of our stay, and the wind created a lot of night-time noise perhaps due to the various loose metal parts on the house and property. Take along ear plugs for the windy nights -- otherwise, very quiet. Thanks, Julia and Alan, for the chance to stay with you all.
