This house is everything it promises.
It is a secret little slice of history, showing us how beautiful the San Gabriel valley was when it was covered in Citrus orchards. The fact that this place even exists is incredible.
Hidden away off a busy road and surrounded by development on all sides, it is, nonetheless, an oasis of charm, a quiet, private, tree'd property.
I arrived late at night, feeling safe as I passed through the electric gate. There was plenty of parking and the electric locking system on all of the doors is flawless.
The house itself is beautiful inside, comfortable, and cozy, beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean throughout!
I climbed the beautiful and totally silent (not a creak!) wooden staircase to my room. I was worried that I would be making too much noise as there are 4 suites on the same floor, but I did not hear anyone (ever so slightly a footstep, maybe) and I do not think they heard me.
My room was very comfortable with a big beautiful bed, bathroom with a clawfoot tub as well as a shower and a big closet. The floors and everything was immaculate.
I had a desk but no dresser, a dresser would have been nice and also a luggage rack for my suitcase would have been good to have. But still, the room was great.
Many of the amenities are in the common areas of the house which I happily used. There is a huge and beautiful (again spotlessly clean) kitchen, water provided in bottles in the giant industrial size fridges. They had coffee and tea and a very small assortment of snacks. There was really a minimum amount of food amenities, but I did not mind that.
There was a lovely dining room and lovely table in the kitchen, comfy chairs in the living room where I sat to do some computer work, with sun streaming in in the morning, also a parlor with a comfy couch and outside a warp around porch with different seating areas. Plus there are fruit trees around the property and I picked an orange and ate it. Delicious and delightful.
I saw some other guests briefly coming and going, but wow, the place was quiet, in a good way!
And in addition to everything, the location, for me, was perfect as I was visiting my elderly Mother who lives a 2 minute drive from where Peppertree Lane is.
This place is also a 3 or 4 minute drive to Claremont Village.
I was very pleased with my stay.
The Wifi in my room was not as good as it was when I was down in the living room, so that was one tiny minus, but overall I highly recommend this property and I certainly hope to be able to stay here again when visiting my family in the Claremont area.
