Staying at Zorthian was a tremendous experience for us. We were visiting the Pasadena area for a family wedding, and booked out the entire Zorthian Ranch - the main house plus both individual studios for three nights.

Among the highlights:
- Very clear and consistent communication with Alan and the entire Zorthian staff (including Robert and Gary!) both prior to our arrival and throughout our visit.
- The main house is spacious and great for a large family, while the studios are both very distinct and meet the needs of individual travelers or couples. Everything was clean and comfortable.
- Having the Zorthian staff around the property was not only fun, but they were able to answer our questions and provided a sense of security. They also respected our privacy. You can really relax in this mountain retreat knowing good folks are always around.
- The entire Zorthian property is aesthetically fun and funky, with many areas to eat, relax, walk, and lounge.
- The pool is saltwater, with views of the mountains in one direction and downtown Los Angeles in the other - need we say more?!

We highly recommend Zorthian as a comfortable and welcoming retreat for families and small groups who want easy access to the Pasadena and greater LA area, while also getting away up into the hills for a distinctively unique experience. With family in the area, we'll be back!
