My son just graduated from Claremont McKenna College. And for the four years he was there, I always stayed with Patty. Her place is a quiet retreat, and she always goes out of her way to be hospitable. The room is welcoming, with coffee, water and a mini fridge. The bed is super comfortable, and I always sleep well there. Patty's place always makes me feel relaxed, and it would be a great place to stay even for locals who just want a great weekend get-away. It's also easy to find, since you can easily Google it as Briar Patch Rose Garden, and it will take you right to her on airbnb. Thanks Patty!
