Best play to stay if you need something that is out of the hustle and bustle of the city but still proximate to Los Ángeles and very convenient to downtown/Glendale/the east side. A truly unique gem and experience that is not like your average flavorless place in LA. Maybe not for the faint of heart but that is what I like. Grateful to the Zorthian family and the fact that they open their home to visitors in a way that has become largely forgotten to modern day society. If you are looking for a relaxing and art-filled space with special amenities in terms of beautiful mountainside views of the Angeles vista, a sauna, saltwater pool, and animals on site, this is your place. When I arrived and was checking out the goat enclosure around sunset, I heard what I think was a pack of wild coyotes screeching and howling together although most coyotes are solitary.
