We were traveling from Florida and really had no idea where to stay in relation to what we wanted to see. I came across Mark and Lori's place and knew it was perfect!! Once we mapped out the distances to everywhere we were going, Whittier House became even more perfect. Lori was SO ACCOMMODATING and HELPFUL from allowing us to store our luggage and even giving us tips on how to access the hiking trails of the beautiful foothills of Whittier. The house is so homey and inviting, the perfect place to unwind after long days of exploring. Everything you need is clearly labeled, and they have a thorough manual of further explanation and house history. If you're looking for a quiet, safe, and incredibly affordable place to stay in Southern California, Whittier House is your place!! I hope that our paths will cross with Mark and Lori in the future!!
