Cathy welcomed us as we drove up to the lovely Pasadena neighborhood in which they live. The grounds of Cathy and Hoss personal home are lovely with orange, lime, and grapefruit trees, succulent plants and multiple well-furnished patios. The guest house bungalow was true to the photographs, nicely appointed, with kitchen, bath, and walk-in closet. We loved the mattress. My husband even peeked under the sheets to find out the make and model :)
The fireplace was our friend since early mornings and nights were a bit chilly. We were there four nights first week of February, and I can imagine how wonderful it would be to just open up the doors and windows and let the air flow freely through the space. The guest house has a nice deck of its own, perfect place for coffee, reading or a glass of wine. Cathy stocked the kitchen and fridge with breakfast items and snacks as part of the experience. Almond butter - my favorite! We enjoyed walking to the Arroyo and jogging along the trail close to their home. We also walked a couple miles to the Rose Bowl.
