When I drove to the house, a Monarch butterfly drifted past and I knew this place was going to be great. It is bittersweet that I leave this sweet retreat. I never knew an Airbnb could fit me so well. The stunning view of the mountain, the wildlife, the calm, watching the day/night hikers was simply awe-inspiring. Jack has taken great care to accommodate the needs of travelers and I would happily stay here again. A quick 17min drive or less gets you to everything Pasadena. But it's the drive back, as you take a deep swallow to clear your ears from the altitude, to this little room that will capture your heart. A throw pillow with the saying, "the mountain is calling and I must go" is so very true and I'm glad I did.
