ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!!! I cannot believe this place. This is California comfort combined with a Southern style of charm and hospitality. The pictures of the cottage speak for themselves. I felt safe and filled with enormous amounts of beauty all around me, as if life showed up and said, "Here is a gift. Surprise. Enjoy." ... rose gardens, fruit trees, sound of exotic birds, lemons and grapefruit from the yard piled in a white ceramic bowl, fresh mint picked for us, eggs, bread, cheese, crackers, gin!, wine, fluffy towels, high quality shampoos and lotions, . Cathy and Hoss are some of the nicest people I've ever met. I'm humbled. To open up such a beautiful home is the greatest gift, truly. I'm coming back next time for a week in the Pasadena summer. Can't wait.

I have always stayed at The Huntingdon Ritz or I guess it's The Langham now. It has gotten very corporate feeling. It looks like I've found a new haven.
