What a delightful place to call home for 10 days! At the foothills of the LA National Forest, yet only minutes from the shops and culture of Pasadena and a 30'ish minute drive to LA, it was the perfect blend of urban/suburban living. Overlooking a beautiful pool and landscaped yard, this cozy cottage has privacy despite its close proximity to the main house. The accomodations were sparkling clean, the bed (and sofabed) extremely comfotable and we had all the items needed to feel at "home" away from home. My only request - a couple of wineglasses next time, Herbie! I loved every minute of my vacation in this adorable place - despite the record-breaking rains that drenched us for most of the stay. I will look forward to my next visit and thank Herbie and his family for sharing his lovely place with us!
