Arroyo Vista Inn, Pasadena

On our (literally) ill-fated visit to Bungalow Heaven in Pasadena, we stayed at a nice B&B called the Arroyo Vista Inn.  It is about 20 minutes away from Bungalow Heaven, on the other side of the 110 freeway.


The Inn bills itself as "one of the few surviving examples of architect Lester Moore’s Craftsman-style houses."  It is a beautiful old house.  Here's the entrance, where you can see the beautiful big veranda:



This view shows a bit more of the side of the house.  There are more rooms in another building just behind this one:

The house is beautiful.  They have a large common area downstairs, and a good-size dining room that seats 6-8 people at each of two tables.


There are three stories; getting to the top is good exercise, and wouldn't be easy for some older folks. 


One drawback to the rooms:  the windows don't open.  Climate control is fine, but we frequently like to get a bit of fresh air.
