Guest Stories?

Last month, the Pomona Heritage hosted a Christmas Progressive Dinner. A private home, The Historical Society of Pomona Valley, and Artesia House Bed & Breakfast were used as the appetizer, main dish, and dessert sites. In the course of the evening, I was asked if I had stories of terrible guests. My reply was no, I do not because we have had the absolutely best guests!! We've had guests from as far away as Ireland and as close as the Los Angeles area and they have all been delightful! Bed & Breakfast guests are special as they enjoy the home-like atmosphere and the interaction with the innkeepers. So if you're a nice person, I look forward to seeing you in 2009 at the Artesia House Bed & Breakfast.
