Palomar Mountain News

Update: Already in Escrow!!! https://s.paragonrels.com/goto/Ziv6_3

Just had a delightful visit with Lynn Martinez, the owner of this charming cabin. Her great grandfather, was named Guy Winks Wray. We don’t know the story of how his folks came up with that name. We are only guessing that when he was born, he was such a cute little guy, and did you see that? He winks!

Great Grandpa did go by ‘Winks’. He and he and his brother decided they wanted to have cabins on Palomar for their families to enjoy mountain life. They were well drillers and even had a candy store in San Diego. When they wanted a dose of big trees, spring water and and fresh air, they headed up to Palomar. This cabin was built first, then they had another built next door. Both show dates of 1923; oh my, that was a Century ago!

The families looked forward to every minute they could spend on Palomar. Lynn remembers back to when she was about 10 years old when her family started visiting the cabin so often. She and her brother and sister loved playing outside. (Guaranteed to be much more fun than any tablet or phone could ever be!) The cabin has two big bedrooms but the the kids had a blast pitching tents outside on the level ground by the kitchen. They looked forward to meeting up with their friends at other cabins and would hike, climb trees, and loved the square dances and fun fiddle music on Saturday nights at Bailey’s Dance Hall.

Click for the listing with lots of photos. You’ll recognize the big stone fireplace where you can still warm up with your family now a hundred years later.
