Palomar Mountain News

  Happy Birthday to Chef Bernard Guillas!  One of my great joys are the reviews from guests at the vacation rentals on Palomar. They have all been so fun to read. Here is a special one that I thought some of you would enjoy, too.

Chef Bernard, the Executive Chef at the Marine Room and La Jolla Beach and Tennis Club enjoyed 5 days at Cabin Fever.  They were treated to our last rain storm which added a bit of spice to his “perfect recipe” for his birthday celebration and “staycation” from his very busy season in La Jolla.  We agree with you, Chef Bernard, that life is “simply delicious” up here, a mile nearer heaven!

His signature in the Cabin Fever guest book is his logo with his name and chef’s hat – pretty clever! There is more to learn about our most recent guest at his website www.chefbernard.com and you can check out his acclaimed cookbook Flying Pans, Two Chefs One World at www.twochefsoneworld.com.

There is a very wonderful cabin coming up for you and it has a cute story!

When I met with the owner a few weeks ago, we sat in the very inviting living room with that big open beamed ceiling and had a little chat.  He told me about some of the impressive features of the construction  – the real wood paneling in the living room was repurposed and refinished and is 5/8 of an inch thick!  The walkout basement was designed as a garage and the builder planned a little room there for a sauna (could also be a nice wine cellar!).  He also has great memories of family and friends enjoying the cabin and playing games around the table.  He and his wife plan to make most of the furnishing optional – just a nice little visit.  Then he asked if I grew up in Vista, and if I took an art class at Lincoln Junior High School in 7th grade!!!

Yes!  And his wife was my teacher!!!  So, when they came up to the BBQ on Saturday, I just had to have my picture taken with Mrs. Wetzell!  Come buy their cabin!!!  So cute!  Check it out and let’s go on a tour!

Hoping you all have a great rest-of-your-Labor Day Weekend and that your marshmallows are roasted to perfection!

Thank you Robert Gonsett for sending the link our way!

There are a lot of vendors with booths at the Fire Department BBQ tomorrow.  The booths will be over in the Group Camp Ground area so be sure to check them out! 

We have a half-size Model T that is fun for the kids to climb on and take photos.  And, what do you think of the Sand Box???  That is a little cabin on a hill (I should have paid more attention in my art class)!  Very fun to play with!  Stop in and build your dream cabin!!!  Just the right colors for the new look for Palomar Properties – I couldn’t resist!

See you at the Barbecue!
