Well, we had an adventure after that wonderful ShowDeo today. At the closing, as the campers were getting ready to say goodbye to their their horses, gather up their luggage and go home, we learned the road was blocked. An 18 wheeler got lost (on his way to Pauma Valley). He got a little close to the edge and blocked the road to get out, right by the dogwood trees. A huge tow truck arrived pretty quick and it was remarkable how fast the road was open again.
Like to do something really fun on the mountain tomorrow? It is the last week of Horse Camp at Palomar Christian Conference Center. YOU are invited to the ShowDeo! 3:15, today, Friday Aug 6th, at the horse arena at the camp. It really is an impressive show. It is amazing what the girls can do with those horses after just one week. One of the girls happens to be one of our ‘treasures’, Sunshine. So, we’ll be there cheering her on and thought YOU might want to come, too!
Directions: Take State Park Road, through the State Park (you don’t have to pay the entrance fee as you are driving through to the Conference Center). Follow the signs to the Camp. When you come to the staff homes, keep going. At the Y you will see the horses off to your left. Park and walk out to the arena.
The arena does have a mesh cover but you also might appreciate an umbrella for a little more shade. Lots of camps and opportunities at Palomar Camp. Check out their website: www.palomar.camp
We have a new musician on Palomar for even more concert nights! We got to hear Chris and his band play a couple weeks ago in Wynola. They are back this Saturday night! August 7th 6 to 9. Or, get there early like we did to pick your seat and order a great meal.
They are great musicians and also have their CD available for their band, Plow. Here are more pix of fun with mountain pals:
The last lazy days of summer concert fun! Hope you can get out to hear Dutch and Bruce. Friday night and then at Lazy H next Thursday. No reservations needed in Wynola, just get there for a good table. Be sure to email for reservations at the H. It is always packed. Great evening ahead!

Ah… Mountain Rose. Such bliss. The peaceful, private views over the forest and the valley below, settle on the Pacific and beyond. See the sun shimmering on the ocean, watch the sparkling lights turn on, sometimes even a cruise ship out along the coast.
Pull yourself away from that view to take in the treasures found inside. The home was a much-loved cabin and brand new in 1948. About 15 years ago a very beautiful remodel was planned by a leaded glass and tile artist and orchestrated by a local contractor and craftsmen.
I know what you are thinking … you want to see more! The original home of 760 sf was restored. Here is the walk-in level with a fireplace in the kitchen and dining area, a delightful sunroom, great for a lingering breakfast. Oh, and a guest room, with the same open ceiling. Go down the stairs to find a heart-shaped tub in the enchanting native stone bathroom (there is a washer/dryer in a laundry area there, too):
The new addition is on the left in the first photo below, for a total of 1760 sf. It includes a formal entry and great room with a door to the deck. There is a propane fireplace, kitchenette, half bath and another laundry option. Upstairs is a beautiful master suite with a second propane fireplace walking out to that never-ending view off the balcony. The master bath has such an inviting soaking tub and a wonderful walk-in closet like you’ve never seen before with two secret hiding places. How fun is that!?!
Presently lived in full time, it was used as TWO cabins in the past. Vintage French doors between the old were closed off (they are now open). A former owner rented out the vintage side and lived in the new side, both have separate entrances and parking options on the .79 acres. What would your plans be?
Hummm, would you like to see the photos from when the artist/designer sold? Click to see her artsy home that can be YOURS! Each owner has added their touches.
This listing is ‘Coming Soon’ as we still have a painter finishing up, outside stairs being built and some other icing on the cake to make it extra special and move-in ready for you.
So looking forward to meeting our next new neighbors!

It is always fun to welcome new cabin owners to this beautiful mountain. Chris Clarke comes with a banjo! We’ll have his family introduced real soon when everyone can be here the same time for a photo. Meanwhile, the bluegrass band is playing at Wynola Pizza this Saturday night, the 24th. Who is going to join us? We usually car pool to make it extra-fun. You’ll want to be there a little before 5 for a good seat and get your order in for a great meal.
The band is named “Plow’. Naturally, I asked how they came up with their name. Chris replied, “One night in Wynola, we were playing back in the early days before we had a name. Our banjo player at the time, founding member David Bandrowski, named the band Plow. He said, “We’re Plow” and it stuck. For the full story, come to Wynola :-)”
On the rim of the world, at the very edge of the of the forest is an oh-so-charming cabin coming up for new owners to enjoy. Presently, Edgewood is a very popular vacation rental. Guests are there now, a little more work will be finished up, then we’ll have new photos for you. Meanwhile, click to peek at the Airbnb listing.
Slip out on the wrap-around deck for a front-row seat watching the clouds drift by and the birds soaring while dinner is finishing up on the grill. When it is time to turn in, there are four bedrooms to choose from plus a ladder to a loft that is a favorite with the kids. Built in 2010 with fine craftsmanship, the owner even included a sound studio. He is a voice over actor you have heard many times on television and radio. What would YOUR plans be for the cabin?
Perched on one acre you have ultimate privacy for year-round living or a weekend getaway. It will be so fun to welcome the new owners, will that be you?
Bonnie Phelps, Realtor to the Stars and Hollywood folks, too!
