  • I'm in shock... I lived there for so many years and grew up helping my mom clean the cabins. In high school and college I worked many years at Lucia, it was "home" to me. To think of the beauty of the lodge being gone, cripples my heart. There is no way to replace the beautiful redwood floors, tables, building. No way to replace the history of that place. A part of my life is lost forever. I hope nobody was injured. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family who owns the Lodge.

  • So sad to see this gone. Lots of good memories here as we lived at Pacific Valley. At one time my mother, brother, sister and I worked there. So sorry for the lost

    • Cottages are totally separate. Looks like the store survived, but is damaged. I’ll know more later

  • Oh my gosh! Those poor people (owners and staff!) My husband and I live in Cambria and just dined there a couple of weeks ago. When is the South Coast region going to catch a break from all these fires? I wonder what caused it? My heart goes out to all of them.
