Dear Baileys,

Our Photographic retreat was a huge success mainly due to your help, the Carriage House is the perfect classroom, its full of natural light! With Terri as our field guide, my students were able to enjoy the amazing diversity, and the historic Dance hall gave us lots to work with. Photo expeditions will be back!

Thanks,

Donna

Prof. of Photography


Bailey Family,

We had a really wonderful time in the Historic Bailey House, the family reunion to end all reunions!  We are from N. Carolina, to have snow falling was a much needed sight, we we’re all so happy. We’ve missed our own mountains.  To be in S. California and find this gem was a real treat! We’ve rebooked our stay for next Dec. Thanks for the walks, talks, sky show, and just the family friendship you shared with us.

Heartwarming to know people like you still exist.

Our group, the Audubon Society of Mass. enjoyed our visit to Palomar Mountain.

Mountain Quail, Owls, Woodpeckers abound. Thank you for keeping your environment, bird friendly.

Your knowledge of the bird habitats was so valuable, great guide!

Mr. Bailey

Your Star party sparked a new hobby for our family. The telescopes on the lawn, slide show in the dance hall, campfire stories, and kids making ice cream. Wow! The tour through the Observatory was amazing.

Keep on going with your new telescope.

Terri and Vandy,

Our scrapbook retreat was a relaxing and much needed get away for us girls!

Carriage house, is large and well light, perfect for what we do.

The huge kitchen is huge and well stocked, and massages!  This was our  8th year. It's our home away from home.

Love it.

Tara and friends

Brad and Terri,

Thank you so much for letting us experience the Bailey House.  It is absolutely wonderful, charming, and cozy. The upstairs bedrooms are wonderful!!

We left $20.00 for the "Palomar Mountain" book, that Brad wrote.

Loved the history of this area.

Thanks,

Dear Brad and Terri

Wow!  Mary and I had such a fantastic time visiting your resort!  It was like nothing we've experienced. It was so much more than we expected.

When Brad found out I was celebrating my wife's birthday he suggested the Ceders Cottage, Upon arrival the fireplace was lit, additional atmosphere was provided by Terri, table set, and balloons announced Mary's birthday, as we sipped wine in front of the stone fireplace, we retired to a cozy bed with an electric blanket that preheated our bed.  Next morning we were treated to a walk about in the general store, complete with old post office, soda fountain, amazing.

Your great hosts and will cherish our great memories of Bailey's and be back soon.

Dear Terri and Brad,

Don't mean to be so familiar, but the two of you were so warm and friendly, I chose not to say Mr. and Mrs. Bailey.

I juist wanted to thank you, on the behalf o my friends, for sharing your beautiful historic home with us.  This the is the sixth year we have all taken a trip at this time of year, we all agreed that this on was the best !  I loved the "Rose Room"  and was inspired by the beautiful handkerchief quilt on the bed. I used my mom's old handkerchiefs to recreate one for our family.  

Thank you very much, we will do this again.

Bailey Family,

We joined the camping club, and want to let you know how much we've enjoyed our time together in a private, quiet, family friendly campground, we joined in on your Star Party, what a treat to visit the inside of the Big Telescope, my kids are still talking about it !

The campfire stories and music was great. Best ice cream we've ever had. Your granddaughter was so cute in the soda fountain bar.

Thanks so much, we are a family again.

Dear Terri

Our Scrapbook group had so much fun at our new retreat spot. Carriage House, Scrap book room, Awesome!  Well  lit, roomy, cozy, loved the bamboo floors,  sliding window doors, facing in all directions to see the view of the forest. We relaxed, created, laughed, and got our groove on.  What a great place to craft.  Love the drive up loading area, and then to get to go into the Bailey House to relax and get a massage, perfection.

We will be back soon.
