San Diego's Rancho Bernardo Inn Is Unharmed

Where: 17550 Bernardo Oaks Dr. [map], San Diego, CA, United States, 92128

Despite being evacuated from the destructive Witch Creek Fire last week, the Rancho Bernardo Inn in San Diego has put out a press release letting potential guests know that the place is A-OK.

The property had been evacuated Monday, October 22 but reopened for business Thursday, October 25.... The resort escaped the fires with only minor property damage, mostly contained to a part of its championship golf course. Nevertheless, says [General Manager John] Gates, "We had guests back out on the course by Friday morning."

The inn has been offering displaced residents special room rates, allowing displaced resort staff members to stay on property and has been working with local community in cleanup.

The 40-year-old inn recently under went a $25 million renovation effort that included a new spa, pool, ballroom and conference center and guest room refurbishments. Can we say lucky?
