Long Live the Quail Canyon Inn

Does anyone out there remember the Quail Canyon Inn on the west side of Morgan Hill?  More of a shack, really, but a Morgan Hill landmark just the same.  Nestled off Oak Glen Avenue on the rugged shores of Chesbro Lake, the Quail was a great place to enjoy a cold beer while taking in panoramic views of the 283 acre reservoir.  On weekends the dirt driveway was lined with Harley Davidsons, and the tavern was known for a throwback atmosphere and great homemade chili.  But, unfortunately, the Quail burned to the ground in 2005 after 60+ years in operation.  If you pass by today on Friday afternoons you may still see a few bikers enjoying a 6 pack on the burned and hallowed ground where the Quail once stood, lamenting the loss of another local icon that couldn't be rebuilt to today's strict building codes. 


Morgan Hill is rich in history, and living here is like living no where else.  My name is David Frazer and I'm a local Realtor that lives and works in this one of a kind town.  To see a great home with breathtaking views of Chesbro Lake, then just visit http://www.chesbrolake.com/  I am a top producing Morgan Hill Realtor, and I can help you find a Morgan Hill Home or Gilroy Home that will make you smile!


Cheers,
