Just north of Liebre Summit, Harold Sandberg"s Summit Hotel, later Sandberg's Lodge, was where one would see Packards, Cadillacs, and Studebakers parked along the Ridge Route. Trucks and dogs weren't allowed here, but the Post Office was - it had a location onsite. California live oaks enhanced the high class desirability of this property.
After Sandberg sold the Hotel, a variety of people owned it. After the Ridge Route Alternate opened, a man surnamed Fox allegedly allowed prostitution and gambling to the Lodge's patrons. In any case, he apparently destroyed the high class trade it had enjoyed. Two other people acquired the property from Fox directly afterwards in succession, and the last of the two, waitress "Lucky" Stevens, had intentions of turning the place into a children's camp. Her dreams went up in ashes when - in the midst of renovations - fireplace sparks ignited the roof. The total loss of the formerly well-heeled hotel occurred April 29, 1961.
