The Mountain Home Inn, on Marin County's Mount Tamalpais just 20 miles north of San Francisco, is an alluring escape.

As luck would have it, the evening I drove up the eastern slopes of Mount Tamalpais to stay at the iconic peak’s historic hotel was also a blue moon. As I arrived, diners and drinkers on the old redwood deck looking out over the forests of Marin watched the rare moon rise from one of the best vantage points around. And the serendipity didn’t end there. Serenading the crowd was a man named Wolff, who didn’t quite howl at the moon but instead sang pretty Neil Young covers into the twilight.

The pub was built beam by beam from materials shipped over from England and Scotland, and it still has the bona fide look of a Tudor watering hole today, despite being built in 1979. Cunningham befriended the Pelican’s creator, Charles Felix, as he continued searching for his own old place to run. One day, while jogging out on the Panoramic Highway, Cunningham saw the old Mountain Home Inn, closed and in a bad state. Dengler had not been able to keep the historic restaurant open.
