They planned to still use that building, perhaps as a beach snack/bar. There was no reason to remove it, unless they wanted totally unobstructed views for the seafront cottages on that side. The view at the moment is not looking good, and won't for a bit. I would hope it wasn't a planned burn, particularly with guests staying so close to it.
Clean up is moving fast today
My first post....looooooong time lurker. Thanks for posting this Gail. We are due there this weekend. We love that place. Been going for years and years. Monique must be freaking out. Can't bring myself to call. I'll wait to see her in person. So happy that no one was hurt.
Glad to hear no one was hurt. Had breakfast on my most recent trip and really enjoyed it. Hoping to return next reach. I loved the stained glass windows! Glad they're able to get back up so soon.

Loved, loved loved this restaurant and bar.We were just there in June. It was so cute and beautiful views. It was our happy place too. Spoke with the GM and he said they were keeping it because so many people loved it. Happy no one was hurt, hopefully the staff will be starting back soon.
We're they able to save the stained glass?

We were there at Tree House, staying in Suite A (the posted photo from the fire was taken alongside the porch). When we woke up around midnight the restaurant was fully engulfed in flames, and the fire company arrived soon after that. It was pretty scary from our location. A very intense fire - the propane tank for the stove was open (a good thing - the fire burned the hose) and the tank gassed out and burned for probably 45 minutes or so. That was the sound that woke us up. The trees along the property between Gail's and Country Country are singed but look like they'll recover. It's very fortunate that it didn't spread beyond the restaurant. We just got home yesterday so haven't unloaded our photos yet.
Saw some pictures on FB, looks like they cleaned things up pretty quickly. Hope they rebuild soon, that was one of the closest spots to the ocean...
This makes me so very sad! Had the best banana pancakes there last Saturday, the day before the fire. We stayed in the first cottage to the right of the bar/restaurant. That would have been too close for comfort! I am happy to hear no one was hurt, but it makes me sad for the servers & cooks who are now without a job...
What??? This picture looks like nothing happened?
