Inscription. Guests at the Pope estate had the option of staying in one of three unique cabins, each with its own charm.

Many liked the "Log Cabin" best because it was closest to the lake. The cabin across and up the lawn called the "Pachero," was reserved for guest who wanted a more luxurious stay. The "Twin" cabin, with four bedrooms and two bathroom, could accommodate a fairly large party.

The Pacheco building was named after Tevi's father-in-law Romualdo Pacheco, the first native Californian governor born in the state.
