Ayelet’s Fave Hotel Burns Down

A history hunting retreat in California favored by Ayelet Waldman and Michael Chabon was leveled by a fire Wednesday, the San Francisco Chronicle reported.

Manka’s Inverness Lodge, located in Marin County, was known for its gourmet cuisine. Artists and celebrities, including Robert Redford, Brad Pitt, Chabon and Waldman, frequented the famed inn. Waldman said she and Chabon often went to Manka’s for pleasure and to work.

“We’ve gone there for countless romantic weekends,” Waldman said.

“It was our favorite hotel, absolutely. It was like the most gorgeous hunting lodge you’ve ever been to. Everything was rustic, but exquisite,” she said. “It just breaks my heart.”
