- In 1895 two English families, the Rawlins & the Robertson's developed the property into a private family retreat. Its boundaries extended from Livermore Avenue to where the Monarch Butterfly Sanctuary is today. In the 1920s the estate was sold to a wealthy California oil family, the Hanchets. They were the first to build additional cottages for guests, and renamed the property "El Salto Resort". Celebrities like actress Mary Pickford, tennis star Helen Willis and even the infamous Al Capone were among those guests. In the 1940s, it was purchased by Capitola Mayor Al Tabachini who officially turned it into a family style resort. In 1963 it was purchased by Elizabeth Blodgett. Elizabeth was an educator with an avid love for children and animals. She was a known animal activist and had four solely supported animal sanctuaries in northern California. It remains in the Blodgett family to this day, and was renamed the "Monarch Cove Inn," in 1991 to honor our Monarch Sanctuary.
