Map & Owner's Profile
Welcome to the Corner Lodge in Idyllwild!
Year Purchased: 2002
Why the Owner Chose Idyllwild
We were spending each getaway in Idyllwild. After experiencing many rentals and local Inn's, we rented our vacation home and it was for sale. The rest is history and after the purchase, we named the house, The Corner Lodge because of it's location.
The Unique Benefits at this Mountain Home
The smell of the pine trees is soothing. The sights of the squirrels scampering up the tree is comical, hiking, biking, walking, browsing in town, and socializing with locals at Cafe Aroma's. The pace is slower and it allows us to regroup.
Wonderful dining ambiance for breakfast, lunch or dinner. www.cafearoma.org
Great for the kids or adults. Paint a piece of pottery to take home as a souvenier.
Home of the August Jazz in the Pines. Seasonal art school and summer classes for adults and children.

Hi Denny, Your home was absolutely perfect for us! We would like to come back next year and perhaps make this an annual event Your home was uplifting for all of us. The children loved the swing set and played on it for an hour at a time. We also caught ladybugs in the vinca. (We watered it and some of the small trees, bushes, and lilacs.) We also had fun playing pool and in the spa. I reported to the property management that one of the little ones swallowed a big gulp of spa water and then threw up. We got as much out as possible. The cleaning service will be draining and cleaning the spa. I am so sorry. My son-in law also broke a clear glass pyrex bowl which we will pay for, also. I'm sorry we missed your call. The gorgeous flowers you sent me were such a delightful surprise. Thank you so much for brightening my weekend. The girls and I think that you must be a wonderful lady and we were honored to have stayed in your home-away from home. How should I contact you about making arrangements for next year? Sincerely, Linda

Thank You so much for letting us stay in your beautiful Lodge:) This opportunity is greatly appreciated. It was very relaxing. Although it was very chilly, the house was warm. The pool table was fun. I did not use the Jacuzzi, but my parents did. When we come up here, we get a cabin and this one was great. Thank you.

Hello Herrs... From the moment I walked into your mountain home, with my arms filled with fresh cut Daffodils to brighten up this Corner Lodge, (where all my family was coming to spend Easter) and to my delight, I discovered that The Corner Lodge was a beautifully decorated lovely home that didn't need the fresh cut flowers to brighten it's corners. I took a poll and discovered these are some of the BESTEST things we liked about our visit. Andy...Son in law: The hospitality and friendliness of the merchants of Idyllwild. All of us: Loved the beds and bedding and the feeling like you were in a bird's nest in the trees. Krisse...my daughter: Loved that it snowed and Rylee got to experience the magic of watching it fall, making snow angels and a snowman and sliding down the slide and swinging on the tire swing. Rob and Donna: Enjoyed the jacuzzi and looking at the snowman and the stars that twinkled bright. Georgia and Art...Aunt and Uncle: Loved the magic of being with family in the snow and watching Rylee's first snow experience. Debbie...Gram Bee: Loved the whole weekend with my wonderful family and the magic of The Corner Lodge! Thank You from us all...

...I just wanted to say a quick Thank You for this weekend. My dad's birthday turned out amazing! The Lodge was perfect. Our entire family felt at home and was able to spend quality time together while getting away from our busy lives. Your hospitality and graciousness was truly appreciated! The kids loved playing outside and the adults loved the Jacuzzi :)
