It's the ultimate Idyllwild vacation home! There is something about Strawberry Corner that brings back memories of a sweet life, of baking pies and sitting by the fire, of feeling a part of a little town. This home gives everyone a feeling of the 'way it used to be'.... it enchants, delights, relaxes and intrigues all visitors. It just feels like 'home sweet home'.

Places like this are priceless and it is our great joy to have our guests experience the same feelings we have every time we open the antique wood door with the stained glass strawberry window!

Rustic two story Cabin plus guest "Cowboy Cabin" ! Huge rock fireplace, hardwood floors, paned windows, charming first class decor!

This has one of most authentic living rooms in Idyllwild..... full of charm and ambiance! Comfortable leather sofas to sink into and gather around the river rock fireplace. Open 'barn doors' and french doors to the deck and watch the birds and squirrels. Enjoy a cup of coffee on the deck watching the sun come up over the mountains.

Evening is perfect for a glass of wine with family and friends watching the sun go down over the creek. A lovely dining room has a formal table for six for family dinners.

Nice Location for visiting Idyllwild

First time trip to Idyllwild. Very convenient location for walking into town although the initial part is without sidewalks. It’s only about 5-10 minute walk. The house is ok. Exterior areas getting a little rough. First floor bed was comfortable.

Strawberry Corner

Large corner fenced lot with charming decorative touches and a gazebo. Easy walk to town. The home is amazing with antiques and everything we needed for a relaxing happy get away. Really comfy king sized bed. Our little dog was safe on the deck and we could hear the creek when we sat there.

Strawberry Corner was Wonderful!

We all had such a wonderful time staying at Strawberry Corner! The location was close to town for walking to shops and restaurants, and the grounds were so beautiful and forested! The owners decorated this wonderful historic cabin for the holidays which made it so festive! Thank you for making this such a special spot for our family weekend getaway!

Mountain Getaway

Very cute and charming house with an extremely rustic vibe. Garage disposal wasn’t working, the doors were challenging to open and lock and it was cold downstairs while hot upstairs. The fourth bedroom was detached from the house and we weren’t able to turn on electricity after multiple times. The decor was adorable and unique and the location was great. It’s very old which is part of the charm but you need to be aware of appliances not working if more than one was plugged in. It was great for a girls trip if you are going for a low maintenance laid back weekend.

A Very Charming Cabin

This cabin was just as adorable in real life as it is in the pictures. I loved the theme, the antiques, and the cozy feeling of being at this picturesque cabin in the mountains. You can see Strawberry Creek from the cabin, it was beautiful while we were there! The cabin is in the perfect location close to the center of town, we enjoyed our stay.

Great Location

It’s a charming cabin within easy walking distance to town. The creek near by ads a nice background sound when you’re out on the back balcony. It could use some upgrades in the kitchen and some updated glassware. An outdoor BBQ would be a huge upgrade.

About the host

Hosted by Loraine Dyson

Host profile image
Hi! I'm Loraine!
We love Idyllwild! Being in the real estate field as brokers, developers and investors for over 40 years, my husband and I know a choice property when we see it... and this is one! It took us all of five minutes to decide we had to own this treasure for our personal enjoyment. Now it's available as the ultimate Idyllwild vacation home! There is something about Strawberry Corner that brings back memories of a sweet life, of baking pies and sitting by the fire, of feeling a part of a little town. This home gives everyone a feeling of the 'way it used to be'.... it enchants, delights, relaxes and intrigues all visitors. It just feels like 'home sweet home'. Places like this are priceless and it is our great joy to have our guests experience the same feelings we have every time we open the antique wood door with the stained glass strawberry window! This house is perfect for those who want healing, restoration, romance, quality family time with the kids of all ages, peace and quiet, creativity, and personal renewal!

Why they chose this property

We purchased this home in 1998 when our daughter was three so we could have an authentic vacation lifestyle far from the busy cities or glitzy resorts. Idyllwild was clearly the best choice since it's within easy driving distance from the desert, San Diego, Orange County and Los Angeles. We loved the 'Norman Rockwell' small town feeling and the darling stores, crafting, hiking and great restaurants. It's so picturesque there! We feel safe and secure being so close to the village and were blessed to find a home that reflects the history of Idyllwild. It's been wonderful here and we would like to share the experience with others. We love being on the creek, which is a prime location in Idyllwild. We felt this home had it all! Location! Creek! Charm! Condition!

What makes this property unique

We love all the seasons! In the winter it's a WINTER WONDERLAND and the snow makes for a magic we rarely get to experience. SPRING brings out the colors and the green, SUMMER is divine with sunshine and warmth! and of course the FALL is enchanting with the leaves turning and a crispness to the air. Many guests have said it's the most romantic place they've been and we've had one proposal! Just sitting around relaxing and talking after a hike or stroll into the village is so great. I have to say it's really super for afternoon naps on the comfy couch too!
