Lookout Lodge: Mountain Moments to Remember

We stayed here with a group of 6 adults and 4 kids and had a wonderful time in Idyllwild. The location is excellent, the house size was perfect for our large group, and we absolutely loved the beautiful views and outdoor space.However, we were quite disappointed with the cleanliness and maintenance upon arrival. The house was very dusty and dirty, as if it hadn’t been cleaned or visited in a long time, and we had to wipe down most surfaces ourselves just to feel comfortable. A few of the pots and pans still had grease and stains on them. The downstairs room felt dark and uninviting, and we completely avoided using it after lifting the covers and having a bug fly out. Lastly, while we understand rodent traps are common in mountain properties, there was an exposed trap placed right in the main living area under a chair where our young kids were playing, which felt unsafe.We still managed to have a great family trip, but the poor upkeep when we arrived was definitely off-putting. With a deep clean and better attention to detail, this could easily be a 5-star property.

It was an awesome place. Perfect for our family! Beautiful, spacious, close to town, and a great place for pretty walks and hikes. We took our two kids, their spouses and 6 grandkids. We had a fun, memorable weekend. And I was amazed by how many games you have there!

Everything was great, we all enjoyed it

We had a wonderful family vacation here, with all five of our kids and our dog. The cabin was super fun and cozy, the puppet theater was a big hit, as were the fireplace and hot tub. Thank you!

Off the beaten path, just outside of town and so lovely! The layout of house is perfect, we had 7 people and plenty of space. Outside has all kinds of hidden gems, like the outdoor daybed, puppet playhouse, hammock and a grass area that was perfect for us to sit and have morning coffee. We would definitely come back!

Great , amazing views, great internet, big enough for 10 plus. A little problem with gps directions ,but overall amazing. Had a wonderful experience.

We had a wonderful 4th of July weekend at Lookout Lodge! A beautiful home with stunning views. Lots of space to move around (3 levels). Outdoor hot tub, ping pong table, and another “chilaxation” area under the deck. We will be back again next year!

A little of everything. Huge garden to get a break from the noise. Well stocked kitchen. Beautiful porch with panoramic views. Easy drive into town. Already talking about when we will be back

The property was as described with a great location and stunning views. The kids loved all the space the home offered, and took over the media room as their sanctuary from the adults, which was a win win. It was a great place to relax and enjoy time with family.

This place is amazing and perfect for families. The outdoor space was spectacular, the kids ages 6 to 11 spent hours playing and exploring. The views are absolutely stunning, we can't wait to come back at least twice a year!
