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!

Idyllwild getaway

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.

Amazing home, stunning views!!

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!

Nice property but needed more attention to details

The property was nice with great view. However, not as organized and clean as expected. the kitchen condiments and plates very unorganized and run down. Bathrooms and towels were very old and no shampoo or conditioner left to be used. Downstairs bedroom very cold. Property had big rooms and bathrooms and overall comfortable.

Lookout Lodge

The house is spacious, well stocked except for table knives (only one), has wonderful views, close to the town, pleasant neighborhood, large interesting multi level property and very hot water. Had a very pleasant time there with another couple and our pets.

Cozy yet spacious

We had a great family getaway in the pines! Positives: spacious, comfortable beds, very clean, inviting living room with fireplace, sooooo many board games, movie room with extensive dvd collection, quiet area, responsive host, spectacular views! Cons: the only con I can think of is that the kitchen is not super well organized or stocked- but that might be because we are a family of cooks. It does have all the basics one would need to cook a great meal, just don’t expect a gourmet kitchen.

We were a group of long time friends ~all women. Great location, quiet neighborhood. Large house with good sleeping arrangements. The place is old and things a little tired, but overall quite accommodating & comfortable. The host is a terrific communicator! Thanks! We enjoyed our stay!

Great place for a family reunion

Great location; spacious with enough seating areas to allow for privacy and also for entire family activities. We loved the view from the deck and enjoyed bird watching.

Pleasant Stay at Lookout Lodge

We were a group of 8 women for annual women's retreat. The views are beautiful and plenty of space. The house was clean and comfortable. We enjoyed the hot tub. The kitchen layout is great for group meals but there definitely needs to be some updated pans in the kitchen and some of the cupboards are falling apart. The stove is pretty old and one of the main burners only worked on high. We did a lot of cooking so this was somewhat of an issue. Not major flaws but should be addressed for a rental that caters to larger groups. The owner James was very nice in our communication.

Good Property

The Location of and view from this property is amazing! The only issues we had were lack of cleanliness of the interior of the home and yard. Inside is In need of a deep cleaning. Every plate, glass, utensil we tried to use needed to be washed before use. Bath towels were stained and smelled so musty we washed those prior to use also. The exterior/yard has the potential to be incredible but it is cluttered with old potted plants and is very overgrown, in need of a good yard cleanup. there were also numerous bottle caps, straws, ribbons etc all over the yard. Took my kids and grandkids on this trip and we had a great time.

Great property for a group of couples looking to get away. The property is huge!

Our group consisted of 4 couples, a single and two kids and the place was more than spacious both inside and out. Plenty of deck space overlooking the valley for afternoon cocktails. The dining room area and table was a little small for our group but we didn’t have a formal sit down meal. The hot tub is hidden down below the main house and is worth the trek. Secluded on the hillside you feel like you are on a separate property. I wouldn’t recommend this property to people with toddlers or walking issues. There are stairs and uneven ground throughout the property but if you don’t have an issue with that it’s easily doable, even after having our fill of the local brewery. We brought our own grill(traeger snobs) but they had two grills on site except they are on the bottom floor below the kitchen which would have made for a bit of a hike. Overall, a great place and we would definitely come back again. Communication was great and check in and out was a breeze. The location was right outside of town but far enough to feel secluded. Can’t wait for our next get together here.
