A wonderful stay at Strawberry Corner

We came with my sister and her family and had a simply wonderful time. We fed the birds, enjoyed the hammock, played darts and ping pong, felt cozy and comfortable and loved walking to and from town and down to Strawberry Creek. Will definitely be back!

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.

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.

Best rental in Idyllwild!

Happy 100 year anniversary to the coziest, prettiest, most comfortable cabin in Idyllwild. You don't look your age!We were blown away by the cabin's charm, but more importantly- our host, Lorraine, really "gets it" when thinking of what a guest needs. She was a great communicator and we had everything we could want while we were there including a fully stocked kitchen, comfortable beds and linens, ample space to unpack into, and hooks and pegs where needed (this is my pet-peeve in a lot of rentals: many have nowhere to hang your wet towel, coat, purse, ect.). I should be gate-keeping this lovely property but I won't! The inside of the main house and "Cowboy Cabin" are roomy and well-decorated, and the outdoor spaces are super nice and big with lots of places to sit and read or enjoy your coffee or wine.We will be making an annual winter trip to the Strawberry Cabin!

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!

Strawberry Corner - disappointed

While it was nice for dogs due to fencing being around all of property it is located on an extremely busy corner. Lots of cars, trucks, motorcycles and pedestrians. When we arrived we found the cabin had not been cleaned. Trash, unmade beds dirty kitchen, webs and dead and alive insects was not a welcome sight. While the master bed was comfortable the interior lighting throughout and the smokey smell in the great room was overpowering at times. This is an old cabin so most of the doors don’t close all the way with Jerry rigged bolts used to lock them. Some of the windows don’t lock at all. There is only a tub downstairs so if you want to shower you need to go upstairs. Needless to say we won’t be going back.

Perfect place for old college friends to meet

The house was ideal for our group of 6 meeting from various parts of the country. We spent most of our time visiting on the large deck, but also made the short walk into town for a couple of lovely dinners. The house is charming and comfortable, and was perfect for the six of us to hang out and catch up after many years of not seeing each other. Everyone loved it.

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!
