During our visit to The Corner Lodge, we enjoyed a variety of activities our kids could do. The roominess of the house allowed all of us to be comfortable and relaxed. When we return to Idyllwild, we will definitely stay at The Corner Lodge again. The house was beautiful and very clean. Everything was in working order and it was very helpful to have a folder filled with information on local shops, activities, events and restaurants. We especially enjoyed the snow fall. It was awesome and beautiful!

Hi Denney,
I just wanted to wish you a very Merry Christmas ! I will never forget how sweet you were to go look for my childhood cabin in Idylwild. What a treasure hunt! That was so thoughtful & sweet. I loved seeing the pictures. It brought back so many wonderful memories.For my mom too.
We hope someday to be able to rent a cabin & make great memories for our own kiddos.My husband has been unemployed for 16 months, so not this year, but hopefully on to a better year.LOL.We are all healthy & together & thankful for that.
Also if my husband ever lets me get another Lab, I would love to come see yours. We miss our lab (but we do have 2 little Cavelier spaniel mixes). Im still wishing for a Labrador to take walking with me. Our old black lab, Sammy, looked so fierce that people would cross the street when I walked him. He was a big English lab (90 lbs!) with a beautiful blocky head. If only they knew he was afraid of tiny dogs! He didn`t have an aggressive bone in his body.
Anyway, wishing you & your family a Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year.
Take Care,
Marcy |

Hi Denney -
No snow, just rain, but we enjoyed ourselves nevertheless. I bundled my son up in a snowsuit and took him hiking anyway! The house couldn't have been lovlier and we had an awesome time. Thank you so much. We hope to be able to visit your property again. Best wishes for a wonderful holiday season. - Beth |

Hello Denney;
What a wonderful surprise we had waking up on Saturday morning....It was
like dream come true.
We have some great pictures...will have Andrew send you some of his...as he
takes great pictures..I have a few on my camera I shall put in a disk for you..
Wanted you to know we left rather quickly on Sunday...as it started to snow
again..and we were a bit concerned if the roads would be slippery coming
down off the hill.. I did not run the dishwasher..as I never like to leave an
appliance on when no one is in the house.. Normally I would have left them
clean.
The children used the spa once on Saturday eve...and they loved it... How
often can you sit in a spa when it is snowing???
We were so happy to have the sleds to play with......kids had a ball....they
were on the roads before the plows came..so had some good quality time in
the fresh snow. Snow as absolutely perfect for snow balls... The shovels in
the garage came in handy too...
I love all your re decorating...everything looked great....All your comforters
and towels looked lovely...
We bought a new oven thermometer...left it in the oven.. it does come in
handy...Like mine at home...the ovens are not always accurate..
Needless to say...............may we once again reserve your lovely home for
next Thanksgiving...
We come on Wednesday (before thanksgiving) and leave on Sunday..looking
ahead...I think its November 24,25,26,27 in 2010..
Hope your Thanksgiving was good too.

To The Herr Family,
This our first visit to The Corner Lodge (wish we had discovered your home several years ago) and we are enjoying it immensely!
Our grandson graduated this weekend from IAA and this has turned into a mini family reunion - Colorado, Alaska and CA. We are all so comforatable here - definately feels like a home to us, not just a rental. You have truly made this the perfect place.
Thank you, Kay |

We are packing up from a fabulous Halloween weekend in your lovely home in Idyllwild. The house was perfect for the four couples who traveled from all over to meet here.
We enjoyed spreading out in every room and loved the pool table, bbq and lots of places for quiet time.
The towels and linens are lovely and the house immaculate!
Thanks for sharing your home with us - we'll be back!

Hi Denny and Family, We just got back from four days at the Corner Lodge. We can't begin to tell you how much we all really enjoyed our stay. Your home is beautiful and just perfect for "our gang" Every room was so inviting and warm. We enjoyed the entire home from eating and playing games around the dining room table, watching movies and just talking in the living room. We enjoyed shooting pool, relaxing in the spa, wonderful walks around the neighborhood, shopping in town and listening to music at Joanne's. Everyone said that their bedrooms were great. We loved the master suit. Just perfect for Jim and me. We have been going to Idyllwild for close to 20 years but we must say that your home made it the best trip we have had. We all look forward to more times at your home but we agreed at the end of our trip that we want to make it a week long trip. Four days just didn't seem enough for all of us.
Thanks so much, Jim, Melissa, Linda, John and Gloria. |

We had a great time at your home. It was perfect for our group. Our 3 year old grandson loved the outside play area and the baby schooched all over the living room and kitchen. It was very quiet and peaceful and a good place to rest between wedding events.
Thanks for sharing your lovely home with us.

Our gratitude and thanks to the Herr Family for the time our family has spent at The Corner Lodge in celebration of our 50th wedding anniversary with our son and daughter and their lovely families.
Yes, this does feel as though we have enjoyed being in a home - verses a rental.
So many memories will travel home with us! And, thank you for your anniversary wishes with the delivery of flowers!

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 :) |

| We were very impressed with your home and wonder why you are not here all the time. Very warm feeling and sure could relax. I always feel quality when we go away, and our kid, Kelly...a black labrador mix, 17 months old, goes to the kennel. It was great to have a black lab picture everywhere we turned and to know there are other people as nutty about their dog. Havent't met you, but know you are good folks. Thanks for sharing your home and your furry friend photos... |

Dear Herr Family,
What a beautiful home you have. We are here for our 2nd year. We bring our sone to the school of arts. Although he did fracture his foot on the 2nd day here. So it did change our plans somewhat. We were able to have our friends and family join us. Had a great time down in the game room. Hope we can stay here again in the future. |

Thank You so much for the use of your wonderful home in the mountains. We have been coming here to Idyllwild since 1970 and really did enjoy our stay with our daughter and her husband, grandkids and other extended family. The gameroom was everyone's favorite. The spa was a treat for a "few" of us as the weather at night was cool. Hiking was taken in by the younger ones as the older generation stayed around the home. Our Easter Egg hunt was one of the best that we ever had and you might find an extra one or two that weren't found!
We plan to return.
Thank You Again!!! |

| Once a year a group of girlfriends come together from near and far to gather for a Christmas ornament exchange. We've been gathering since 1987, meeting at a different location every year. Being "City Girls", we were not sure of what to expect coming up to Idyllwild. A house in the woods can mean many things. However, you have a beautiful home and a great memory for each one of us to share. |
