Treehouse Lodge

Welcome to Treehouse Lodge! Named from its scenic surroundings, this spacious lodge is nestled in the pines located right on Strawberry Creek. This is a great home to host a weekend with a big family/group. The property is less than a quarter mile from town.

Right when you walk in the door you are greeted by the large spacious living area with it’s tall ceilings and river-rock fireplace. The living room has a large TV and stereo, and is a great place for family game night, and even has a poker table as well for those who want to up the ante.

The Kitchen and dining room are also very open and spacious. The kitchen is equipped with all the pots, pans, dishes and utensils one could possibly need. The long dining table seats 8 people, which is great for a family dinner.

Sleeping arrangements are not an issue if there are multiple couples/families. The home has 4 private bedrooms. Downstairs the home has two master bedrooms both with their own private bathrooms and private access to the deck. There are two additional bedrooms: one with a queen bed, one with a double. There is also a third full sized bathroom.

In addition, upstairs there is a loft area that can serve as a 5th bedroom. The loft has a bunk bed with a queen sized bed on the bottom and a single on top, perfect for the kids. The loft area also has a foosball table and a VCR player with a collection of classic VHS tapes. The home has Wi-Fi as well as an office area for those who need to check-up on emails or work while away from the office.

The most popular spot at the home is the deck. The deck is nice and spacious, with plenty of outdoor seating for both dining and lounging around. There is a BBQ on the deck as well as a fire pit with nice outdoor lounge seating. The deck is a great spot to hang out on with the group, enjoying the fresh air surrounded by the pine trees, listening to the babbling creek, cozying up by the fire pit with your favorite people.

  This was our second Christmas spent at The Treehouse. We love this house, it is so comfortable, well-stocked, clean and the location is perfect for easy walks into town. Dishwasher broken this year, which is the only downside to the condition of the property.

  • Manager Responded on 1/5/2018

    Lauren, Thank you for your review on our Treehouse Lodge. We are so ahppy to hear that you enjoyed your Christmas at Treehouse Lodge this year. We apologize about the dishwasher. The owner actually ordered a brand new, stainless steel dishwasher for the property and tried to expedite the shipping. Unfortunately due to the holidays being busiest time of the year for deliveries the dishwasher was unable to get to the property in time. We look forward to welcoming you and your family back to Idyllwild in the future for a future stay. Warm Regards, Michaela New Spirit Vacation Homes

  My family and I just love this house. There's plenty of room to spread out, the creek is just steps off the back deck and perfect for the 6yo and 9yo to build dams and float little boats in. We walked to the playground and the town several times, and our little dogs were so happy to have a fenced-in yard when they weren't out on walks or snuggling inside with us. We'll be back for New Year's Eve!

  What a beautiful home! The Tree House is right along the creek, close to town, beautiful large living room that was open to kitchen and dining areas. Many updates throughout the house that showed the owner cares about maintaining a nice property. Great for our large group with kids. The kids loved the loft, there were lots of games, and great creek exploration right outside. The scenery from the patio was lovely. We did lots of bird and squirrel watching and grilling out there. We even roasted marshmallows on the fire pit. We could stroll along the creek (considered a "hike" for our toddlers, but only a half mile) right into town. Easy access to the park for the kids and the great new brewery for the adults (though the kids loved bocce ball there too). Location and condition were amazing!
  
  Other notes: There is one bedroom that is significantly smaller than others, so family room equity was a challenge (which it always seems to be). ALso, we had an incident where a glass lamp shade fell from the central ceiling fan. Monica from New Spirit was easily reached in the late evening. She sent out a maid to clean and a repair man to take a look at it first thing in the morning. Since we could not use this central fan, they brought us additional fans (this was a VERY hot weekend) and a lovely bottle of wine.
  
  All the employees we worked with were friendly and helpful, excellent customer service. We would definitely recommend this company and the Tree House and will be back for future stays :-)
  
  Thank you New Spirit!
  The Leavitts and Company!

  Killer location and very nice house right on the creek and within walking distance to town. The house was fully stocked and well maintained. There is a fenced in area up front for dogs and a nice walking path behind the home along the creek.

  Katie H from San Diego, CA recommends this vacation rental

  Spent a 4-day weekend at the home with 3 adults and 4 active children (ages 5, 7, 7 and 8yo). The kids had a blast playing around the creek that runs just 10 yards from the back deck, and we walked along the trail to town (takes 5-30 mins depending on how distracted you get with the beautiful trees and playground!). The fireplace was toasty and kitchen was well-stocked, though one of the stove burners didn't work and it's a really old stove/oven and dishwasher. Everything else was wonderful and we will definitely return for a future visit!

  • Manager Responded on 5/19/2017

    Hello, Thank you for your review! Your feedback is highly valued to us. We apologize about the issues the stove. Regarding the stove, we can assure you that it does work. Unfortunately the cleaning ladies do not make sure that the burners are properly reconnected when they clean the stove. We have added it to our quality control check list to ensure that the burners are in fact connected correctly before guests check in to the property. We are so happy that you enjoyed your stay and look forward to your next visit! Best Regards, New Spirit Vacation Homes

  The Treelodge was a wonderful experience for me and my family while I coached at the summer music program. It's very spacious and equipped with everything you need. You step out into nature and walks all around. It's a 5 minute walk to town and next to a playground area for children. The house was clean, lovely linens and overall a fantastic experience.
