San Moritz homes in Crestline, Ca are the homes and area right around the beautiful Lake Gregory. The homes of San Moritz began as the exclusive area of Crestline where you were a member of the beautiful San Moritz Lodge, with the ability to utilize the facility and be considered a San Moritz property owner.
The Club San Moritz was incorporated in 1939 with the purpose of promoting "art, amusements and entertainment; to provide club accomodations; to promote physical and social welfare of members and their families and guests; to bring together, unite and cement friendships and fraternal associations among such persons as may be admitted to membership therein."(Moritz Yodeler, November 1955, from the walls of the San Moritz lodge).
At the time in the early 50s, owning a piece of San Moritz was the "in" thing to do. You were able to brag to your friends about having a vacation cabin in the exclusive San Moritz area of Crestline. Your membership in the club allowed you to use the facilities without charge. They had dancing, volleyball, croquet, fishing, shuffleboard, beach swimming, tennis, boating, ping-pong, horseshoes, bridge, canasta, checkers, chess, chinese checkers, tetherball, movies, picnic grounds, swings and teeter-totters(Moritz Yodeler, November 1955, from the walls of the San Moritz lodge).
The lodge is a county run facility, and for reservations of the lodge for weddings, reunions, and other functions, visit here.
The lodge is simply beautiful, and as you walk into the foyer you feel and smell the history of the mountains. You can hear the ghosts of the music and dancing and laughter of all the parties and shindigs that the San Moritz lodge has hosted. THe picture below shows the predecessor to the lodge and Lake Gregory. The clubhouse was renovated into the San Moritz lodge, and Lake Gregory was made much bigger, and in 1938 was filled in 3 days with the worst winter weather ever on record at that time.
