About Crestline's San Moritz

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.

I take about a 3 mile walk almost every morning and it struck me the other day how lucky I am to live here. Some days I walk down to Lake Gregory which is about a 1/2 mile from my house. Below are some of what I see while I am walking, How beautiful is that ??? Not only do I have the fabulous views I get to see all our critters running around like squirrels and coyote plus you will meet some of the nicest people on the Lake Gregory trail.

Other days I just step outside my door and take the street that goes behind my house. On this course I come across a large stream and about 3 places that have waterfall like settings during the winter and rainy months. I took a few pictures today so you can see how amazing it can be to just step outside my door.

This is only two of the many places I could choose to take a walk. Living in the mountains is a privilege and such a blessing. Wouldn't you like to walk outside your door and find all this waiting for you.......

I just love my clients they are like family to me. Just about every other week I am either having lunch or dinner with them, or running into them at the post office and around town (it is my way of getting a hug for the day).

That is the best part of my job, becoming a part of your lives. This last summer I had a client appreciation party at Lake Gregory so we could all get together and enjoy one another. It really was such a good time. Phone numbers were exchanged and new friendships were made. You all are such great people that I had to get you together so you could meet, that much love needs to be spread around. It is an honor and a privilege to do what I do. I get to represent you and help you through what can be one of the most emotional and biggest decisions of your lives. At the end of the day and at the end of the transaction I want you all to feel like a job well done and that you have found your Realtor and friend for life......
