There’s virtually something for everyone at The Grand Hall, including the serious athlete, children who simply want to frolic in the swimming pool and those who enjoy entertaining in a first-class facility.

The Grand Hall is 7,800 square feet of nonstop fun. Homeowners at Idyllwilde now enjoy a fully equipped exercise room with cardiovascular machines, free-weights and circuit training for the avid health enthusiast.

The Grand Hall showcases a hayloft with a billiards table, meeting and game rooms, plus a reading area that provides the perfect venue for enjoying the Sunday paper. There’s a grand entertainment room warmed by a cozy fireplace and featuring a big-screen plasma television and plenty of room to hang out with family and friends. Idyllwilde homeowners enjoy picnic tables and a barbeque pit that will make summer reunions or birthday parties very memorable. A fully equipped kitchen and adjoining rooms create a wonderful place for hosting robust parties and special receptions.
