Sparrows Lodge
Originally built as Castle’s Red Barn in 1952 by MGM actor Don Castle and his wife Zetta, it was one of the original resort getaways for Hollywood elite. Legend has it that iconic actress Elizabeth Montgomery had her first marriage at the Red Barn. The property has also had incarnations as Catalina Palms, El Rancho Lodge, and now Sparrows Lodge. The Lodge was fully restored in 2013, and many of the original buildings are still in use with modern updates, retaining the charm of the original Red Barn.
