History
Originally settled in the 1860s, the first settlers included many strawberry farmers. The area would first be known as Strawberry Flat. Some of the first buildings to be constructed in the town include the now gone Squirrel Inn, the still-standing Antlers Inn, and the also still-standing Pine Rose Cabins. The Antlers Inn originated in 1919 when some 20 cabins were simultaneously constructed around a central lodge then known as the Alpine Terrace Resort.
Calvary Chapel Bible College
In 1975, Calvary Chapel Bible College purchased and renovated the Monte Corona resort, repurposing it as a Biblical college and Conference Center. In 1994, C.C.B.C. would relocate to Murrieta, California and the former site would become repurposed as a Christian Conference Center. C.C.B.C. returned to Twin Peaks in July 2022 after nearly 30 years and began massive renovations & projects on all campus buildings.
