I love everything about this place especially for the price. I honestly never heard about Idyllwild until I came across this property on Expedia. The photos don’t do justice on how clean, beautiful and serene this place is. Plus, the staff are so amazing and accommodating. They communicate very well through text which makes it all the more efficient. I’ll definitely come back.

This property was easy to look at. The mattress on my bed was lumpy. There was an issue that I needed help with but was unable to get anyone at the front desk after 9:00 p.m. The main roads around the cabins were plowed for snow but the walkways were left unattended. I slipped twice getting to my car the day I checked out.

Everything is perfect. The staff, the room and the services. However, the rec room, you can only utilize the billiard table,the rest are either broken or missing. I would definitely recommend still.

Awesome Place!

It was a family trip and we all had a great time! It was cold but even the trip going to Tahquitz in Idyllwild was fun. Experiencing the cliff, scary but it’s all worth it. We love the cabin. The place was homey, clean and furnitures are updated. It was a peaceful and restful weekend. We’ll surely be back!

Not the most comfortable hotel room stay

Our hotel room had one of those adjoining doors to the neighboring room, which had zero sound insulation between the rooms. I woke up at 2:30 AM because my neighbors were talking. They weren’t even speaking loudly, but I could almost make out what they were saying and I couldn’t get back to sleep. Not being able to sleep in a hotel is a dealbreaker for me. The thermostat in the room also did not seem to control the heater. The room stayed at a constant 75° even when we turned the thermostat all the way down to 65. We ended up having to leave the window open to lower the temperature. The room seemed clean enough, except!! the fabric shower curtain in our bathroom had visible pink mold on the bottom edge that stank when it got wet. It must have been months since it was last washed. Like a gross campsite shower. That made me worry that maybe I should’ve worn slippers in the shower… Seems like these issues could be fixed easily with gaskets around the door, washing shower curtain with bleach, fixing the thermostat. Aside from all the issues with our particular room, the property seemed well kept and cute with lots of activities to keep you busy. I might stay again, but definitely not in a hotel room. Maybe a cabin next time.
