about us

  Stayed in Cabin 20, a "New Rustic Suite", their best offering. We were not informed of the following: Open but no maid service. Fresh towels if you lay them... read more outside. Pack your own trash. Ask for details before reservation and again upon check in. We were told after the fact that a white book in room has other information about what you should and can do while in residence.
TV in living area with good selection of viewing. DVD in room. Pro: well kept, kitchenette has microwave, stove, middle size frig, small sink, all dishes, utensils, pans, etc., separate bedroom, tub/shower combo, toilet with door, fan, central heating and air, deck with 2 plastic chairs, small table. Overlooks trees and several other buildings at distance. Parking in front of cabin. Five steps up to deck and front door level. Con: bed is older sagging queen, very small toilet area. Location is 2 small blocks walking distance to town center with shops and restaurants. So... bottom line is price was appropriate but make sure you understand the requirements and conditions of your stay before you make the reservation. We may or may not stay again but I will be looking for somewhere else in Idyllwild that is better.

  We came to Idyllwild to get away and visit this town. The Inn is centrally located and within easy walking distance of the town. The cabin was spacious with its... read more own living room and bedroom. We stayed in room 22 and it had A.C., a small kitchen, and a front porch.

  Our favorite place to stay during our trips to Idyllwild! Josh and Emily do such a grand job and keeping this wonderful Inn up-to-date and fashionable!! We always... read more look forward to their annual Thanksgiving letter as well as the wonderful treats that they give the guests to celebrate during their stay. We have been staying in the Fall room for 13 years now to celebrate Thanksgiving. We also stay at other times during the year for much needed stress relief. Slight changes are always noticeable as soon as we walk in. We truly cherish our time in this wonderful location. Very happy to say that all COVID-19 protocols are being followed! Look forward to our next visit in February!

  This was our second trip to the Idyllwild Inn. We like the location as it is walking distance to the restaurants and shops. We had cabin 4 which is... read more a two bedroom cabin that will sleep 6 people. There was a kitchen that had a stove, refrigerator, microwave oven and coffee pot. The cabin was clean and large and there was a large deck on the back side. There was a fireplace, which we did not use, as it was hot the weekend we were there. There is a forced heating unit for the winter time. The only negative about the cabin was that there was no air conditioner. There were three fans in a closet that we put into the windows to circulate the air, but it was not enough. When we would come back to the room in the late afternoon, after a hike or walk, it was hot. We will not stay at the hotel during the heat of the summer again. We will go back at another time of the year, when it is cooler.

  We absolutely enjoyed our stay at the Idyllwild Inn, it’s in a fabulous central location in town. The cabins are rustic but very clean and quite spacious. We stayed in... read more cabin #3 with just a couple and two dogs and the space was perfect. I would highly recommended staying here. The rustic cabins do not have AC but do have heat and wood burning fireplaces, each also has a nice deck. Well equipped kitchens with everything you’d need to make a meal.

  BEAUTIFUL rooms...right in town. Professional and friendly staff. The owners are so accomadating we will stay again for sure. We stayed in a theme room just the two of us.... read more Before we left they let us look at one of their larger family cabins and AGAIN...beautiful and so perfectly located. We can't wait to bring the kids next time!

  We stayed in cabin 20 - described as a new rustic suite. It was great. We had a living room with fireplace, small kitchen with stove, refrigerator, table, etc. a... read more bedroom and a bathroom. They supply you with your first night's firewood (along with a fire-starter). If you want more wood, it's $8 for a load, good for at least one night, and they deliver it to your door.

Some of the units are duplex (as was ours), so you have a neighbor - other units are simplex, with no direct neighbors.

We had a great deck. The local grocery store sells "critter food" - peanuts and sunflower seeds. These aren't for human consumption, but the stellar jays LOVE them, as do the squirrels.

You put the food on the deck railing, and just watch the fun!

The cabins are easy walking distance from the center of town, where we walked each day for coffee & breakfast.

It's a great place to say!

  The cabins are constantly improving! Josh's hard work is evident. Our cabin got new curtains and new window, and new beautiful artwork!

This year... read more it was very sunny 50/60 degrees in daytime, but cold at night 30's. No snow on the ground this particular weekend, no rain, no snow. It was missed, but we had a wonderful family reunion nevertheless. That's one of the reasons we come up here because it usually not too much snow.

We had game night and picnics in the park. Long walks at Nature Center, fishing at the lake and of course shopping at the local shops!

See You Next year!

  Everything was great once we made the long trip up the mountain! We came right after the highway was washed away and came up the back way through 371,... read more but it was worth it. The whole family made it up!
We had so much snow we even decided to stay another day. We always come up for Presidents weekend and continually to Idyllwild Inn. Josh was out plowing the snow and it kept coming down!

The cabins are warn and cozy, just what you need in the kitchen to make meals. TV, big fireplace . Great place for some R&R. We’ve stayed in other cabins up here but this is the nicest place, I highly recommend the Idyllwild Inn. Just don’t take my cabin # 5 on Presidents weekend!

  We stayed in the “Indian” theme room. It was a beautiful room, everything in great working order and quiet.
The Inn is ideal to walk the town. Right next door... read more to Higher Grounds, a terrific coffee house, and close to lots of dining and shopping.
The people at the front desk were helpful and friendly.
In short, our stay exceeded our expectations and we will be back!
