about us

  The cabin was rustic yet updated, spacious and super clean. It had a fantastic deck under the pines. Ours was a one bedroom that was attached to another along one... read more wall. The decks were at least ten feet away from one another. The kitchen had a slove and a microwave, frig, sink & plates and utensils, even pots, etc. The family that owns this beauitful place for many years and all the people that work there couldn't be nicer. Oh, and I think it has the best location in town. Walk to Idyllwild Pizza & Red Kettle. Heard Ferro is really good, but it was closed the day we were there.

  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.

  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!

  My family has been visiting Idyllwild for many years and the Idyllwild Inn is always our preferred place to stay. When my children were young, we preferred the rustic atmosphere... read more in the cabins. We made fires every night in the fireplace and would leave peanuts outside the cabin so we could watch the squirrels. There is no better location in Idyllwild and this is as central as you can get. Once you arrive, you park your car and can walk everywhere from your cabin. There are restaurants, shopping, and even a market within walking distance. Now that my children have grown up, my husband and I enjoy staying in the "new rustic cabins." These are duplex units, but still retain the rustic cabin interiors and exteriors. They provide ample room for 2-4 people. There is a small kitchen with table and chairs, living room with fireplace, sofa & chair and a large bedroom and bath area. If you have a larger group you can book adjoining duplex units. I've been visiting Idyllwild for over 30 years and still love visiting the Idyllwild Inn.

  I called early on the day that I wanted to stay and they had a room open for the night. I stayed in the “Summer” room. The room was nice... read more and had a fireplace. The smell in the room is a pleasant fireplace scent. They put a bundle of wood in the room with matches and a firestarter packet. Everything seemed to be clean and it’s an easy walk to several restaurants. I look forward to visiting again.

  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!

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.

Look forward to our next visit in February!
