Bluebird Cottage Inn

10/10 Excellent

"If you go to this place make a point to stop by the office and say hello to Tony, owner and host extrodannaire. His warm and kind welcome will make you feel at home. My friend and I arrived early and he got our room cleaned and ready for an earlier than usual check in. I really appreciated that. I will definitely go back to this Inn when I go to Idyllwild again. Thank you Tony!"

Pet friendly cabin-Fully fenced yard! Pets stay free!

10/10 Excellent

"Property was warm and welcoming, my dogs and I enjoyed the peaceful time we had there."

3-Bedrooms in Idyllwild - AC, Jacuzzi, Sauna, Fitness-Game Room, Epic Views

10/10 Excellent

"It’s a beautiful home in a great location. It had all the room our group needed and the kitchen was both well stocked and a delight to cook in. There was a glitch with the wifi, Kristin was quick to communicate, provided information about available wifi in town, arranged for the repairs and provided a discount for our inconvenience. I would absolutely and highly recommend this home away from home."

Cozy Idyllwild cabin near San Jacinto Mountains

10/10 Excellent

"We loved the space. We have a special diet so a working kitchen was a must and this rental delivered. Cabin was comfortable with AC in August. We are glad we booked it for our next trip too!"

Charming dog-friendly home with covered deck, W/D, & mountain view

8/10 Good

"We loved our stay in this cabin! It was perfect for our group of four adults. It was a great space to relax, work a puzzle, and play games. We enjoyed the outside patio and the nice breeze. We prepared several meals at home, and the kitchen was adequately equipped. There are also some great hiking trails nearby. We were there during a hot week with the highs in the 90s. I was concerned that we would be really uncomfortable and disappointed that there was no AC. But by opening up the house when it had cooled down every night, using the fans for airflow, and leaving it open until the morning, we were able to keep it cool enough.As others have stated, the driveway is steep. One of our low sitting cars scraped a little when pulling in or out of the driveway. There was a small issue with refrigerator leaking onto the floor. It didn’t seem to affect the performance fridge or freezer, although they were on the older side and had no water or ice dispenser. Customer service responded appropriately, and hopefully it is resolved now.I think it should also be noted that the entrance to the loft area is through the door of the master bedroom. So just beware of that if you’re planning to use that area as a sleeping area. We had an EV and a hybrid which we needed to charge. Using a long extension cord from the porch area down to the driveway, we were able to charge one vehicle at a time. We would stay here again, given the opportunity, especially in more moderate weather."

Lookout Lodge: Mountain Moments to Remember

8/10 Good

"We stayed here with a group of 6 adults and 4 kids and had a wonderful time in Idyllwild. The location is excellent, the house size was perfect for our large group, and we absolutely loved the beautiful views and outdoor space.However, we were quite disappointed with the cleanliness and maintenance upon arrival. The house was very dusty and dirty, as if it hadn’t been cleaned or visited in a long time, and we had to wipe down most surfaces ourselves just to feel comfortable. A few of the pots and pans still had grease and stains on them. The downstairs room felt dark and uninviting, and we completely avoided using it after lifting the covers and having a bug fly out. Lastly, while we understand rodent traps are common in mountain properties, there was an exposed trap placed right in the main living area under a chair where our young kids were playing, which felt unsafe.We still managed to have a great family trip, but the poor upkeep when we arrived was definitely off-putting. With a deep clean and better attention to detail, this could easily be a 5-star property."
