Idyllwild Inn

10/10 Excellent

"We love staying at Idyllwild Inn with our small dog which is allowed in the cabins. We go at least once a year to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We love Gastronome's restaurant for a fine dining experience and we can walk to it from the Idyllwild Inn. Also shopping and The Red Kettle restaurant are within walking distance."

Tahquitz Pines Retreat

8/10 Good

"We ate in the Restaurant The Pines the food is so good , the cabin was clean. The bed was not comfortable for me and we found a little mouse in one of the bedrooms and the staff managed fast for the situation"

"I really enjoyed the surrounding trees. It is very quiet as well. A small cottage in the woods. The property is well maintained.I like the kitchen in the cabin. It makes me feel like home with everything you need to prepare a meal. The heating is great too.Thank you for making me a nice getaway!"

Secluded 1 acre Mountain Home - Hot Tub, 3 Decks & Direct National Forest Access

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful family week-end in this beautifully decorated, super well equipped and very comfortable house !Plenty of space to accommodate the 6 of us with common areas to share time together (with a lot of board games available) and enough separate spaces to respect each other privacy. The kitchen has all you need to cook any kind of food, the bathrooms are super clean, the beds are all comfortable, the spa is spacious and the decks very well furnished. The outdoor offers plenty of space for any activities and a direct access to the trails !The description on Vrbo is accurate and communication with the hosts was smooth.Lots of fond memories were made there, we will be back soon !"

Mountain Cabin - Old Idyllwild Charm! Dog friendly. Minutes from the village.

10/10 Excellent

"Host was super responsive with questions. The property itself was adorable. We loved the vintage feel to the cabin. The decks were nice and it was nice that it was pet friendly! It was clean, cute and close to town. We had a very nice time and I would highly recommend for pet owners to stay here."

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."
