Top Lake Hemet Hotel Reviews

Idyllwild Inn

8/10 Good

"Everything was great, the only downside was that my room smelled like mildew making it hard for me to sleep. The morning after we opened the door and windows to air out and it was better."

Tahquitz Pines Retreat

10/10 Excellent

"The room was very clean. The property itself was well maintained and beautiful. Would definitely go back for another stay."

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

8/10 Good

"Idyllwild is a glorious place! Our multigenerational family enjoyed our stay over a long weekend. Our family enjoyed the unique experience of sitting in the sauna--nice. The sunset from the deck as we ate dinner, was absolutely amazing! Thank you,"

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

10/10 Excellent

"Very comfortable cabin perfect for the two of us and our little pup. Fenced backyard is a huge plus! Our second stay here."

Magical Mountain Hideaway

10/10 Excellent

"Property was pretty much as listed. Everything was fine. Short distance on road was a little hard for my car. Other Done that a good time."

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."
