Traditional

The Bunkhouse is a traditional old motel. Its cosy has a comfy bed and real cups, cutlery and a sink go along with a fridge, microwave and coffee maker. There's a small balcony off the back overlooking the forest. I was there on a weekend so breakfast is delivered to your door.

Nice wooden buckhouse

Overall the stay was pleasant. The hosts are friendly and approachable. Our room had a loft, going up stairs to the loft was quite scary as there were no poles on top to hold on to. A lot of creaking noises on the walls, loft if someone sleeps there. Its true you can hear cars zooming by constantly but they did provide ear plugs which helps a lot. We had a good time with our family.

A wonderful mountain retreat! My stay was comfortable and the hospitality great. The balcony was a particular highlight, the stars were bright at night and the forest alive in the morning. I would stay here again.

Cute and family friendly accommodations - nice to have a kitchenette and outside patio and our kids enjoyed the space. Location is close to town and the Idyllwild Nature Center. Street outside was a little noisy when out front, but it was not heard once inside. Overall, compared to other places we have stayed around town, we felt it was a really good deal for the price and a nice option for our family. Thank you!

We both enjoyed the fact that we were among only 3 other guests rooms occupied while we were there. For whatever reason(s) may be given, not receiving continental breakast monday through friday made us really sad. Especially since cant stay weekends. Its a good thing i had food with us for early our 1st morning stay. We enjoy the views and friendly staff. We'll be back soon.

The hotel was not far from the town. The room was okay for my son and I for the weekend. I like the look of the hotel however some areas could use a paint and the common areas a clean. My pillow smelled and I regretted not bringing an extra extra blanket to throw over the bed. I ended up putting my coat over the pillows. As we were leaving, our neighbor thought it was cool to let his dog poop next to my car and not pick it up!

Fun cabin-like experience in the pines

Fun cabin-like experience in the pines. Nice amenities- cutlery, fridge, microwave coffee maker. Pet friendly, friendly service w complimentary breakfast treats. Beds not great, walls very thin, and too expensive for what it is but probably the market price for the area.

1 star

When we walked in, my first impression was "wow, looks like a murder lodge". Do not expect any comforts here. The "beds" are really cots (and not just the bunk beds). The heat was broken and the rooms are drafty and cold. The bathroom was the size of an airplane bathroom (and so cold given the lack of heat). The walls are thin enough that you can chat with your neighbors. We were mislead by positive reviews. Our family agreed that we would rather camp than stay here again. For a few dollars more, you can stay at the other cute inns in town. Couldn't recommend less.
