Slice of heaven

Absolutely amazing! I booked one night and about twenty minutes later decided to book a second night through hotel tonight. I was worried this would be a nightmare as I requested that the two reservations be combined so we wouldn't have to check out and check back in, which I was told we would have to do, this was a bummer. Upon arriving at the hotel we were warmly greeted, even though we had just come off the PCT and smelled rancid. We were offered a very sincere apology that the two reservations could not be combined - we expected to be homeless from 11am to 4pm but the office offered to hold our bags and we wanted to see the town anyway so no big deal. The next morning to our surprise at checkout we were told we could simply leave our bags in the room and not vacate for the 5 hours. EXCELLENT customer service! Rooms are fresh, clean, and new. Very comfortable beds. All the staff were beyond friendly and helpful, this includes the staff at the restaurant. Food and drinks were fabulous as well. This place is a real gem.

Rooms were clean. Whoever designed the property site did a great job. However, whoever designed the rooms didn’t make them feel like you’re in the mountains or feel warm. They sort of dropped the ball on the interior of the rooms. It is a very clean property. We appreciated that.

We loved the quaint little cabin rooms with bunk beds. The wall in kinda thin with the other cabin room sharing the unit. Still was so nice. Comfy bed, nice patio area. The common areas were always well maintained, except the rec room. The pool table and other equipment seems dated and abused. Overall we loved it and we're going back.

The property is very nice. Keep in mind that your cabin may not look anything like what the pictures show. The set up for our two bedroom cabin was awkward but still nice. Check in was the only issue, we got there 8 minutes early and the room wasn’t ready yet, which ok I was a few minutes early, but they couldn’t give me a time frame for the room to be ready. So I didn’t know if I should leave or wait somewhere on the property. They called around 30 minutes later telling me the room was ready. So we went back to check in they told me where the cabin was, we go to the cabin and they’re still cleaning it. So we waited on the little patio for a few more minutes. Staff was friendly but could have handled the room not being ready a little better. Like giving me an estimate for how much longer so I know if I should go back in to town or wait on the property. Also the room actually being done when the guest gets to it. Y

Fun, family camp vibes. Our cabin was cute and cozy - our only complaint were the small (full size) beds and honestly I had a hard time getting comfortable but definitely not a deal breaker for us. All the amenities the property offers is just so much fun for the whole family (we have a 16, 14, 12 year olds). The onsite restaurant has good food. The staff was friendly. The community of Idyllwild is a very cute mountain community. Lots of trails and exploring to do. We really did enjoy our stay here and hope to be back soon.
