about us

  Our favorite place to stay during our trips to Idyllwild! Josh and Emily do such a grand job and keeping this wonderful Inn up-to-date and fashionable!! We always... read more look forward to their annual Thanksgiving letter as well as the wonderful treats that they give the guests to celebrate during their stay. We have been staying in the Fall room for 13 years now to celebrate Thanksgiving. We also stay at other times during the year for much needed stress relief. Slight changes are always noticeable as soon as we walk in. We truly cherish our time in this wonderful location. Very happy to say that all COVID-19 protocols are being followed! Look forward to our next visit in February!

  I called early on the day that I wanted to stay and they had a room open for the night. I stayed in the “Summer” room. The room was nice... read more and had a fireplace. The smell in the room is a pleasant fireplace scent. They put a bundle of wood in the room with matches and a firestarter packet. Everything seemed to be clean and it’s an easy walk to several restaurants. I look forward to visiting again.

  The cabins are great. They have everything you would need. Very calm & serene atmosphere. Plenty of outdoor activities, or just relaxing. Staff very friendly &... read more helpful. Walking distance to shops & restaurants. No franchise establishments in Idyllwild. We've been here, many times, and many more to come.

  This was our second trip to the Idyllwild Inn. We like the location as it is walking distance to the restaurants and shops. We had cabin 4 which is... read more a two bedroom cabin that will sleep 6 people. There was a kitchen that had a stove, refrigerator, microwave oven and coffee pot. The cabin was clean and large and there was a large deck on the back side. There was a fireplace, which we did not use, as it was hot the weekend we were there. There is a forced heating unit for the winter time. The only negative about the cabin was that there was no air conditioner. There were three fans in a closet that we put into the windows to circulate the air, but it was not enough. When we would come back to the room in the late afternoon, after a hike or walk, it was hot. We will not stay at the hotel during the heat of the summer again. We will go back at another time of the year, when it is cooler.

  My family has been visiting Idyllwild for many years and the Idyllwild Inn is always our preferred place to stay. When my children were young, we preferred the rustic atmosphere... read more in the cabins. We made fires every night in the fireplace and would leave peanuts outside the cabin so we could watch the squirrels. There is no better location in Idyllwild and this is as central as you can get. Once you arrive, you park your car and can walk everywhere from your cabin. There are restaurants, shopping, and even a market within walking distance. Now that my children have grown up, my husband and I enjoy staying in the "new rustic cabins." These are duplex units, but still retain the rustic cabin interiors and exteriors. They provide ample room for 2-4 people. There is a small kitchen with table and chairs, living room with fireplace, sofa & chair and a large bedroom and bath area. If you have a larger group you can book adjoining duplex units. I've been visiting Idyllwild for over 30 years and still love visiting the Idyllwild Inn.

  We stayed in the “Indian” theme room. It was a beautiful room, everything in great working order and quiet.
The Inn is ideal to walk the town. Right next door... read more to Higher Grounds, a terrific coffee house, and close to lots of dining and shopping.
The people at the front desk were helpful and friendly.
In short, our stay exceeded our expectations and we will be back!

  We have enjoyed our stay here many times. Our last trip was just a nice as all the others. It's a very convenient place to stay. Shopping... read more and restaurants are all in walking distance. It was very clean and the staff was great.

  We stayed in cabin 20 - described as a new rustic suite. It was great. We had a living room with fireplace, small kitchen with stove, refrigerator, table, etc. a... read more bedroom and a bathroom. They supply you with your first night's firewood (along with a fire-starter). If you want more wood, it's $8 for a load, good for at least one night, and they deliver it to your door.

Some of the units are duplex (as was ours), so you have a neighbor - other units are simplex, with no direct neighbors.

We had a great deck. The local grocery store sells "critter food" - peanuts and sunflower seeds. These aren't for human consumption, but the stellar jays LOVE them, as do the squirrels.

You put the food on the deck railing, and just watch the fun!

The cabins are easy walking distance from the center of town, where we walked each day for coffee & breakfast.

It's a great place to say!

  Everything was great once we made the long trip up the mountain! We came right after the highway was washed away and came up the back way through 371,... read more but it was worth it. The whole family made it up!
We had so much snow we even decided to stay another day. We always come up for Presidents weekend and continually to Idyllwild Inn. Josh was out plowing the snow and it kept coming down!

The cabins are warn and cozy, just what you need in the kitchen to make meals. TV, big fireplace . Great place for some R&R. We’ve stayed in other cabins up here but this is the nicest place, I highly recommend the Idyllwild Inn. Just don’t take my cabin # 5 on Presidents weekend!

  Terrific place in the town center! The owners, Josh & Emily, take great pride in their Inn continually making improvements! We truly look forward to each and visit!... read more This visit we noted the improvements in the room decorations as well as the bathroom! Well done! Keep it up!
