The Idyllwild Experience

Hiking & Biking
The San Jacinto mountains offer world-class rock climbing, mountain biking, and hiking. Countless trailheads are located just minutes away, providing immediate access to the fresh mountain air and scenic vistas that make "The Hill" so special.

Spent 4 days in the beautiful Idylllodge. Our stay included my wife, daughter , husband and 2 granddaughters. The Lodge was immaculate and spotless. Had a thunderstorm roll through and made the stay complete. Our hosts were very accomodating and the Idyllwild residents very friendly. All appliances are in working order and the top of the line brands. The hosts thought of everything. Can't say enough good things about this lodge. Plenty of space for 8 people. We highly recommend this retreat. Trail runs past the lodge by the stream and goes all the way to town. Took about 20 mins to walk it. We loved our stay and will be back.

Awesome place to stay up in Idyllwild. The cabin has every amenity you would need/want for a relaxing stay, secluded location with a very easy and pretty creek hike, and close to the center of town so everything is within walking distance. I would stay here everytime I come up to Idyllwild.
5.0 / 10.0·Aug 2022
We have stayed at many properties over the years and IdyllLodge, by far, was the best! The home has everything you could possibly think of and more and is exactly as described.
We wanted to avoid airports and escape the heat, so we decided on a local trip to the mountains. Driving up to the home, the pictures did not do justice, it is gorgeous. As we unpacked, we suddenly heard the rush of Strawberry Creek right out the back door of the property—what a treat. We had coffee here daily and a creekside picnic.
Getting used to the altitude took a day, so we took a light hike into town along the creek for residents. After a rest day, we ventured out to Devils Slide Trail. This is moderately strenuous, so make sure to bring plenty of water. We gratefully used the Forest Adventure pass provided.
After an afternoon of hiking, we relaxed in the crystal clear hot tub that was so easy to use—a perfect 101 degrees. As we wound down in the tub, a cool afternoon shower rained down on us.
There is plenty of space all over the house to spread out. The kitchen is spacious and is great for entertaining. There are 3 sliding doors to the balcony and grill area. The view off the balcony is so peaceful; we read, grilled and did yoga on this beautiful balcony with a view.
Thank you Erin and Kelly for responding so quickly not our questions and inquiries and making check-in a breeze. The instructions were easy and covered all that we needed for our stay.
IdyllLodge is our new favorite local vacation!
