This letter is in reference to our stay at the Idyllwild Bunkhouse in the Woodland Vista cabin on May 21st-23rd 2025. We booked this cabin on Expedia after reading tons of reviews, watching videos and reviewing all online outlets for the property. From the pictures that were presented, we were excited to enjoy our 15th Wedding Anniversary away in Idyllwild. We were greeted by Deb who was super friendly and welcoming. She checked us in and gave us our key. Looking from the outside, everything looked great. We enjoyed spending time on the private deck and enjoying nature. As time went on, we began to notice and document: -The first night, we didn’t know about the heat and froze to death. The next day we asked Deb and she told us how to turn it on in the bathroom. Once we did, the unit was extremely loud and the tops and inside were very dirty. -Towel hook in bathroom fell down when a towel was placed on it. -Unable to sit on couch as it had stains, was dirty and not being comfortable and being very loud. We had to sit at the dining table the entire stay which was very uncomfortable and not relaxing at all. -Bed was extremely uncomfortable and may possibly be broken on half the bed. -Tons of cobwebs everywhere and extremely dusty -Big black heater in main room doesn’t work and it completely full of dust -Kitchen had oil stains running down the wall -Duvet cover, sheets, chair in bedroom all had white stains

Cute but has Musty smell and small.

The bed had 2 strands of hair under the pillow also had some tiny black ‘crumbs’ or crusty scabs on the bed when we arrived. We arrived late and no one was in the office. No room service, no phones in the room. The carpet was dirty and the room smelled musty. It had a portable AC in the room. Very small room and super tiny bathroom and shower. Breakfast comes in a cute basket every morning but only has an apple, one baked good, a pkg of instant oatmeal and 1 juice box. Not enough for my husband and I. I like the balcony, the view from the balcony, the rustic look of the room. Has a cabin look. Close to the village. Parking is super convenient. I just wish it was cleaner and fresher feeling inside.

Small, quaint, cottage-cabin like motel, with a loft accessed by ladder. The restroom and shower were small in size. All rooms have portable air conditioning, as window units do not function. The loft has a big box fan. And there is a table fan as well. Ceiling fan also was not working. All in all it was a great stay. Will do again. Breakfast is brought to you in baskets, hanging outside the door. It was a neat experience.

The cabin was very nice. My room had 2 beds as well as dishes, a mini refrigerator and microwave. The lighting was a little on the dim side, but not a huge issue at all. The outside with the plants and seating was very nice! They had lights around the plants that reminded me of a fairy tale world. I loved this place and will definitely stay again.

The Bunkhouse is a rustic motel that looks like an old motor lodge from the 50's. It is very quaint in appearance, although the rooms are on the small size. This place would be a true gem if it were properly maintained. Cobwebs are in abundance, hanging vines and broken asphalt hinder passage from parking to unit. There are freestanding air conditioners that vent the hot compressor air through an open window, sort of. The owner/management does not appear to love this cozy motel. The appearance and upkeep is evidence of this. The office closes at 6:00 PM with no staff on the grounds. On the day of my arrival, I received a call from the Bunkhouse letting me know the office was closing at 1:30 PM and my key would be in the mailbox. This was an experience we won't soon forget. Did I mention we had a power outage that started at dusk and lasted for over 2 hours. It was a wide spread outage so not the fault of ownership. I would habe appreciated it if ownership had call me to let me know wh!t was happening. Owner did arrive about a hour and a half into the outage and gave me a couple of candles. Would we go back... yes and look forward to our next stay.

We brought our dog to escape fourth of July fireworks in the neighborhood and had a great stay. Very cozy, friendly, place. Staff is incredibly welcoming and easy going. Room was clean and peaceful. The small personal deck outside had a beautiful view of the forest and was perfect for relaxing and reading a book. The hotel was close to the town's center, which was just a walk away.
