A really great place to stay in Idyllwild

Honestly this place is pretty amazing. As a fully sufficient property, there is so much to do: on site delicious dining, sports, a gym, walking trails, fire pits, etc. It is only a 5 minute drive into the heart of Idyllwild. The cabin seems to be recently renovated, very clean and comfortable. Modern heating/cooling system as well as a gas powered fireplace, and the king bed was very comfortable. The room was spacious and well put together. My only downside was that our cabin shared one wall with our neighbors, and the walls are pretty thin. I think some insulation or sound proofing would really help. I also was surprised that, while there was a beautiful pool, there was no hot tub. I actually thought I read there was one but I guess not. On a day after hiking, soaking in a hot tub was something I would have really enjoyed. I will definitely be back and I'll just make sure to book one of the stand alone cabins next time.

We have stayed several times and always find the property improving. We don’t even look for an alternate anymore. Familiarity allows us to settle and enjoy the facilities and area.
