The town of Idyllwild is really a must-see. There are no brand shops and no franchise brands in the town. The support of local brands and employers is great. Safe, quiet and also very green.

Staff very service oriented but we had issues daily with shower water pressure, and could not be fixed, which was a real hassle and below expectations (we even changed rooms but no better - pressure from taps and bath good but shower horrible). They could also use another restaurant on property.

We went when there was a heatwave. It should have been in the 30's and 40's, but it got as warm as 60's. There was hardly any snow (kind of the whole point of the trip). Idyllwild is as nice as always.

I love this town so much. It was my first time here and I really enjoyed the atmosphere and how nice everyone was. Really really kind and great people. I loved the stars at night and how quiet it got at night

Love going to Idyllwild for the hiking opportunities, nature, the small town feel with lots of options for shopping and eating and just relaxing. Plus it's an easy 2 hour scenic drive from San Diego.
5/5 - Excellent
Verified traveler
Cute and quaint little town. Not too far from everything, yet just far enough. Cute shops. Lots of pet friendly options. And the locals are super sweet.

Verified traveler
Our family has stayed in Idyllwild many times over the past few decades and we have thoroughly enjoyed ourselves each time. All there are super friendly and it is the perfect epitome of that much needed breath of fresh air away from the big city.
