Upon arrival, check-in went OK the lady at the front desk was very short and didn’t give a lot of information when we arrive at the room. The code for the door didn’t work right away. We had to put it in 3 to 4 times for it to work entering the room, the room look clean, but the shower was smaller than any shower I’ve ever seen before. Wi-Fi did not work our entire stay and cell phone service is very poor so don’t expect to have any Internet. Also the water in the shower when turned all the way to cold still is scolding hot, which was a terrible experience. Also, the bed pillows were very uncomfortable for me. The fridge had stains inside as well didn’t look like it had been cleaned.

The property is absolutely beautiful, well kept grounds. The rooms were very clean as well BUT they were a bit on the smaller side and felt crammed. Tried calling the front desk but the phone was off both days we were there. However, they were super friendly when we stopped in the office. Instead of a large dresser that's not generally utilized, I'd suggest adding a desk or small dining table. Overall, beautiful friendly place.

The room was clean, the staff friendly, however the internet was spotty and weak. Also, the room we had was apparently shared with another via a locked door, and you could hear the neighbor’s TV all throughout the night. This is a problem with the other guest and not the property, but the walks are rather thin so you can hear anyone talking or watching tv.

I absolutely loved the grounds the cabins were sat amongst. The staff were so friendly. Unfortunately the cabin we stayed in was so old and dirty. The doors to the wardrobes were ready to fall off and so many trip hazards around like walking into the kitchen area & main bathroom. The deck, outdoor furniture was so dirty & full of cobwebs & we actually saw oven baking trays thrown outside under the tree amongst the overgrown weeds in the backyard ☹️ For the money we paid we expected it to be at least clean!

We really enjoyed our stay! The room and all of the facilities were very clean, and everything was well taken care of.

The room was a little on the small side, so next time we’d love to book a larger room.

We visited during the summer, and the only thing we missed was having a freezer in the room. We had to walk to the restaurant to get ice, which was a little inconvenient.

Everyone on the staff was so kind and welcoming, which made our stay even more enjoyable. We’d be happy to stay here again and would definitely recommend it to others!

The property is beautifully landscaped, well maintained, and set in a nice location. We stayed in a cabin with a lovely porch. We were looking forward to a relaxing visit.
Unfortunately, our stay was overshadowed by a serious noise issue. After returning to our cabin around 10:30 p.m., we could clearly hear a loud TV coming from the adjoining cabin. The noise continued all night, making it impossible to sleep. About 3:00 a.m., I tried to report the problem but discovered there was no after-hours phone number listed in the guest info book. I left messages on the main number, but the disturbance continued until 5:00 a.m., and the TV was still on when we woke at 7:00 a.m.
When we reported the issue the next morning, we were told the after-hours number was posted at the main office. Expecting guests to walk through a dark, wooded property in the middle of the night is unrealistic. The number should have been included in the guest information book, and it would have been appreciated if staff had acknowledged that oversight.
A few other details also detracted from our stay. We had reserved a queen bed (no king was available) but the bed appeared to be only a full size - uncomfortable for my 6'3\" partner. The bath towels were well past their useful life, and the shower's thin plastic curtain could also use an upgrade. The property has a lot of charm & potential, but better overnight guest support and a few improvements to the accommodations would make for a better experience.

Very beautiful place. The grounds are spectacular. Our \"room\" was actually a cabin so no wall connections with other guests. As such it was really spacious. The only issue I'd say is the bed was a bit soft. I have back issues and had some pain after a night on the bed. Would also be nice to have breakfast options. But I'd stay there again in a second. Nicest place I've found in Idylwild.

The staff were lovely.

The property/room itself was okay. We had a room in the last building in the back, on the second floor, middle, and though it felt cramped, we managed just fine with two dogs and two guests. It wasn't anything special. A bit noisy at night when we could hear the kids next door and even the next morning when they were right out our balcony. The other lodges seemed better with more privacy, space and quieter, so just keep that in mind when selecting rooms.

Also, lots of foxtails in the ground/grass in the back that could be cleaned up, given that they allow dogs. Overall, okay stay.

Bring your own pillow unless you like hard ones! We loved the outdoor areas, and especially the patio assigned to our room. It was nestled among the trees and we listened to the squirrels, blue jays, and woodpeckers while we had our evening wine and morning coffee. The room had nice decor but there was no comfortable place to sit, no luggage rack, and there was a very narrow walkway to the bathroom. We would come back but would be better prepared.

We had an amazing time there was a lot of things/activities to do, keep the kids busy and away from their phones. Very clean, friendy staff and I love that's it's pet friendly. It's really a nice place to relax if you want some quiet time away from the city. My only concerns were the bunk beds (top) does not have railings which is not safe for kids and I believe they're offering like a day pass or open for people whose not staying in the property to get access of all the amenities so it gets really crowded specially during weekends/holidays. Overall all we had fun definitely coming back.

The property is always very clean and updated with several unique amenities, like a basketball court, a playground, and an area you can kick a soccer ball around. Parking is never a problem. I can’t speak to the bar or restaurant, as they were too busy to help me. I tried to try them out on this visit, but it was Memorial Day weekend, and they didn’t seem to have enough staff. My only concern about my stay is that their bedding is becoming worn and uncomfortable. The beds are starting to sag, and the pillows that once used to be king pillows are now small lumps the size of a child’s pillow shoved in a king pillowcase. I remember when they were comfortable. They just need updating. They’re at the end of their life.

I spent a single night at this resort so that I could get an early start on a hike to Tahquitz Peak. I didn't have high expectations for accommodations in a small town like Idyllwild so I was pleasantly surprised by the Tahquitz Pines Retreat. The rooms were comfortable and the campus was well laid out. I especially enjoyed the restaurant and bar onsite which had really good food and a surprisingly large menu. Should I come back to the area, I would stay here again.
