This is a budget stay - and for what we paid - this was great value for money. The place could do with a lick of paint, but it was clean and cozy. It was great to have a fridge, microwave, coffee machine etc. The shower was hot. And the bed clean and fairly comfortable. The staff were very helpful and friendly.

First, let me say that I am a Hiker and the purpose in this little cabin was to have a place to come up and rest before starting a hike first thing in the morning. As I was coming up on Friday, there was no breakfast, which is fine it wasn’t expected nor did I want it. They even called me ahead of time to let me know that even though it is on the Expedia advertisement that is not the case on a Friday morning. Secondly, as a Hiker l, literally staying in a place called the bunkhouse, I did not expect five star accommodations. My son and I were coming up so I wanted two Beds and a restful night sleep. We got that and a little bit more, including a cold refrigerator and microwave, which was nice as the town was all but closed with one grocery store to get some provisions and have a light meal before going to bed for the morning. The shower was small, but it’s literally a bunkhouse and we were hiking the next day. I know there were a lot of reviews about how thin the walls are, but we slept just fine and didn’t have to use the earplugs provided, and I have to tell you that I usually wake up pretty easily. There was an air-conditioning unit for us to turn on when we got there (thank God because my son likes to sleep in Antarctica). Overall, it was worth the money that we paid and I would definitely come again before taking on my next hike, hopefully to San Jacinto. For those wanting a no frills stop from the PCT this is an ideal little place for you as well.

When we arrived and with the email with my reservation and confirmation in hand for a room with two queen beds. I was informed that they only had one room to meet that criteria and it was already rented. I showed the owner my reservation with 2 queen beds requested. He informed me, that the reservation he had did not show what I requested and the requested room was not available. He tried to convince me to stay in a room with 1 queen bed and 2 twin beds. This was not acceptable, so I declined. We ended up getting accommodations at Tahquitz Pines Retreat. There was no offer of a refund of any kind from The Bunkhouse. I'm disappointed and disgusted. Our small vacation was almost ruined. Bottom line is that The Idyllwild Bunkhouse refused to honor our reservation.

My advice to other travelers, is to find a different place to stay.

I was informed that they only had one room to meet that criteria and it was already rented. I showed him my reservation with 2 queen beds requested. He said that it doesn't matter, that the reservation he had did not show what I requested and of course could do nothing to fix it. He tried to convince me to stay in a room with 1 queen bed and 2 twin beds. This was not acceptable, so I declined. He sent me to another property he owned, Silver Pines Lodge to see a room with what he said was a queen bed and a full size bed. The room had a twin bed and at best a full size. It was as unpleasant a room as it could be. I told this motel no. I spoke with the Bunkhouse manager and he offered me 2 separate rooms with a queen bed in each, but would charge an extra $55+ for it. I declined this. We ended up getting accommodations at Tahquitz Pines Retreat. There was no offer of a refund of any kind from The Bunkhouse. I'm disappointed and disgusted. Our small vacation was almost ruined because of him. He kept saying to blame Expedia, as they are the ones who made the mistake.

My advice to other travelers, is to find a different place to stay.

Honestly i was pretty bummed. I knew it wasn’t going to be fancy and just wanted a break to get away. When we arrived there was someone already there complaining about a room issue. I worked in resorts so i know it just happens all the time. No big. we went down to our cabin and the steep stairs were not all secure. The walkway had many loose and broken boards and the whole thing tilted. We just tried to be extra careful. The patio was so great but the railing was so loose we couldn’t touch it as it did hang over the mountain. We didn’t complain, its rustic. But then there was a good amount of hair in the toilet, what im hoping was toothpaste on a blanket we didn’t use, on no electricity in the room which had caused the fridge to defrost all over the floor. we went back up to talk to him and he was in a full blown argument with another guest outside. I felt bad the guy was actually yelling at him but could understand the frustration if he had similar issues and had been driving for hours also That guest did not stay and we let him know about the power. He did come down to reset breaker but seemed annoyed and was on the phone the whole time and never even apologized, just in and out. No time to address the hair, the blanket or the flooding and just got extra towels to mop it up. Then we had to climb on the bed to plug in the ac unit that was unplugged. Even just an acknowledgement or apology or follow up would have gone a long way. Cute room. Needs maint and customer service.

Owners were kind when spoken to prior to my visit, as I had questions regarding my checkin. Front desk employee was extremely nice and very helpful. The room was not as expected. The bathroom was very small. The mattress cover underneath the sheet had stains on it. I sent two messages to the hotel prior to my stay and to this day I have not received a reply. They need to update their information because breakfast is not delivered everyday as described. It’s such a cute breakfast idea delivered to your door in a basket but those scones are very dry. But still tast and an amazing touch.

We really liked this motel, right outside of town. We stayed in the little Hideaway cabin just off the main property and it didn't disappoint. Really small but very cute. The back patio is the best part, we really loved having coffee out on there in the morning. Walkable to town and very clean and quiet. Could use some maintenance and slight upkeep, the stairs are a tad old. Overall, really liked this place and recommend.

It's a cute place. Rooms are very dark and hard to see and find things. After 10-hour hike I just wanted a shower and rest, but shower soap dispenser was completely empty. The breakfast is definitely not desireable: I took only one bite of the hard and metalic scone and same with the mealy apple. The location is definitely a drive from the cute town because walking would be dangerous.

Located close to town with a vintage retro wood lodge vibe. A lot of things were broken. E.g. lamp shade with large tear, the lock was hanging off the sliding door, lumpy mattress, window screen in the bathroom was bent not flush with the window letting in bugs, toilet tank lid broken into several pieces and glued back together, the bathroom sink and shower did not drain properly at all.

We loved the weekend stay we had. It was a great location. Quiet, and far enough from the town to still have a calm feel and out in the woods stay experience we were looking for. It was a clean stay, comfortable and even when we got locked out (oops) the staff responded very quickly to help address our mistake in under 5 mins. Will definitely be returning

Property is old and run down. Towel racks and shelves have been moved, but the old holes have not been spackled and painted. Floor and counter tiles are cracked or broken.

The only seating in the unit was a giant two seat power recliner, which was too deep and in a semi reclined position. The power feature did not work. Even if it had the TV was hung to one side, and viewing would have been uncomfortable.

Pots and pans were adequate, but the only glass ware was small wineglasses. Dishwasher did not work, and, from the looks of the sign on it, has not worked in a long while. Bring your own kitchen paper products, none are supplied.

The courtesy coffee pack was unsealed, coffee went everywhere when I opened it. There was no staff on site at 8:45 am, when I called to ask for a replacement.

The facecloths may have been clean but they looked filthy,

There are no USB Outlets, so bring your own charger,

The double bed was comfortable, but had only two pillows. If you like to read in bed, you will have to make do with a folded blanket for va back rest. If both of you like to read in bed, fuhgeddaboutit.

How can I start. This was a terrible mountain motel. The room was paid for in advance. When we arrived the property looked nothing like the picture at all. There was no staff to help with anything. When we got back to the motel after our event and tried to turn on the tv it would not come on. There is no five number to call but the reservation number gave me a number so I called it and they said there was no one there to help us and nothing he could do. They had a unit in the room for air and he said touch that because it wasn’t safe. Everything in the room was super old and not like the pictures. My husband and I didn’t sleep at all because the bed was so uncomfortable. The next morning there ad said we would receive a complimentary breakfast basket so when we went to the office again no one was there. The room was so old there was damage from termites.
The bushes in front of the rooms is so over ground it is dangerous to get to your room. The photo showed very friendly for a disabled person and that was another lie.
They should refund peoples money for all the false information on the website.
Terrible terrible it should be report to the County health inspector.
Go by and check out what you are falsely representing as a comfortable motel. I have the photo on my phone but I can send it if you tell me how.

This is such a cute, quirky, and quaint hotel. I love that there's a small number of rooms available, it's pet friendly, and they deliver continental breakfast in the morning in a cute basket.

Definitely bring a broom and bug spray to get rid of all the high to reach spider webs on the balcony and ant control in the room.

The hotel is close to everything! Very convenient. My family loved it and we will be staying again!

Place on a good location, close to the downtown, fair for the price.I find, the town stores and most of the places are closed between Monday to Wednesday, so it’s quiet and not much to do.

Sofa bed mattress had huge yellow marks all over, spots of blood, main bedroom sheets had hair all over, Black mold in the bathroom next to the bathtub, spider webs all over the place, kitchen, only two coffee cups, four plates all mix matched, toilet seat cover was missing, broken blinds by kitchen sink, no paper towel, Location is beautiful, cabin's layout is really cute but when it gets to cleaning standard even one star is too much.

Amazing spot! The view from the balcony can be a bit limited because of the beautiful trees. The locations is amazing, though. It is only two minutes drive to the area with the restaurants. The delivered breakfast in cute baskets (8.30-9.00 am). The Sunday one was late for about 35 minutes. Other than that, it was worth the experience.

The 34 mile trek up to 6000 feet elevation was scary. Do NOT drive up there via Hwy 243. It was both scary and made me sick. You can drive there via Hemet. Still a tad stressful but much better. My room smelled of gas as soon as I walked in. It was attended to but after the scariest rollercoaster ride getting there, I was like what is going on?
Idyllic Idyllwild is so beautiful though. I was grateful for the experience.

The place was very cute and cozy. Had all the basic amenities and provided breakfast (oatmeal, fruit, & muffin) in the morning. However, the toilet was extremely low and small, but other than that everything was perfect!

The views and location were nice, but the room was dusty and poorly maintained (mini fridge sounded like it was dying, had to run the water for 10 minutes in the morning to get hot water, etc). The noise was worst part. The road noise was constant and loud (the Bunkhouse is on the main road though town) and we could hear every moan from the couple next to us through the wall.

Didn’t have a Mountain View but it was quiet. Room was clean but very dated. There were some things that could have been fixed, i.e, broken toilet handle, counter by sink was missing a piece in front, previous occupant had disconnected tv cable, smoke detector was on bathroom window sill, and there was NO hot water.

Staff is nice, place is super easy to find. Right up the street from the main part of town. Nice view. It’s got everything you need, pretty bare bone but like I said, everything you’ll need. Bed’s old and not very comfy but you’re not living there for the rest of your life so it’s good enough. Overall, great place for the location. You’re close to everything.

This was a fun if somewhat primitive facility. The room and everything in it is quite miniature: tiny fridge, microwave, one cup coffee maker, etc. lighting was quite dim- bring your book light! Balcony needs to be sanded and painted. But the bed and pillows were very comfy. And the price was right. Breakfast is included only on weekends.

Great location to downtown and the deer Springs trailhead, and was quite comfortable with the smaller size room. The staff were kind and the breakfast basket was a nice surprise. We found the bed very uncomfortable, the wall is very thin, and the yellow, crunchy towels, way past their life. One of the towels had a lot of hair from the previous wash…

I could only recommend this hotel if someone was really limited from a budget perspective. we will not be staying again.

Location, (right outside Idyllwild) is great. Everything else, not so much. Room was not clean. Dust everywhere. Sliding door to small balcony had no lock, (not even a clasp to secure it since the entire handle was barely attached). Bathroom was so small and poorly laid out it was virtually impossible to use if needing to sit, (hopefully not TMI). Towels/washcloths very poor quality. The walls were so poorly insulated that you could hear anything/everything coming from adjacent rooms. As paid for was supposed to provide breakfast but no breakfast anywhere. When we went to check out on a Sunday morning the front office was locked even though the neon sign said the hotel was open. I was not expecting anything fancy but by any measurements this place is below minimal acceptable standards.

We drove up to idyllwild during the sunset. The views all the way up were breathtaking. When we arrived to the bunkhouse it had lights all along the front. A perfect little getaway. It’s a small location making it feel so intimate.

We stayed in room 14, and it was so cute and cozy! The back balcony view was amazing. The heaters provided kept us warm all night. The kitchen set up was perfect enough and gave us different options.

The bunkhouse dropped off scones and other snacks for us every morning. We had our scones and coffee in the balcony. Overall it was the perfect location, near trails and the town — and far enough to feel lost in the forest.

First the property itself is rustic, quiet, and convenient for us and what our goals of this trip was. Our goal was to stay somewhere affordable and nice to enjoy the town more. Which this is a perfect option for that.
The rooms are definitely on the rustic, cabin vibes and the staff are very sweet and kind.
I would say the only major downside was the interior heaters were non operational and they had these mini transportable heaters that just didn’t heat up the space enough. So it was VERY cold.
And this is just personal for my preference but two pillows were not enough, would’ve at least liked four pillows. I know if I called, the staff would have provided it, again they were sweet but it was late and I didn’t want to wake them over some pillows.
But! It would’ve been nice to have those extra pillows for sleep comfort.
Overall, for a quick one night stay and getaway, with what our goals were in mind. I recommend it here and give it 4 or 4.5 stars.

Overall our stay was okay. Our first night was rough as we heard rats crawling around in the walls which kept us up all night. The room was not as clean as we’d hoped and the kitchen area had a strange smell. I really did love the concept of the bunkhouse cabin but it didn’t meet my expectations unfortunately.
