Idyllwild Bunkhouse

This was my second time staying here and I definitely plan to come back again. It's very cute and quaint.

The curb appeal is pretty and stays with the rustic appeal of all of Idyllwild. A nice place to rest your head for a night.

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.

Loved every minute of our stay. Truly amazing to have spent my birthday weekend lodging in this beautiful cabin! Perfectly located in between the nature center and the village, with a gorgeous scenic view of the forest and mountains. It’s spacious, even for my 6’5 brother who slept upstairs. After hiking and enjoying the town, we slept incredibly well. This cabin provides all the amenities you’ll need, including utensils, microwave and refrigerator/freezer. Huge thank you to the outstanding staff for their flexibility, service, and assistance with our accommodation. I’m already planning for the next trip with friends and can’t wait for the morning weekend breakfast baskets!
