The Creekstone

The Creekstone is the nicest hotel in Idyllwild, bar none. If you're looking for an upscale experience for a reasonable price, this is it. Fully renovated property just a short time ago, this place is really nice! The front deck/patio area is awesome for chilling out in the evening and cranking the automatic firepits. Rooms are modern and well appointed. What's unique about this place is there are no keys, no on site staff most of the day, and everything is done via Smart Locks, including the front door to the property. Once your reservation is confirmed, you receive a code before you check in, and that controls access to the property as well as your room. If you need anything, you can text the property manager, and they take care of it. The downtown area (shopping and dining) is only about a mile away, so you can walk if the weather is cooperating, otherwise it's a quick drive down the hill. Overall just an outstanding experience!!! Oh and bonus, they have a commercial Ice Maker downstairs in the back lobby! Gratis and awesome, summer or winter. Casper mattresses, nice fridge's, and K-Cup coffee makers too :) Large screen TV, views out every window, and a running creek across the street. If you don't like staying in an old cabin, or really old Motels, this is the spot for you :)) Highly recommend it, great experience.

Has such a relaxing mountain feel and lots of board games available!

This property is associated with the Grand Idyllwild Lodge around the corner, a fantastic place. The rooms here were wonderful, nice communal space inside, and a nice out front common patio. While the intersection location is a little odd, the place is a great central walking location to all the good stuff near by! Highly recommend dinner at Cafe Aroma a block away.

Had a great stay here. Looks newly remodeled. Cozy and festive during the Christmas season. Main lobby has gas fireplace, shuffle board, board games, plenty of seats and tables for hanging out, music, microwave, plastic utensils and paper towels and plates. Unfortunately the free kombucha was out during the entire stay. I was in room 202. It was large and well decorated. It has a TV, electric fireplace, and a Keurig machine. Bathroom was spacious but the fan vent was super loud, sounded like it was breaking down. One bulb was out in the bathroom. Some of the room amenities seem missing or just lacking. No hand soap in the bathroom, 2 plastic cups, but only 1 paper cup, 4 K-cups, 2 of those napkin/coffee creamer/sugar combo takeout packets seemed cheesy, and no tea bags. However, the mini fridge in the room works amazingly well. Most mini fridges suck, but this one kept food and drinks extremely cold. This place has no onsite staff which I'm okay with. They operate like an Airbnb. Keyless entry, and everything is communicated via phone. Overall I enjoyed this place and my stay and wouldn't mind staying again.

Wonderfully decorated and clean room and lobby with an excellent bed. There was a "Fun" sign above the bed with lights--but several of the lights were out. Also, there was a cold brew machine in the lobby listed to be in operation between 9:00 AM--5:00 PM but all you got out of it was air. If it's not going to be in operation they should remove it.

Great property. It is nicely located and newly renovated. It has a great living room with a fireplace and games. Cute place

We wanted a quick, comfortable, relaxing getaway for a couple of days, and that's exactly what we found at the Creekstone Inn. The newly renovated property is tastefully decorated with quality finishes, from the beautifully tiled bathrooms to the comfortable mattress and bed linens. The cozy lobby area has a fireplace, sofas, and games. The hotel is not staffed 24-7, but the key code system to get access to the building and our room worked seamlessly, and in the afternoon friendly staff poured happy hour wine for us and other guests. We highly recommend Creekstone Inn and will definitely return.

Perfect little getaway close to town but not too close! Couple great restaurants within walking distance. No ammentities at all on site is the only downside. Adorably decorated and quiet. We stayed a couple times already and will be back

Stay was nice. Atmosphere was a bit cold. Lobby needed something else to make it seem a bit more homey. Lights in lobby by fireplace need to be dimmed a bit, too bright. Could use more couches and overstuffed chairs and less cocktail tables.

Except for the hiccup at the beginning, everything went very well. They email you your code to get in the main door and the door to your hotel room. There is no or very poor cell reception on must of the drive up there, so we didn’t get the message about the code. After that was cleared up, then our code to the main door didn’t work. They luckily have a phone # to call and a gentleman came right over to help fix the problem. The rest of the stay was exceptionally nice and we enjoyed the indoor shuffle board in the recreation area. Rooms felt like they were brand new and the decor was very fun! Loved it!

The cabin is as pictured. Very clean and comfortable.

The place was completely self-service. There was no one to greet us when we arrived so that we could visit with them about the area. We never saw anyone there dureing our stay. Additionally, the lighting in the bathroom was very poor with one light completely burnt out in the light above the sink and another of the 3 light fixture flickering of and on. Additionally, it took a long time to get hot water. There was no desk or desk chair. Only one small chair in the entire room. So it was very uncomfortable. There was no one to ask for another chair either, though we tried texting the phone number given to us. Overall, dissappointing..

Very pleased with our stay here. Automated check in and out was super easy, the rooms were so new and clean we felt like the first people to stay there.

Very nicely updated

Very clean and comfortable. The property looks new or recently remodel. Great lobby area. I would stay there again.

Clean and well appointed room. Quiet area. Plenty of in room entertainment options available. Numerous dining options nearby (within a half mile). The bed was very comfy. Spacious bathroom with a walk in shower.

Fresh, clean, very pleasant.

The property was clean and well decorated and a nice area. The check-in process was seamless as well as the checkout process.. unfortunately the amenities that we paid for didn’t work the bathtub would not fill with hot water as the hot water would run ice cold after 2 to 3 minutes I contacted the property manager and the property itself and no one ever got back to me. I was extremely disappointed in the lack of response to this issue as it was the only reason that my fiancé and I chose to celebrate our engagement and was looking forward to being able to relax and enjoy all of the amenities offered in the listing..

The Creekstone was super nice. Excellent location. The room was nicely decorated and clean. I really enjoyed my stay and will definitely stay again.

It’s was such a beautiful room! Very comfy bed! Would stay here again

It’s a nice place, clean, comfortable and modern. We’d stay there again.

Amazing facility with great charm, the mattress was so comfortable!!!

Interesting decor and comfortable room.

Beautiful property, just outside of Idyllwild’s town square. The rooms are exceptional!

Clean and well appointed room. Quiet area. Plenty of in room entertainment options available. Numerous dining options nearby (within a half mile). The bed was very comfy. Spacious bathroom with a walk in shower.

It’s great location, beautifully modeled room, echo friendly.

The place is very cute and the concept of no staff onsite works as long as you don’t have any issues. The book in your room will explain that if you have any questions or problems you can text the manager! Unfortunately the exhaust fan in the bathroom was keeping getting on all night long even after turning it off many many many times. I textes the number several time . My messages were delivered but no one answered. I emailed the “hotel” but no answer …. I couldn’t call since I had no network in the mountains and they don’t have a WhatsApp number. I haven’t slept at all the second night!!!! As I am writing this review, no one got back to me. Be aware that there is absolutely no help or service of any kind and you are on your own if anything goes wrong. The other throng is the hotel is hyper connected and you are not allowed to unplug any device like the white noise or else. Overall disappointing even though the place is clean, neat and very cute. 😢

The place was completely self-service. There was no one to greet us when we arrived so that we could visit with them about the area. We never saw anyone there dureing our stay.

There was no one to ask for another chair either, though we tried texting the phone number given to us. Overall, dissappointing..

Room and service, and the ease of getting in and out at check-in was incredible. Bed was super comfortable and I ended up buying the same mattress after I left there. Would stay here again in a heartbeat, loved it. loved it loved it!

The manager asked me 4 times, in separate conversations, what work my service dog performed and if I had a disability. One time should have sufficed but he said he’d worked as a TSA agent and did not believe my responses. He also said I wasn’t truthful when I told him I stayed there last year, which I did exactly a year ago. He then read me a long dissertation on ADA rules and told me the property had cameras in my room and in the hotel that they would be watching to make sure I, as a service dog handler and my dog were “at all times in complete compliance.” The rules are undestandable and there same in many properties but I’ve NEVER been grilled in this way before. He and another staff member told me on the phone, before my arrival, that if either I or my dog were in any way out of compliance they would remove us without refund. This badgering made me feel so singled out for my disability, and ultimately harassed, that I forfeited my payment for the first of two nights, delayed arrival until midnight the second night and left before 8 am. There is no one working onsite. My experience was that the place feels like a soulless motel. Will not return.

Very pleased with our stay here. Automated check in and out was super easy, the rooms were so new and clean we felt like the first people to stay there.

The room was so wonderful. Nicely decorated, modern and cozy. Loved the keyless entry, so simple to check in and our without ever needing to speak to staff. This will be my new regular stay anytime I’m in the area. 5 stars hands down!!

Enjoy the scenery. The snow was breath taken. Michelle the hostess was always available. Well definitely be back again and inviting others.

Clean and well appointed room. Quiet area. Plenty of in room entertainment options available. Numerous dining options nearby (within a half mile). The bed was very comfy. Spacious bathroom with a walk in shower.

Beautifully appointed and decorated 2 bedroom / 2 bath cottage with full kitchen and laundry. Very close to downtown area and easy to find.

Creekside is a really cute hotel. There is not a front desk. Your codes etc are sent to you via text. You can always contact them if you need something. They have a no children or pet policy yet I saw a baby and a medium size dog staying at the hotel. The location is great as well.

We loved The Creekstone! Very clean and moody with surrounding and so easy check in system, trails are all so close by and it feels like cabin in the mountain! Great stay!

The Creekstone was super nice. Excellent location. The room was nicely decorated and clean. I really enjoyed my stay and will definitely stay again.
