The Grand Idyllwild Lodge

It is a beautiful old property. Unfortunately the elevater is broken and there is no sign of them working to fix it. It takes all of my wife's strength to do steps. The room called Tranquility was beautiful except for a leaky shower that you cold hear draining all the time.

What an amazing stay! We will be back. We stayed in the romance suite for our 35th wedding anniversary. It was well appointed. The bed felt like a cloud. Spacious. All the amenities we needed. It was cold outside but we were toasty. Outside the room they had meeting areas, a loft/library. There was a piano in the downstairs living room. Upgraded bathroom with two types of showerheads. Outstanding place to stay in Idlewild. If you needed anything, all you needed to do is text the proprietors.

A group of girlfriends got together to celebrate 2 birthdays! We were so impressed with how beautiful the Villa we stayed in was!! Plenty of space and room for the 4 of us. The master was huge!! The bedroom, bathroom, walk in closet. We cozied up in the living room with the fireplace every night. Had coffee on our own private patio w a Firepit and table to eat at or play games. The Mountain View was spectacular! Loved having the small kitchen area which was fully furnished. Judy, the manager or owner as I never asked went above and beyond even prior to our arrival. She sent pictures of where to park and exactly what the kitchen was stocked with. Toaster, coffee machine, glasses etc. She gave us a first hand guided tour of the Lodge and our 3 bedroom Villa. Staff was amazingly friendly. Highly recommended this great getaway!

Absolutely magical stay! This Lodge was so beautiful. We loved the Memory Suite— the cozy fireplace and incredibly comfortable bed made it feel like a home away from home. The staff were exceptionally friendly and attentive to all our needs. One of the highlights was relaxing in the jacuzzi under the night sky—pure bliss. Highly recommend for a peaceful escape!

I book a stay here as part of a mini-honeymoon. One of the reasons I booked it there is because their website says they have a spa. They don't. At least, not anymore. There are new owners, and instead of shutting the hotel down and fixing all the many, many things that are broken, they are still collecting over $300 a night. The lobby heating system was broken. They were pounding on the outside wall so loudly we couldn't hear each other speak. There was no wood for burning in the fireplace. The elevator was broken, and we were on the third floor. We upgraded so that we could stream tv and have our own jacuzzi, but there was no internet. The water heater was a temporary because the old one broke and you couldn't take a shower longer than 5 minutes before it got cold. I am not making this up! They didn't ice the driveway, and it was a complete hazard (though it said they would). To top it all off, I fell off a step down from the bedroom into the living room and sprained my ankle, the same ankle I had to walk on down the icy slope. This lodge should not be open until the fix things. Don't go there!

The facility is grand...building, room, grounds...set in the trees and scenic landscape of Idyllwild The staff is phenomenal,,,friendly, welcoming, knowledgeable!

The room was super cozy and the bed actually was super comfortable! Really enjoyed the private deck, the little golf putting course. Their simple continental breakfast is actually super amazing and their dining nook is adorable with a great view of the trees snd rock face. Definitely would stay here again and enjoy their library. Only complaint is the room could of been cleaner down around the tables, there was still some dust and hair. Otherwise room was nice and clean with fresh towels, plus robes!!

Service was excellent; weekend breakfast french toast was frozen; WIFI in "The Retreat" was "fair" -- not good enough to stream; WiFi in "The Viilla" was excellent. Elevator broken so if you're on the 3rd floor and you have a lot of luggage, it's a problem.

My wife and I took the two and half hour drive up from San Diego, before we even hit the road, Sean from the Lodge called to let us know early check in was available, when we got there it was so cozy, a rustic view with luxurious rooms and sitting areas including a fireplace and piano, Daniel, the manager was super friendly. Everyone who worked there was kind and offered great suggestions for Hikes and Dining. We spent three nights just lounging around, reading and star gazing after hiking and eating our way through the town. The hot tub, sauna, and gym were a nice surprise. Highly recommend to all who want to get away from the hustle and bustle of either LA or San Diego for the weekend.

Beautiful property close to town. Rooms are spacious and well equipped. Bed is comfortable. A very helpful front desk. Romantic fireplace and a fire pit. We will be back again. Thanks for a wonderful time.

This is the most expensive, and nicest, hotel in Idyllwild. With a price to match. At this price, seems like everything should be perfect. There was room for improvement. The guy answering the phone was a bit gruff. The lady was nice. The elevator hasn't been working for months, even though it's advertised and emailed. There are very steep fees for early check-in and late checkout, even during low occupancy. Even though they send out email, such as notifying you that you've missed their check-in window of 3 to 5 PM, they don't respond to email. The way they hand out keys if you arrive after 5 PM doesn't seem safe to me. There is a lack of privacy on the first and second floors with people being able to walk past your window. The breakfast is very basic, with stale pastries and bagels. There were used coffee pods left in the room. Eww.

This property is absolutely BEAUTIFUL. We stayed in serenity room. The only negative thing i would say is we heard everyone above us walking pretty loud. Would definitely stay here again. I would just choose upstairs room. The room cleanliness was great. Really clean and very stylish rooms. Suoer cute.

The place has gone down hill. Signs of delayed maintenance every where. They lost their attention to detail. Our sheets had a large rip in very visible location. The bathroom had been repainted very sloppily and amenities (umbrellas on the private Sout facing deck) were missing and unavailable. What a difference 5 years makes. We wont be returning.

Such a cute place !! Will definitely be back , the staff went above and beyond . Very clean and cozy . The perfect weekend getaway

This place is absolutely gorgeous! The rooms are beautiful and the place is just so adorable. The staff was very accommodating and friendly! I couldn’t be happier

Driving up, the lodge looked calm and relaxing. The staff at check-in was really friendly. The only downside was that the shower was not very clean (sticky walls). The rooms fridge was leaking. Also, after a day of enjoying the small town of Idyllwild, I wanted to watch some TV. However, it did not work.

Even driving up to the property left me and my partner in total awe. The lobby had this beautiful decor that nearly resembled the significance of Idyllwild/the outdoors. The room was clean and we actually loved that it led straight to the outdoors. Truthfully, we expected a nice hotel… but we were blown out of the water with this one. I would stay here again, without a doubt!

Certainly! Here’s a review you can consider using: --- ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I recently had the pleasure of staying at The Grand Idyllwild Lodge for two nights, and I can confidently say it was an amazing experience! From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with warm hospitality and a cozy atmosphere that made me feel right at home. The lodge itself is beautifully designed, blending rustic charm with modern comforts. My room was spacious, impeccably clean, and had stunning views of the surrounding nature. I especially enjoyed the peaceful ambiance, perfect for a relaxing getaway. Whether you're looking for a romantic retreat or a peaceful escape in nature, The Grand Idyllwild Lodge is the perfect spot. I can't wait to return for another visit!

Our stay at the Grand Idyllwild Lodge was nothing short of magical. We were greeted with warm hospitality and breathtaking mountain views from the moment we arrived. The lodge feels luxurious yet cozy — every detail is beautifully designed, from the fireplaces to the inviting common spaces. Our room was spotless, comfortable, and filled with thoughtful touches that made it feel extra special. Enjoying my coffee on the deck surrounded by pine trees was a peaceful way to start the day. The owners and staff truly go above and beyond to make you feel welcome and cared for — their kindness made our stay unforgettable. Whether you’re visiting for a romantic getaway or simply to recharge in nature, the Grand Idyllwild Lodge is pure perfection. We can’t wait to return!

Nice atmosphere, very comfortable. Only negative was we picked the smallest room (Tranquility). The other rooms on the 3 rd floor were bigger. We definitely will go back.

Fireplace did not work. Cold shower on last day. Breakfast could be better. Property could use some maintenance. Would not stay here again. Our room was called Serenity and should of been called Crickity as all footsteps above were heard.

Great location, friendly, helpful staff, and excellent accommodations!

We really enjoyed our stay at this lovely property. We didn't see the other Suites there, but ours (Suite Retreat) was such a warm, comfortable and luxurious place for our two nights there. All the furnishings in the room were craftsman style giving the room the feeling of 1930's elegance. The bed and linens were perfect. I loved the waterfall shower. Breakfast was very good both days and the staff were lovely. We'd go back for sure.

Beautiful property but our very small room had no windows Had to go out to see the trees Would stay again but not in that room Also glass on door didn’t have blackout shades and way too much light from outside lighting. Hard to sleep

We stayed here for 2 nights on our honeymoon. I'll start with the good: the staff was very nice and welcoming. The room was comfortable. The property was in a great location and offered lots of amenities. Now for the not so good: The rooms are NOT SOUNDPROOF. We could hear our neighbors so clearly they may as well have been in the room with us. It's hard to relax and enjoy quality time on your honeymoon when you can hear everything going on in the rooms around you. Next, the continental breakfast, nothing kills your appetite like moldy cream cheese. I don't know how the staff didn't see it when they put it out. I tried to find someone to let them know, but no staff members were out and about during breakfast.

The staff were outstanding! What more can I say. It’s that simple. They went up and beyond in taking care of me. Thank you!

Amazing customer service from Daniel and Shawn

The property wasnt ready, no staff onsite, zero help next day. Was told management was in shambles, and staff had walked off. Well they took my credit card to refund my night (thats what they said) and instead charged an additional night which I am having to dispute as well. Zero toilet paper, shampoo, conditioner, towels, coffee, hand soap, notta and they didnt respond to any request left for them? Buyer Beware, sounds like series financial isdues at the Lodge

A beautiful and peaceful weekend in a comfortable and scenic place. Dan and Sean were wonderful. The entire staff was friendly and willing to help. The lodge is within easy walking distance to restaurants and coffee shops. We will be back.

Don't make the same mistake I did. I saw the negative reviews, but it looked beautiful, so we booked the villa. We were visiting our daughter at school, and we invited her grandparents over for dinner. The villa included a table set for six. The grandparents had flown in from Chicago to visit as well and were staying at a different hotel. Shortly thereafter a man came to our door and said the grandparents had to leave. I thought he was joking at first. He said no more than four occupants in the three-bedroom suite at any time. I told him they were not occupants. They were our visitors. He said, "Either they leave or you forfeit the room." So I had to drive my elderly parents back to their hotel and they could not visit with their granddaughter. Not only did this ruin our visit, but they also treated an 80-year-old couple with complete disrespect. The workers were heartless about it and continued to lecture us about this policy that was nowhere to be found in any hotel documentation. We looked on the website and confirmation email for any mention of a policy of "no more than four people, including visitors, in a room at any time." There is nothing stating this or even close to it. As if that wasn't bad enough, they made it very clear that their "strict rules" applied even to their subpar towels. These towels were far from luxurious, and we were warned that we'd be charged for the slightest stain or mark on them. It's absurd that they charge premium prices for such substanda

Room was very nice. Employees excellent, helpful and friendly

Nice, quiet and romantic location. Minimal staff service, and access to entire property made our stay feel very intimate.

A beautiful and peaceful weekend in a comfortable and scenic place. Dan and Sean were wonderful. The entire staff was friendly and willing to help. The lodge is within easy walking distance to restaurants and coffee shops. We will be back.

The manager was very helpful with checking in as I was late getting to the hotel. Room was tastefully designed and decorated. Property very scenic. I’d recommend this property without any reservations.

This our new getaway. A beautiful tranquil environment tuck away in a mountain landscape.

Property and setting was beautiful. We would stay there again.

A beautiful stay just outside of town. Very quiet with a nice breakfast and attentive staff.

The facility is grand...building, room, grounds...set in the trees and scenic landscape of Idyllwild The staff is phenomenal,,,friendly, welcoming, knowledgeable!

Great lodge, lovely staff. Great area, so quiet and the night sky was nice and clear. Will be coming back

Stayed for our anniversary and we loved it! The breakfast was delicious and the staff was so kind.

Nice place. I stayed in the Villa with a friend. It was great for the two nights we stayed. The continental breakfast (which is served during the week), was fresh, with healthy choices and sufficient amount for breakfast. But I’m not a big morning person.

Staff was very accommodating. Continental breakfast in the morning was very nice.
