Always Inn Idyllwild Vacation Cottages

The location was great, the beds were super comfortable

Understanding it is a mountain cabin, thing will not be perfectly clean, but there were some areas that clearly had not been cleaned in a while -- cobwebs on the mantel, dead moths in the windowsills along with cobwebs. The outside sitting area was not too desireable, nor was the grill. We adapted, but were bummed too

The cabin was so cute and it was in such a scenic area. There is a narrow road down to the cabin. You might have to be mindful of parking if there is another renter in the neighboring cabin. But the lay out of the house, gave such wonderful views of the forest. I was not able to connect onto the internet even though I got the password. I loved being unplugged. My 7 year old not so much. I really liked the triangle lay out.

Not being able to connect on the internet so my 7 year old could watch videos. I got the password but I wasn't able to connect onto the internet. Maybe it was the connection or weather.

Great property, well kept, great for extended vacations

Nobody was there to greet us, due to poor phone reception on this area, which should of been taken in consideration , I was lost for at least an hour, the place does not have numbers on the street. Don't know if its because ,according to a local, you can not rent a place in the area, or what.Once we found the property, we didn't know which cabin was it,!!! found set of keys on the first cabin we look , and we got in. evidently, the owner/manager, does not go often to the property since it was not clean, spider webs were covering a lot of spaces. floor boards were lifting out of the floor, inviting anybody to have an accident, due to splintered wood.. shower didn't have the handle for hot water, told the owner and she sent a guy to look at the problem, that gave me the impression he knew about it, and as a solution he left a lock channel to open and close the shower handle!!!!!! again, very unhappy.!!!!!!!! I expected a nicer place, specially for the price i was charged, $249.00 plus $183.12 in taxes and fees, NOT WORTH IT the $ 432.12 !!!!!!!! at all!!!!!!!!!!!! Much to be desired.

Literally privacy was A+ enjoying the snow literally in tha back yard awesome experience nice location.looking forward to return.

Overall, we did like the cabin (Sleeping Beauty). It is small (I would guess about 700 sq.ft), but enough for 2-3 days stay. Four of us (2 adults, 2 kids) fit in just fine. Since the 2nd cabin on the property was under remodel (Serenity), we had full use of the property as well. Heater kept us worm. Nice bathroom and kitchen (nice tile), clean and updated. Very usable kitchen with a full size stove and refrigerator. DVD player worked. However, it is too expensive! You can rent a comparable (or a lot bigger) cabin in Idyllwild for half-the-price. The only reason we took it is that we were taking the trip last minute and everything else was booked. For the premium price, I would certainly expect a full roll of toilet paper (a few sheets left?), a roll of paper towel, and > 17" TV. Also, I am rating service as 1 (would rate as 0 if I could) because we never got any instructions for check-in and were never able to reach anyone on the phone (the voicemail said that message box was full). For a while I was freaking out standing in front of the cabin in the blizzard w/o a key. Eventually we did find the key.

This is like going to an abandoned house. There is no one on sight. They did not answer their phones for the 1st 8 calls. The grounds were shabby and very run down. It was way over priced. We left without staying and found a beautiful place for 1/2 the price in town. We were so frustrated and disgusted with the management and the exterior of the place it set a bad tone to start our anniversary of 22 years. We have never left a place before.
