This property is not well kept. They have a spider and mice problem. It is extremely close to the main road so it is extremely noisy all night long. Would most likely not stay here again and I will not recommend it to anyone.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The cabin was very nice. My room had 2 beds as well as dishes, a mini refrigerator and microwave. The lighting was a little on the dim side, but not a huge issue at all. The outside with the plants and seating was very nice! They had lights around the plants that reminded me of a fairy tale world. I loved this place and will definitely stay again.

Overall enjoyed our experience at Idyllwild Bunkhouse. One thing I would like to bring up was that the sofa sleeper had a stain. I don’t believe the cover was even washed.

We both enjoyed the fact that we were among only 3 other guests rooms occupied while we were there. For whatever reason(s) may be given, not receiving continental breakast monday through friday made us really sad. Especially since cant stay weekends. Its a good thing i had food with us for early our 1st morning stay. We enjoy the views and friendly staff. We'll be back soon.
