It was just what we needed after our cabin in Idyllwild had a plumbing issue on Sunday that we couldn’t address until Monday. We made that decision late in the day and Fireside’s ABnB style self check in and clean comfortable rooms with a kitchenette allowed us to order food, relax a bit and sleep comfortably then get going the next morning to attack our cabin issue. Can’t say we’ll be back (hope not) but it’s a quiet yet close mountain spot if you want to spend time in Idyllwild.

Every time we stay, I’m reluctant to review online - the Fireside Inn feels like such a well kept secret. We love the Fireside Inn’s mix of location, accessibility, rustic charm, and ease of access. It’s all the benefits of a hotel with the privacy of an Airbnb. Will definitely be back next year

Lovely, cozy, little cabin… I think the important thing to remember is that it is an old cabin…So some stuff, like the shower, could use a remodel… No complaints though, price was fair, everything works, has heating/ac, hot water, trails are about 1/2 hr walking distance, close to town center…My only suggestion would be to bring extra blankets. They also had this amazing complimentary tea which I will be buying more of. Would definitely book again.

Gorgeous little cabin style getaway spot. Easy to find, dedicated parking, easy access. Owners are very responsive over text. Super cute inside, very comfortable beds. I was worried it would be noisy since it’s right off the road but come nighttime I slept like a baby! There was a small issue with the fridge and I do think they should move the closet door into the hallway so it’s easier to get into. I also wish there was a chair outside. Overall wonderful place and I am completely in love with Idyllwild

Absolutely loved our 1 night stay in ‘Fern’. If you want a one bedroom room that’s really more of a private little lodge with a renovated bathroom and very cute kitchen, this is the place for you. Private but close to town. 21st C touches like automatic check-in with code (provided via text) was great. Room was spotless and retained charm of why one visits Idyllwild.
