    Fire pits in front of inn
    Karen L.

    The newly reopened Creekstone inn is a stunner! We have stayed several times at the neighboring Grand Idyllwild Lodge and decided to try the Creekstone on this trip to Idyllwild. The remodel maintained the rustic charm of the previous inn, like the massive walls of large stones and ultra cool twisted wood bannister, while adding a modern, eclectic flair. The lobby has a bar, game area, and nice sitting area in front of a fireplace. Outside there are fire pits and rocking chairs. We were told there are plans to build an outdoor swimming pool. The rooms are quite large with the same mix of rustic and modern decor as the lobby. I especially love the bathrooms that have beautiful tile work. Our room had a large stone fireplace and a very comfy king bed with luxury linens. We faced the street and it was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. The inn is located within walking distance of the quaint town of Idyllwild and is close to hiking trails. It's nice to have another upscale lodging option in Idyllwild and we would definitely stay at the Creekstone again on our next trip.

    I recently had the opportunity to visit Idyllwild, CA and was charmed not only by the town, but by the quaint, eclectic flavor of the Creekstone Inn. The lobby comes equipped with a working gas fireplace, beer bar, and a beautiful vintage wooden shuffleboard table (more on woodwork in a minute). I really loved all the fabulous Halloween decorations! The mini-Elvis was only one of the many skeletons hanging out downstairs, some sitting, "drinking at the counter" and some doing yoga, really fun. As far as the woodwork goes, the gorgeous hand-carved staircase that led me upstairs to my room, was exquisitely crafted and impossible to ignore - there's a careful attention to detail here. The front door and room code locks were extremely easy to use, I've been in hotels where they are a nightmare. My accommodations were roomy and bright and the view of the mountains from my window was lovely. The blinds darkened the room enough for the mornings spent over-sleeping in the super comfy bed. I also thought that the white noise machine near the bed was a nice addition. The room had a cute reading area, a small fridge and coffee maker. The ice bucket was topped with an actual loose wine opener, which surprised me. The snacks offered here are not free, but they are plentiful and good (I loved the dark chocolate-covered caramels). In the bathroom, there was an impressive and spacious glass-partitioned shower, completed with subway tiles. Finally, l loved the sign behind the bed that says "Fun" surrounded by popcorn bulbs. Where do the owners get these awesome additions? I slept really well here and I will come back to the Creekstone again. I can only imagine how breathtaking both Idyllwild and this hotel must be at Christmas time.

    Loved Creekstone Inn from the moment we walked in until the following day when we left. The hostess is so lovely. The rooms are clean and super cozy. I really did not want to leave our room. The Inn is for adults only and is a beautiful haven. The Inn has a lot of space for hanging outside of your room such as in the lobby, living room or front corridor. A truly special place that I honestly cannot wait to come back too. My favorite part of it is the location. High up in the San Bernardino Mountains away from the city. How romantic.

    Lovely Lobby area

    Very clean, comfortable stylish rooms and bed. We had a fridge/freezer as well. The rooms are "refreshed" meaning bed made and trash cans emptied. No clean towels! That was a disappointment.

    Beautifully renovated from a rustic mountain inn. This mountain chic boutique hotel has attention to details and mixed modern chic with natural elements. The bed and bedsheets are 5 star hotel quality and up to date electronics with streaming channels. Free locally brewed blueberry mojito kombucha tap in the common area is a nice touch to a modern day trend. Still under construction for bar/restaurant area but no noise or dust. It's very serene and welcoming place.

    The Creekstone Inn is well decorated. Here is why I will NOT be staying there again: After booking, I received no confirmation email, and they waited until 1 day before my trip (when it's too late to cancel and get a refund) to tell us there is no front desk or staff on the property. First thing we see when we walk into our room is a highlighted document to sign with rules and policies not previously advertised. (As of today I've saved their relevant website provisions and nothing is advertised there either.) Housekeeping did not clean our room during our stay, but we still tipped when we checked out. Soon after checking out, I receive a receipt with two different charges for $45, one unexplained and one for a "damaged linen fee". I called and Michelle said there was a stain on the bedsheets (there was a small mark of blueberry sauce on the fitted bedsheet). I asked if they attempted to launder it, and Michelle said yes of course it has been. I asked her to send me photo after it was laundered. She me the attached photo, showing they hadn't even stripped the bed, let alone laundered it. She then told me they will send it to a professional laundering service which will return the item on 1/4/2023, and if they get it out, the charge will be reimbursed. Looks like they are just making this up as they go, as none of this was ever provided prior to charging my card. Michelle also promised a manager would call me on 1/4, but she refused to provide his contact information, or the owner's contact information. On 1/4, I received no contact from anyone, and they still have my money. If you're looking to stay at a place that values transparency and customer service, I would highly recommend you search elsewhere.

    A very easy and convenient virtual check in. Adorably cute space that has obviously been redone recently. We had a number to text for any questions or issues. The place was quiet and just a 5 min walk into town. Rooms were clean and comfortable. If I had to point out a complaint it would just be that the walls are thin and you can hear your neighbors easily. And, our pillows became flat and unsupportive when you laid on them. The bed and bedding was extremely comfortable though! I would definitely recommend and can't wait to visit again.

    We stayed one night 2/20-2/21 and we didn't want to leave. This place is so cute, beds are very comfortable and the management was so nice. Can't wait to stay here again.

I visited about three years ago, and this stay was by far the best experience yet. We had a wonderful week at the lodge -- the quality of the linens and overall cleanliness were truly top-notch. The continental breakfast was delicious with an abundance of choices, and the happy hour with snacks was such a wonderful new perk. It's the little details that really stand out -- the bird feeders being filled each morning made for such a peaceful sight while relaxing on the deck. The rooms are beautifully appointed, and Daniel and Sean, being locals, gave us excellent recommendations for everything from dinner spots to hiking trails. Overall, we had a lovely stay and are already planning to return next month. The sauna and mini golf were definitely some of our favorite amenities during the trip. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing mountain getaway.

    DO NOT STAY HERE!…read more You know that feeling when you're excited for a trip and ready to check into your hotel after a long drive? That was not the case here. There was nobody at the front desk. I honestly thought I had the wrong address. When I finally found the desk, there was a sign saying to call the manager for questions or check-in. I tried calling--no answer. Mind you, there is rarely cell service in this area, yet they expect customers to call them to check in. I arrived early because I wanted to ask about getting a crib for our room. Someone from housekeeping came out and told me they don't offer cribs or pack-and-plays. I then left and drove all over the city trying to buy or rent a baby bed, but had no luck. When I returned, I asked if I could at least see the room we'd be staying in so I could find a safe place for my baby to sleep. That's when the cleaning lady--not a manager, not a front desk assistant--told me they don't offer cribs because children are not welcome and that we couldn't check in at all. I finally managed to get a manager on the phone, and they confirmed that we could not check in and would not be refunded for our reservation. I've stayed at many hotels, including adult-only properties. Those websites are usually very clear and upfront. I had to dig to find that this was an adults-only property. Meanwhile, their website says they partner with a children's camp and welcome families, which makes this even more confusing. While there, I also saw two other customers complaining that their rooms were never serviced. I noticed the website says no pets are allowed, yet I saw a woman coming out of her room with a dog. They did absolutely nothing to help us, refused to return our money, and were willing to turn away a family with a young baby without hesitation. Frankly, these people have no business running anything in the hospitality industry.

    5 stars! What a delightful little escape! We stayed just one…read morenight in this absolutely adorable cabin, and it instantly felt like a warm, homey retreat. Spacious, Has big rooms, fresh towels, and a cozy vibe that made it hard to leave. The fireplace was super easy to use and kept the entire place toasty. The kitchen is large and wonderfully stocked with all the appliances you could need we baked and cooked throughout our stay. Outside, the surroundings are stunning! peaceful and beautiful, with nature all around. Even though nearby homes are somewhat close, the layout and trees make it feel completely private you hardly notice. The only suggestion is that we couldn't quite figure out how to crank up the TV volume, so make sure to bring portable speaker for movie night. Highly recommend, it's the perfect cozy getaway! We'd love to come back for longer next time. Lisa, Terry, and Joyce were amazing at the front desk!! Our cabin was called the creek suite I believe!

The staff at the reception desk were super helpful and gave us suggestions of things to do for the two nights we stayed. The cabin was cute and perfect for 2 people to stay in. It was clean and presentable. The queen size bed did not work well for us. We were pretty cramped and the bed wasn't the most comfortable. I wish that I had brought my pillows from home, but decided against it before we hit the road. I would recommend for a weekend getaway. Idyllwild is a beautiful place and although we weren't the most comfortable for two nights, we still had a great time.

    Review for the Woodland Park Cottages…read more PROS: - Beautiful scenery! - All kinds of wildlife in the area - Very quiet place to stay. Makes you feel like you're not in CA. - Pet friendly! - Close to downtown Idyllwild. - Cabins are comfortable and nestled in the woods. - Our cabin had a nice little patio deck with a table and chairs. - Cable television that also includes the Dodgers channel! - Full kitchen and bath. - The cabin also has air conditioning(not the best though). - This location has a pool, picnic area, BBQs, and even a ping pong table. - The cabin also felt pretty clean... for the most part. - The rates and prices are great! CONS: - The A/C unit (not central air) was kind of weak during the day when it got really hot. - The lounge chairs inside the cabin were kind of grody, especially the arm rests... - WIFI onsite, but it's really slow. PRO-TIP: - Just FYI, the kitchen sink DOES NOT have a garbage disposal. - Also, expect random thunderstorms during the summer. It was actually pretty cool to see and experience out in the mountains. - If you have VERIZON, the signal in certain parts of the complex is almost non existent.

The cabins are in the middle of beautiful, tall trees, a mini park, and pathways with wild flowers (summer). There's a flurry of activity from squirrels, chipmunks, bluejays, and woodpeckers. The family that owns it (Collin, Denise and Matt), is very friendly and accommodating. Downtown Idyllwild is walking distance from the cabins - slightly over a mile. If you like alpine settings, this is the right place. The cabins are duplexes with a large side and a smaller side. I take the large side as I prefer the large deck to enjoy a cup of coffee, read a book, take photos, watch the wildlife, or just enjoy the scenery. This setting renews my soul.
