    This place is a hidden gem. A lure of various vintage items. The moment you walk up the owner is sitting perched on the window front warmly inviting you into the door. When you walk in it is filled with 3 floors of all kinds of goodies. Each floor has a different theme. I really enjoyed walking to the downstairs level to find an old Michael Jackson Album hanging on the wall, alongside a simple but classic rocking chair, & a television set that I grew up watching that was in the shape of a box rectangular prism shape. There were so many interesting things to see in every nook of the store. I especially loved their selection of pocket watches on display right when you entered the store. They looked sleek, cool, and very reminiscent of the golden days. I loved them so much I ended up getting 2x of them. The feel and mood of this store is very Alice in Wonderland. You never know what kind of goodies you might find down the rabbit hole. Definitely worth checking out if you're in town.

    His next door to Steve's "Bubba Books" shop so naturally, It is a must stop. Love the "Eclectic" style. It is really a one of a kind. Anything from creepy homemade dolls to odd pieces. For sure bring cash if not bring an open mind. It is a cross between Beetlejuice and Fred Sandford living-room. A lot to wonder and explore with reasonable prices. So if you collect random odd things especially anything related to creepy then this is for you.

    Super cool place! We're visiting from Orange County and I really wanted to stop at this place while we're here. They have some of the most random coolest stuff! I ended up getting a good pocket watch that flips open for $25 - great deal- completely working. I'm wearing it as a necklace for now to make it a little more girly and it's so awesome and beautiful! I love that I have one when it's gone out of fashion now because I love having things other people don't. The owner was decked out in steampunk attire and gave us a little tour of his place that he is so proud of He gave me a few lessons on pocket watches and his cool gaucho knife

    What a cool hidden gem! We had such an awesome experience at this shop. The owner popped his head out of the window the second we parked telling us he loved our hats. He then proceeded to give us the greatest introduction to the shop that we could have asked for. I drove to Idyllwild specifically for this shop and was not disappointed. The owner alone makes this such an amazing visit. He was helpful, made it feel like we were touring a museum, and even gave us free postcards when we asked if he had any available. I can't wait to come back!

    Favorite store in Idyllwild...we got the full dollar tour of the place by Peter. He gave me kudos for my hat! Tons of fun stuff from steam punk to art to a wonderful tree necklace. Easy to spend alot of time checking it all out... Got great customer service and not once did he sit behind the desk and play on his cellphone!

    The Sign says it all. Enter The Funky Bazaar and enjoy.

    This place is FUNKY! A great selection of affordable books, CDs, Vinyl, and some fantastic art by locals. Really enjoyed this out of the way emporium . Peter is a marvelous host and we had a great time exploring this fun collection of treasures. Must see the 3rd floor for unusual and delicate sculptures, candles and paintings. My favorite art pieces were the Iggy Pop painting and a fanciful ray gun sculpture. Prices are very reasonable and this store is worth a look if you dig eclectic and perky collections. Warning: No poopy people allowed :-)

    See all

    Rustic Sunrise is a rustic, vintage store that you can explore for hours without getting tired!…read moreEvery piece is selected very carefully and you can find beautiful gems here with the lowest price! Unbelievably cheap from what you'll get for the real value if the items. This store is a nostalgia for me and when i walked in I traveled the time!!!! Looking all beautiful pieces brought me to my mom's grandma's home....Even some pieces my grandma still has it...Old pictures brought tears on my ears...Beautiful faces that they lost in history and maybe some of them aren't recognizable anymore...Service was great. The lady was very warm and friendly...Take your time because you can find pieces that they are very so vintage! I love history and i love museums and collecting things that they have story behind it...Eventhough I dont know their story but i like the vibe...Parking is very tricky and if its busy it will be hard to find one... It is a vintage store so the prices are given to the product by value...And in my opinion for some items they were asking so cheap! Some items were reasonably priced...

    Honestly, save yourself the trip. The owner has a terrible attitude and zero customer service…read moreskills. My mom went inside to shop while we waited in the car out front, and the owner came outside snapping photos of our license plates and acting like we were doing something wrong. Maybe focus less on harassing people in the parking lot and more on treating paying customers with basic respect. Very uncomfortable experience.
