The shop is absolutely darling and well curated for all ages. The store is laid out extremely well that you can see alot and navigate all of the gems inside with ease. Not overly cluttered with goods but a really impressive amount of items at the same time. The name is fitting and feels very feminine and girly. I love that they have a variety of dresses, pants, tops, accessories, jewelry you name it. The owner was so sweet and very helpful. Customer service was a 10/10. She helped set up a fitting room for me and even brought alternative items for me to look at and try on when one dress didn't work for me. Seriously such a sweet and lovely woman, love supporting local when the staff/owners appreciate the tourists coming through. Prices were fair and some items were discounted which was nice. I snagged a kimono which was beautiful black and sheer with cherry blossoms and cranes. I total steel of a deal too! When in Idyllwild you definitely need to check out Prairie Dove as she has the cutest stuff and it did get us out of the summer heat for a little bit :)

Upon entering you don't know where to look first. So many little niches of various items, styles, colors, accessories and Phyllis has them sectioned off into little themes- like one area specializes in ladylike Victorian under things and nightgowns. Phyllis is the proprietor/buyer and has an eye for unique, stylish, creative and eye-catching fashion. Everything from butter soft jeans to sandals, hats, blouses, dresses, jumpers, jewelry, mix-n-match flattering designs, all displayed in a comfortable setting where you can shop in peace, two fitting rooms with comfy chairs for your spouses / friends to sit when you emerge to ask their opinion. I loved the jeans Phyllis chose- white, soft, not overly clingy but comfortably so, and she suggested other colors which I had to buy because I knew I would regret it, especially with the friendly price tags. It was so much fun to shop there! Thank you Phyllis for all your great suggestions, kind words and being the perfect beautiful gracious brand of Idyllwild!

The place is huge and is unique in that part of its store is out door, offering a hybrid shopping experience. The shops are separated by sections.

I usually bring something home as a memento from a special trip, and I plumb forgot on our Seattle trip last month. So, arriving in Idyllwild for a two night B&B stay, I vowed to not let that happen again. Silly little guys, but Forest Whispers was THE ONLY PLACE IN ALL OF IDYLLWILD that had gnomes, and they had a great collection for sale. I would have liked to bring them all home with me, but that is a little too insane even for me. Tiny store, lots of merchandise, reasonably priced, fun to visit. There was a sign on the door, "closed...but call such and such number and we will come down and open ". We did, they did, and now, needless to say, my garden and me are happy.
