My husband and I stay in rural areas quite often on our getaways and we get that things aren't always perfect. HOWEVER, We have never stayed in a place for $240 a night with such a lack of attention to even the simplest of amenities. The name of the room we stayed in was called the, "Woodland Vista". For example, The walls in the kitchen were dusty with grease dripping down them. The kitchen sink was clogged with onions and hair floating when we arrived. The lady at the desk was happy to pour liquid plumber in it. The sink in the bathroom had hair in it. The bathtub seemed to have been kicked in on one side, exposing the wood frame and yuck behind it. Both soap dispensers in the bathroom were empty. Half of the light bulbs were out in the livingroom. The railing on the balcony is completely unsafe and could easily, if leaned on, go over. The breakfast consisted of a mini-juice box, a mini-scone, a soft apple and a single oatmeal bag both mornings. Not to bad, if the apple could have been fresh. We talked about complaining, but seriously, where would we start. We stayed our 2 nights, and will never stay there again.

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.

Difference between rustic and rundown. This place is very run down. And dirty! Dirty pillows and comforter. The tv was broken, sliding glass door didn’t close completely and the air conditioner was duck taped to the window and hose fell out at one point. Was upgraded second night because of how gross the room was. Was a private cottage and things worked and it was cleaner. But still in disrepair. Also they forgot the continental breakfast. Don’t stay here.
Dirty pillows. Gross.

This is a constructive critique, not a destructive one. My rental was cute, but small. My criticisms are about small things that are easy to remedy, but detract from the overall experience. Two light bulbs in the dimly lit room were burned out, and there was no hand or body soap. The staff responded immediately. Good. There were no paper towels or napkins in the kitchenette. The chairs out on the rear deck were very uncomfortable to sit in. The coffee provided was the worst tasting I've ever had. Undrinkable. If management will address these small things, it will be a completely enjoyable place to stay.

This letter is in reference to our stay at the Idyllwild Bunkhouse in the Woodland Vista cabin on May 21st-23rd 2025. We booked this cabin on Expedia after reading tons of reviews, watching videos and reviewing all online outlets for the property. From the pictures that were presented, we were excited to enjoy our 15th Wedding Anniversary away in Idyllwild. We were greeted by Deb who was super friendly and welcoming. She checked us in and gave us our key. Looking from the outside, everything looked great. We enjoyed spending time on the private deck and enjoying nature. As time went on, we began to notice and document: -The first night, we didn’t know about the heat and froze to death. The next day we asked Deb and she told us how to turn it on in the bathroom. Once we did, the unit was extremely loud and the tops and inside were very dirty. -Towel hook in bathroom fell down when a towel was placed on it. -Unable to sit on couch as it had stains, was dirty and not being comfortable and being very loud. We had to sit at the dining table the entire stay which was very uncomfortable and not relaxing at all. -Bed was extremely uncomfortable and may possibly be broken on half the bed. -Tons of cobwebs everywhere and extremely dusty -Big black heater in main room doesn’t work and it completely full of dust -Kitchen had oil stains running down the wall -Duvet cover, sheets, chair in bedroom all had white stains
