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

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

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.

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.

As travellers from Australia unfamiliar with the town of Idyllwild or the property, we were absolutely thrilled when we drove into the property and spotted our cute Sequoia cottage. Then we walked inside and were blown away by how amazing it was inside. The whole experience from first contact prior to checking in to checking out after our stay. Beautiful town and such a cute property with Squirrels, bunny rabbits and woodpeckers around the property. Highly recommend this property. Very well equipped with a full kitchen and everything you need, while being walking distance to the town square.

stayed at the Fireside Inn one night prior to hiking devil slide trail to San Jacinto. It was a 7 minute drive to the trailhead and made it super convenient instead of driving 2 1/2 hours prior to the hike! I stayed in the redwood room which was adorable. Very clean and decorated very nicely. Loved the fact that it had a little kitchenette with a stove, microwave and mini fridge! I was a little concerned with the proximity to the street but after 6 PM everything quieted down and traffic was minimal so it was a peaceful and very quiet night! The AC worked great. My only negative comment would be to change the filter as it was very dusty. Very convenient to have a digital door code to self check in and out. For the price, this cabin was phenomenal. The king size bed was very very comfortable and had a pullout trundle underneath. I’d like to come back in the winter time and use the fireplace! it’s walking distance to restaurants and shops. Highly recommend staying here!
