My husband and I ended up at the Bunkhouse based on a Living Social deal and man, are we glad we did. Such a convenient location, so close to town, and what beautiful views! Having a mini kitchen made it so easy for us to feel right at home. The room was cozy and the breakfast basket was yummy and... More

Superb service & hospitality made our first trip to the mountains a treat...Holly & Susan helped us, from booking the reservation to checking us out, they were kind, caring, and treated us with exceptional service. The drive up the mountains was a bit scary for me as I looked down and kept thinking we may fall off the cliff but... More

Just what you'd expect in a Mountain getaway. Cozy cabin and a basket with warms scones, lemon custard, fruit and oatmeal to get your day going delivered to your door each morning. The room was clean, tidy and warm. The "tin" shower was my only complaint. It doesn't fit the place and is quite frankly cheap. But it's easy to... More

Loved the bunkhouse! The rooms are quaint, clean and warmly decorated. The service was outstanding. We were directed to the Nature Center, terrific restaurants, while enjoying great artisan shops. Each morning a complimentary basket of oatmeal, juice, apples and homemade scones wiith lemon spread was delivered to our door. Wow! My kids waited by the door each morning. We aare?... More

This was a lovely little hotel room that felt like a cabin. I was the only one staying, so I didn't hear an ounce of noise. The traffic quiets down early and didn't bother me one bit. The balcony out back really made the room for me. It was a lovely view and a quiet peaceful place to sit and... More

If you want to visit a small, quiet (no card horns!), charming town - check out Strawberry Creek Bunkhouse. Very charming 50's motel (refurbished) and the homemade scones delivered to your room for breakfast are fantastic. Every recommendation we inquired about for food options were right on as well. Friendly staff with a low key atmosphere.

I read the previous review after I booked the room at the Bunkhouse, and I was concerned. So after I got the confirmation email, I emailed back politely to see what the heater situation was, saying that I had read on Trip Advisor that there had been trouble lately. The innkeeper emailed me back right away that my room had... More

We went for the Idyllwild Jazz Festival; it was tough to get a room as rather late in the game so when they had one room available we grabbed it not knowing much about the area etc. We knew it was a motel-style plus cabins but we were so pleasantly surprised about the decor, how clean it was, lovely kitchenette...
