We got the last cabin with 2 single beds which we didn't mind. Great log cabin with a real fire and lovely homel furnishings. Small fridge, great shower. We would absolutely stay here again. Ideal location, friendly host and hostess. Nothing was too much trouble. This was one of our most memorable places on this trip.

My wife and I have been staying at the Fireside Inn for about 5 years now. We make anywhere between 2-4 trips a year, staying an average of 3 nights. We have tried numerous different cabins and while we have our favorites they are all great. The owners, Larry and Pam, are extremely friendly and I believe they truly enjoy... More

We've grown to love the Fireside over the last two years; I've held off reviewing it until I felt I knew its variety a little better, since this isn't a cookie-cutter set of rooms. If you want that, go elsewhere; if you think it's charming that every room is different, keep reading. The Fireside is quintessential Idyllwild, in two parts:... More

My wife, puppy, and I spent a couple nights this past weekend at the Fireside, in the Acorn unit. We spent our days out hiking and shopping, and evenings around the fireplace. The staff/Larry and Pam could not have been more cordial/nicer in their emails or in person. Our room was great for sleeping, well heated, and very comfortable. The... More

I stayed at the hawk during the Christmas holiday in 2012. My wife and two kids loved the place. The place is clean and all the stuff worked when we arrive. Larry was very helpful in recommending the great place of the town to visit. The cabin is small and you can hear conversation from the other cabin in the... More

My wife and I have been visiting the Fireside Inn a couple times a year for over 20 years. Its location just one block from shops in Idyllwild Village is perfect. Looking for a romantic get away? Then cuddling by the crackling fire in your own room is what the Fireside Inn offers. The Rustic movie theater is just three... More

The family decided to make a last minute trip for a little down time. Luckily we found a cabin availavle at the Fireside Inn, the Bluebird. We really enjoyed our short stay and will be looking forward to returning. The accommodations fit our needs perfectly and felt like we got a very good deal. Very friendly and helpful service too.
