Part of the perfection was the waking to inches of snow on the ground with it still falling. Another part of perfection is that we love fireplaces and kept it roaring. It was amazing to be at such a reasonably priced location with my giant dog Dunkin welcomed. Dunkin made friends with Chris' dog Sully and experienced his first time... More

We spent a couple days here recently and it was just great. We were on our motorcycles and a storm was coming in - Chris found a great place for us to park our bikes out of the rain and gave us perfect suggestions for dinner and lunch the next day. The room was just what expected and wanted -... More

My wife and I have been coming to Idyllwild for years, and the Silver Pines Lodge is our favorite place to stay. Silver Pines has it all: right there in town, you can walk anywhere; right on Strawberry Creek, very quiet and peaceful; a variety of attractive and very livable rooms, we usually one with a refrigerator and stove; very...

We really loved the atmosphere. Our room had a lilac theme and was very enjoyable. We loved the fish pond with Koi and the big trees all around. Close enough to town to walk and other nice hikes around. We will go back. Everyone we met there was friendly and helpful. Especially Chris. She even gave me plants from her... More

Our cabin was nicely furnished (table, chairs, couch that made into a bed, referigerator, microwave and wood burning fireplace). The cabin was very clean and comfortable and the grounds were beautuful. We could... More

We've been staying at the Silver Pines for quite a few years and have our "favorite" seasonal cabins which are very familiar and comfortable as soon as we arrive. The owner, Chris, is friendly and cheerful and is either on the premises or has very attentive people who fill in for her if she is out or up at her... More

This place is one of our favorites. It's not the lap of luxury, there is no spa, no onsite bar or restaurant, but each of the cabins or rooms are set up for at least two and up to 5 or 6 (maybe more) people. Each one has a kitchen and there's coffee provided in case you didn't bring any.... More

The rooms are small, but clean and cute. Silver Pines Lodge is an older place; has been around since the 1920s, and is not "high luxury." Some reviewers complain that things like furnaces malfunction, but that was not our experience. Lovely, peaceful, restful. The huge koi pond in back with its multiple waterfalls is a dream. I sat there for... More
