Everything!! Rachel at the front desk was simply marvelous her service was impeccable Great person to have at the front super helpful when we needed something to be handled. She is a true gem to that place! Raul in the bar was fantastic super friendly went out of his way for us cuz we came in kind of late gave us a food recommendation that was great and then later on saw him and showed us pictures of his Christmas dog and was just so personable and such another great gym to have at your property!! The layout of that property is superb it has something for everyone it's a huge property that you don't realize is so big very friendly to pets you could have a small room you could have a cabin you could have a bungalow you could have your whole family, it's just everything!

Not that we didn't like it we were just curious why there was carpet in the bedroom and not the tile throughout the whole room other than that we really had nothing bad to say 😃

The large, clean property, offered nice walks with our pup and a relaxing environment. On arrival, it appeared that the cabin/room we picked on Booking was not available to which we were a bit disappointed. Luckily, the Manager was able to provide us with a similar one. The bed was comfy and we enjoyed the spacious patio. The Peak Restaurant did not disappoint. The food was tasty and the Manager was great, friendly and attentive.

The only thing we would’ve liked to see is at least one small patch of fresh grass for the pups. Oh, and maybe a breakfast option. For some reason the little diner on property was closed.

We liked everything about this property. Great staff. Great landscaping and layout of things to do and enjoy. Plenty of amenities for entertainment. Looks like a beautiful wedding location. I would recommend this resort to anyone.

The restaurant on site didn’t have a lot of options other than BBQ style. Good food though. In our room, the shower door was so close to the ground that it pushes the bath mat around. So you have to pick it up every time you open or close the door. The shower room was pretty small, compared to the toilet room. The carpet had tiny little spiral metal pieces in it, around the beds. We informed the staff bc I nicked my foot on one. The staff were great. They were unaware and took note. Nonetheless, we recommend this resort and would stay here again.

The overall property wowed us as far as the mountain location, views, setup & cleanliness. Getting there from Palm Springs wasn’t an easy drive. I understand some people might not like mountain driving but we do! I loved the hand wash, shampoo & conditioner (Infuse brand?) Too bad they don’t sell them.

Unfortunately, we didn’t get to try the restaurant - it was still closed for the season (we traveled mid March ‘24) 2 things that we already shared with the property - 1) Bathroom fan was too loud 2) The towels need replacement badly

This place exceeded my expectations. The room was nice. The whole facility was great. We are pickelball people. And the courts where so nice. So much to do there. We loved our stay. And the staff was very nice and helpful.

The only downside of our stay was how much you can hear the people next door. On one side they had the TV on blast all night. And finally when we where able to sleep. At 7am We can hear a child screaming crying. And there dog whining. And the mother and dad yelling or taking loud. We can hear them clearly. It went on for two hours. I think if we stay next time. We will explore there other rooms options.

My Mom and I were soooo surprised at the size of the property and how immense and immaculate it was. We would have happy hour from the restaurant and enjoy it on the terrace at our room (34) each day. Loved the seclusion and all the walking paths and amenities. And the Village!!!! Next time we’ve decided to get a village cabin and stay for a week! I’m a huge Pickleballer so that was a nice surprise all those new courts! So looking forward to the diner and the spa!!!! I can’t say enough about this place 💕

The coffee.

Tahquitz Pines is my new favorite quick getaway!! The property is beautiful and immaculate! There is so much to do! Staff is friendly and accommodating. The decor in the various rooms and cottages are first class, not fadish or glitzy, but very tasteful and eye pleasing. The grounds at night are breathtaking! I was actually amazed at the affordability of this property compared to how fantastic this property is. I expected something far less for the price. It should be called a resort instead of retreat, although I understand why. Everything has the look and feel of being brand new. Rooms have very comfortable beds and bedding, and each room of our 2 bedroom cottage had a big screen TV along with microwave and mini frig. There are some that have full kitchens. If you are going to Idyllwild, you MUST stay here!! This is coming from someone who retired from the travel industry, so I know a good property when I see one!! You will not be disappointed!! There are so many walking trails, basketball, fitness room, recreation room with ping pong and pool, and restaurant on the grounds to open in summer. Lovely pool and spa. Wonderful playground. Firewood and pits are available for that night campfire with smores for the kids! Dog friendly! You don't have to leave the grounds, but town is only a mile down the road. Loved everything about Tahquitz Pines and am planning a trip towards summer for all ten of us!

Nothing!

The seclusion. We had room 4 which is right in the middle of the property next to the parking lot and we never would have noticed. We traveled with our dog too so it was a relief to us not being near enough to anything for any stray noise to be setting him off. Or if he did bark it causing us stress about it bothering anyone else. The patios were nice as well.

The heater was a bit much. We turned it down when we got in then off in the middle of the night but it seemed to turn back on on its own or reset to the higher temp. Maybe its user error on us but its behavior seemed odd.

The staff was incredible! From the restaurant to the front desk, everyone was so sweet and very accessible. The location was also perfect and the rooms exactly as pictured. I'd definitely stay here again.

There was some grime on the plates provided but easy to clean off. Also, the thermostat had to be restarted twice to get the air right. The tv also wasn't working, but a quick trip to the front desk for a new remote fixed it right up.

We loved how cozy and clean the accommodations were. It was in a convenient location near the village center and the view from our window was stunning.

The walls were so thin, we could hear other rooms' conversations, pets barking, even a smoke alarm that would not shut off for at least an hour. Our neighbors told us they heard us, too. Hopefully, in the future there will be a more private accommodation available.
