The location was fantastic and the cabin super cute, but the heater didn’t work which made for a very cold night.

I love the decor and the bathroom. The frogs or toads singing right outside the window are interesting, I like them and wonder what kind they are. I like the easy check in and location. But I do think the cabin could use some fabreeze or air freshener, it smelled kind of like old band aids when we got here.

Disliked: Staff & service
Liked the quaintness. Bed was comfortable. Cleanliness was good. Didn’t like the bathroom. Shower and toilet need updated. The electrical setup was dangerous. You had to unplug the toaster from an ext. cord to plug in the refrigerator, that plugged into an adapter on the ext cord. No instructions for the heater or the fireplace. When we turned the heater on it smelled like it was dirty. The bed sheets are showing wear.

The room is fine and everything worked. There is, however, an incessant humming noise in the Ponderosa unit. I could not determine where it came from, but it was loud enough to make sleeping difficult. Please fix this problem!

This property is extremely unique. It's a collection of cabins. Some are attached to one another but, unlike a motel, they are individual units. Think of a... Triplex? Like a duplex? You share a very thick wall but, when inside, it feels like a full size cabin. Additionally, it's very quiet. It's small & is a very small business. Chances are you will never talk to, or see, staff unless you need help with your booking. They are very kind & accommodating. If you leave a msg, they will contact you almost immediately. I have tried 2 of the smaller units. 1. Ponderosa: basically a studio with separate, small kitchen & 3/4 fridge, breakfast table, lots of windows & bathroom. It's perfect for one or 2 ppl, shorter stays, or if you won't be inside too much. 2. Fern: 1 bdrm, full bath, kitchen & full size appliances. Larger eating area. Both offer lots of closet space, large dressers, fireplaces & efficient heaters controlled with a thermostat. For a variety of reasons I have stayed at a number of places in Idyllwild. Some more expensive. Some newer or recently refurbished. The Fireside Inn is, hands down, the best place I have stayed. Re: Cleanliness & quality: spotless & very well cared for inside & out. With such a variety of units & prices, there is something for everyone. You can't get better than the Fireside Inn. I know, this sounds like I know them. I swear, I don't. This is a completely above board review. It's really this great! ☺️

Cozy & rustic. Comfortable cabin with separate bedroom, kitchen & dining table. Nice fireplace. Close to town. Bathtub tile and paint could use touchup. Cabin lighting is very dim.

Such a great little spot! Come prepared with your own firewood for the fireplace. Things in town close relatively early but there’s a market not even a minute drive down the road that’s open til 8 perfect to grab necessities at and cook a cozy meal in your cabin. You’re pretty close to the other guests but not sharing walls so it feels like the perfect balance of secluded but not scary and isolated. Perfect weekend getaway spot!

Cozy little Inn
I loved the Fireside Inn. So cozy and comfortable. I can't wait to visit again. The room was a great size and everything I needed and more. It's close to town and everything else. Parking was a little tight with the snow but all guests of the Inn made it work. You do need to bring your own firewood but easy to find in town.

Was a cozy little place in winter wonderland. Walking distance to everything and the people around us were super friendly and helpful. The cabin had everything we needed perfect for a family of 4. The sofa bed wasn’t very comfortable but it did the job. Great price in a great area. Absolutely recommend it! We are already looking forward to comeback in the spring.
