Ian and Rodney are wonderful hosts - not to mention amazing chefs! The B&B is charming and very well maintained. The grounds are beautiful -you could have a lovely stay without ever leaving - and Idyllwild is a quaint little town with plenty to offer (shops, galleries, a museum, and restarsunts). One of our favorite places - can't wait to return!

A totally relaxing and fun experience. Ian and Rodney are pleasant, knowlegable and kind. My friend and I had the best time and loved hanging out in the many corners of the inn and on the grounds. We truly were spoiled and even though it has been 3 months since we stayed, we keep thinking of our wonderful mini-vacation. We stay in B&Bs all the time and this one was a great find and reinforces all the many reasons we prefer small inns. They offer several signature dishes and breakfast was perfect: eggs were fresh from their own chickens. We can't wait to come back to wade in the creek and re-visit the hammock garden and enjoy the property and great hospitality in the warm weather.
