Disappointing Experience – Misleading Listing

The place did not have everything shown in the pictures. Our room did not have the electric stove that was advertised, and despite selecting the "breakfast included" option while booking, we were not provided any breakfast in our room. There was no one at the office—we had to call a number, and the person we spoke to said breakfast is only offered on weekends. However, this was not mentioned in the room's welcome book. He offered oatmeal, but only at 9 AM, which defeats the purpose of booking a bed and breakfast—we specifically chose this place to save time and leave early in the morning. I feel misled. If weekday breakfast isn’t available, the listing should not have offered it as an option during the booking process. Had I known this, I would have booked another property with better amenities for a similar or even lower price. Additionally, the bathroom flush was not working properly, and there were ants in the bed—my child had one crawling on his leg, which caused him to panic. Overall, it was a disappointing and uncomfortable experience.

Debbie was nice. The rest was pretty bad I spent almost 3 hrs cleaning the place, even found a woman's purse, socks, and lighter in the sofa/chairs which tells me they don't bother to clean those areas, took before and after pictures even contacted the owner Rajiv offering my cleaning services didn't even ask for a refund or anything which I hear I wouldn't have gotten anyway. The guy just doesn't care about his properties and it's a shame because they have real potential. Would not recommend

The porch view of the mountains were amazing. I would certainly recommend this place. The room was lovely, comfortable, and cozy. The price range was perfect. I even got breakfast on Saturday as I stayed an extra day from Friday to Saturday. Will be returning.

Amazing Hospitality and Location

The stay was great, even before we arrived. On our way to the Bunkhouse, we received a voicemail with the instructions on how to obtain our key, along with well wishes on our travel. Upon arrival, we obtained the key and once the door opened, my boys were in extreme excitement once they saw our room with a loft. I wanted us to rent a cabin, but with prices so high I went with this location, and it definately did not dissappoint. It gave an amazing cabin feel. Of course like any mom, you think of things you may need for breakfast and other essentials that most locations dont have. And bitterly sweeet, I OVER PACKED! The room had all the amentities needed for us. Bowls, plates, cutting boards, fridage and microwave. HEaters and extra blankets. In the morning during our official check in, the present host was super sweet. She assured my 5 year old that the hog on her wall was nothing to be afraid of. She even explained the Furbys' busy night and why they were still sleeping. As you can imagine, my 5 year old had a million questions and she was so kind and patient to answer each and every one. Then even took the time to later invite my oldest son to see her office and the hog and Furby friends. The breakfast basket each morning was a very sweet touch. They were our hiking and fishing snacks for the day. My boys and I will definitely be returning. I have even mentioned it to my family so hopefully they may join us next time. Thank you for a great stay!

Traditional

The Bunkhouse is a traditional old motel. Its cosy has a comfy bed and real cups, cutlery and a sink go along with a fridge, microwave and coffee maker. There's a small balcony off the back overlooking the forest. I was there on a weekend so breakfast is delivered to your door.

Nice wooden buckhouse

Overall the stay was pleasant. The hosts are friendly and approachable. Our room had a loft, going up stairs to the loft was quite scary as there were no poles on top to hold on to. A lot of creaking noises on the walls, loft if someone sleeps there. Its true you can hear cars zooming by constantly but they did provide ear plugs which helps a lot. We had a good time with our family.

Cute and family friendly accommodations - nice to have a kitchenette and outside patio and our kids enjoyed the space. Location is close to town and the Idyllwild Nature Center. Street outside was a little noisy when out front, but it was not heard once inside. Overall, compared to other places we have stayed around town, we felt it was a really good deal for the price and a nice option for our family. Thank you!

For whatever reason(s) may be given, not receiving continental breakast monday through friday made us really sad. Especially since cant stay weekends. Its a good thing i had food with us for early our 1st morning stay. We enjoy the views and friendly staff. We'll be back soon.
