This is our second time staying at this property. The room was great and very comfortable overall. However, I did want to mention two concerns. First, there was food left in the refrigerator that wasn’t ours, and second, there was a noticeable huge blue stain running from the shower handle down to the shower floor. These two issues made me question whether the room had been thoroughly cleaned before our stay.

Special and memorable

I reserved one night for a quick anniversary get away for my husband and I. Having never been to Taquitz Pines, I only had photos of the resort to go off of. When we arrived we were very happy with the overall atmosphere and beauty of the property. The customer representative at the front desk front desk was welcoming and helpful. When we arrived at our room, a kwansit hut that had been transformed into a peaceful and pleasant hideaway. It was clean, perfectly appointed and arranged with all the amenities needed for an enjoyable and comfortable stay, making our stay special and memorable. Thanks Taquitz Pines! We will be back.

Beautiful location and grounds, well done updating and aesthetics. Check-in staff was wonderful. Peaceful outside. A really great place for kids and dogs too. The grounds have everything from pool to pickle ball. The restaurant was jaw dropping awful. From service to food. Inedible- we ended up not eating it. It seemed like it was everyone’s first day on a job ever. It was funny if it wasn’t expensive. We stayed in a really cute block of 3 cabins. So pretty, but we did not stay our second night. We went home to get some sleep! The walls were so thin they rattled anytime a neighbor moved, and a snorer kept us up. And the mattress -was something else. Some may love it but it felt like a foam mattress so soft I couldn’t get out of the hole in the middle! And I am small. But, all that being said, it was incredibly inexpensive, gorgeous grounds with a very friendly staff. Great for retreats or big families, with incredible views of the mountains.

Lovely gem in Idyllwild. The property is beautiful, well maintained, in the trees and a mile from the town and many restaurants. It has all the amenities one or a family could want and a nice restaurant onsite. The price was fair and I would definitely stay here again!
