The Lodge at Pine Cove

We really loved our stay here, and the price can’t be beat!
The owners are SUPER NICE. They make a great breakfast for you every morning, they are vegetarian friendly. The quiche they made hit the spot!
It’s about a 5 minute drive north of Idyllwild, in a town called Pine Cove. The views from the back yard are amazing!
We will def stay here again when we want to take a quick break from urban life.
Also, it’s very clean.

We decided to stay at the Lodge at Pine Cover initially for the price — at around $ 100/​night with free parking and breakfast, it was just the ticket for a quick getaway over Memorial Day weekend for our anniversary. It’s about 3 miles from Idyllwild proper (about a five minute drive in fog) but miles away from the commute/​stress of everyday life.
Gary, the proprietor, is very friendly and laid-​back. He showed us to our room (upgraded because the original room has just been painted and still had some fumes) and offered us coffee. We took him up and his offer and asked about the places in town that locals eat. He gave some great suggestions, which we took him up on and were not disappointed. The room itself was IMMACULATE, as were the other rooms that Gary let me tours, and the Lodge as a whole. The room had a small refrigerator, TV w/​VCR, coffee/​hot chocolate/​tea makings, small toiletries, fluffy towels, and a fantastic deck. It was all we needed and more.
Breakfast was yummy on both days, with fruit, yogurt, sausage, and homemade muffins/​pancakes/​french toast offered, along with OJ and coffee.
On our last night, Gary had a fire going and we sat until evening chatting away. It was a fantastic stay, and I recommend the Lodge for anyone who loves B&Bs and loves to be social.
