Every single person was very kind and helpful. We loved the grounds, the courts, the game room and the location. The room felt a bit cramped for 6 people. It was made more for 4 people. We will definitely be back and will refer friends to this amazing place!

Gorgeous property amazing for big groups and family reunions. Downside is walls are paper thin and a couple above us was loudly intimate through the night and we had children in our room below us. No one was available at the front desk to help keep them quiet so we just didn’t sleep well and it’s super uncomfortable for what felt like a family friendly spot. Staff offered a late checkout but we were already planning to leave at original checkout time so we didn’t accept that offer to make things right. The resort has a lot of potential if they upgrade the customer experience.

Love &Luggage:Suitehearts Review-Tahquitz Pines

Tahquitz Pines Retreat is the kind of place that feels like a step out of everyday life and into pure mountain calm. Our cabin was cozy, clean, and full of charm, with just the right mix of rustic touches and comfort. The bed was super comfortable, and the quiet surroundings made for some of the best sleep we’ve had in a long time. The grounds are beautiful and peaceful, perfect for wandering or just sitting with a cup of coffee in the fresh air. Parking was easy, and we loved how close it is to town while still feeling tucked away in nature. Staff here really make the difference—warm, welcoming, and attentive, making sure you feel at home from check-in to checkout. Overall: A quiet, scenic mountain getaway that balances comfort with rustic charm. Perfect for couples looking to recharge, reconnect, and breathe in that crisp Idyllwild air.

Beautiful spot nestled in the mountains. The place we stayed in was perfect. The backyard was enclosed which is ideal for the pups. The pickleball courts are top notch! If i were to visit again i would bring a few things like dishwasher tabs, paper towels, wine opener etc... but we were very happy with our stay and very comfortable.the whole time.
