IdyllwildIdyllwild is located in the San Jacinto mountains of Southern California, tucked away in the remote, southern portion of the San Bernardino National Forest above Palm Springs.

I have a family history on Idyllwild that goes back 75 years. My family, namely the Smiths, Arnezs and Lees owned much of the Mountain back in the 50's and 60's.

Located on Hwy 243 above 5300 feet on the south side of Idyllwild, the tahquitz Inn has been serving guests since 1977. Tahquitz is the name of the Indian tribe that inhabited the region in the 1700 and 1800's.
The Inn offers one and two bedroom suites, with kitchens and available with fireplaces. In-suite phones, coffee, cable TV, and a heated pool and spa (May-October) are just a few of the amenities that set the Inn apart from other lodges in Idyllwild, all at affordable rates. And they even allow dogs that cant just be separated from their loving masters. You have to bring your own pooper scooper. they don't provide them and they do expect everything to be spotless when you leave.

Idyllwild | MountainsAs some of you might have noticed, I spent a great deal of my youth up in Idyllwild, about 2 months each summer and the 2 week Christmas break....Usually in the summer I was just up with my cousins, my mom, dad and sister, especially my sister would all be at home in Upland.
I can remember one Christmas break in 1958, when the whole family was together at my aunt and uncles place and it was real cold, -7 degrees daytime highs and about 4 feet of snow on the ground. One day we all decided to go sledding. We were right at the base of Suicide Rock and had all of the roads to ourselves, except other people who lived up there....The Sheriff and the CHP had closed the mountain down because of the heavy snow fall and the below zero temperatures...Essentially we had the streets of a very frozen Idyllwild to our selves.
