This property has not been designed for children. It is not childproofed, and has open access to a waterway. By booking this property, you the parent/adult accept FULL LIABILITY for the safety of yourself and any children or pets staying with you. We ask that all adults, children, and pets respect the QUIETUDE of this wellness property. The space has been designed as a place for rest and rejuvenation, so please refrain from screaming, running, or other boisterous activities on site. There is a playground just a short 3 minute drive away, and plenty of hikes and other public outdoor areas to enjoy.

Pets are allowed with a $100 Pet Fee. Please make sure you have added your pet to your reservation under the number/type of guests. If you are having trouble, please message us for assistance in adding a pet manually.

PET RULES:

1. Up to 3 animals allowed
3. Must be POTTY TRAINED - you will be charged in addition to your pet fee for any pet accidents.
4. FRIENDLY, WELL-SOCIALIZED dogs only.
5. Dog must be ON LEASH WHEN OUTSIDE, AT ALL TIMES. Breaking this rule will result in you being asked to leave the property.
6. Pets CANNOT be left unattended - EVER. Pet must GO WITH YOU everywhere you go, including meals out (this is a pet-friendly town, call the restaurant ahead of time to ask for a pet friendly table).
7. Pay the $100 pet fee - this happens automatically if your pet is included in the reservation. If you did not include your pet, then you will need to message us for assistance in adding the pet manually.

Tesla wall connector level 2 charger is available FREE for guests on site. Please schedule your charging to begin AFTER 9PM and run through the night. Charging before 9pm will result in extra fees being added to your folio, electricity on the mountain is very expensive before 9pm because of peak hours pricing.

Enjoy the peaceful retreat feel of this divine 1BR with forest views, plus an exceptionally spacious living room and full bathroom stocked with eco spa-worthy universal wash & locally made organic face oils courtesy of Wildland Organics.

We have a deep commitment to eco-friendly, non-toxic, vegan, & upcycled materials - which you will find throughout the space. We use only non-toxic, natural cleaning supplies - 100% cotton sheets, and all vegan materials throughout the home - including a cozy down-alternative duvet.

You will find the kitchenette stocked with local coffee, raw sugar, sea salt and organic pepper for your enjoyment. Please note this space features a "kitchenette", not a full kitchen - which includes a 2 burner hot plate, 1 pan, 1 pot, a microwave, mini-fridge/freezer, and an array of plates/mugs/utensils.

Although we do not have a traditional dining table, please see photos of our tea table and coffee table/game table.

Because this guest suite functions as a retreat space, there is no television available. There is, however, high-speed internet if you would like to bring a computer or tablet to stream. As mentioned, this space was designed to be a place for quiet contemplation - please no parties, no smoking, and no additional guests without expressed permission.

The Retreat Space sits on the same property as the Wildland Be Well Yurt several yards away. Both the Yurt and the Retreat Space have exclusive access to their own designated outdoor areas, along with access to some common/shared spaces throughout the property. You are welcome to book both spaces for groups of up to 6, please message us for details.

For a truly relaxing experience, we especially recommend spending some time in the sitting area by the creek. Directions to hiking trails plus recommended sightseeing, shopping and restaurants can be found on our @wildlandorganics IG story highlights titled "Visit Idyllwild". We will also send you links to our best recommendations upon receiving your booking confirmation.

As hosts, we live upstairs with our cat and small dog, so while we do our best to preserve a quiet & contemplative atmosphere for our guests - you may hear sounds of everyday life from our living quarters. The dog is usually quiet as a mouse (unless the UPS man shows up, haha!). We also provide a sound machine for the bedroom, and multiple fans to muffle any noise you might hear.

As an offering of gratitude for visiting, we are happy to provide each guest a taste of the Wildland experience. Our company, Wildland Organics, specializes in mindful, minimalist offerings for hair, body, and home that you will get to experience throughout your stay. Luxurious and organic oils, universal wash & organic body & space sanitizers made right here in Idyllwild will be at your disposal to enjoy. You will also receive a welcome gift bag to take home with you, featuring special surprise gifts.

If you like what you see, we also have a shop in town called WILDLAND that we invite you to visit. We offer special guest-only discounted offerings at the shop year round. Upon booking, we will also provide you with a detailed & curated guide to the best coffee & restaurants in town, along with shopping and hiking recommendations as well.

We look forward to hosting you at the Wildland Retreat Space (aka: The Spacious Sanctuary)

The Neighborhood:
Located on Strawberry Creek, this land offers the soothing sounds only a seasonal creek can provide. Usually running September through May, and sometimes all year, please message to confirm - as the creek changes from season to season. Colorful foliage and apple trees ripe for the picking can be enjoyed in the fall. Come springtime, enjoy frogs croaking and the sweet scent of lilacs in the air as they bloom.

Mountain Haven

This place is amazing! Idyllwild is idyllic and beautiful with crisp clean air and beautiful views all around. This retreat space is absolutely amazing. They also have a Yurt on property that I'm told from other guests is great. Our hosts were amazing and this place had everything we could hope for and didn't have all the things you would hope it wouldn't (like a TV). The added convenience of having a Tesla charger made this the perfect place for us. Wouldn't recommend a place more.
