Up to three vehicles can be parked comfortable in the driveway. No street parking is permitted.
If you are coming from San Diego, we recommend you drive through Temecula and Anza instead of going through Hemet. It’s a beautiful drive and much less curvy. As with all mountain homes, whether can change quickly and it’s best to check conditions before setting out. Idyllwild has many events throughout the year that are related to arts and music. Almost any given weekend there is something to go in town to see and enjoy. 1. No parties: The Whispering Pines is a family home in a family neighborhood. We ask that if you would like to get a little loud and crazy to choose somewhere else to rent. We respect the peace of our neighbors and want our beautiful home to stay beautiful to share with many others. Any formal complaints received from the police or neighbors about excessive noise, destructive behavior and rowdiness will result in an immediate eviction and forfeit of security deposit. Please review the Good Neighbor Brochure upon arrival to ensure an enjoyable visit for all. 2. No Firearms period. If it comes to be that a guest has brought a firearm on the premises, it will result in an immediate eviction and forfeit of security deposit. 3. No Smoking/Vaping inside or outside on the property.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

The house is very comfortable and very clean. We enjoyed the spacious living room and spent quite a bit of time there laughing and talking. The kitchen was very well equipped. We were attending a wedding, so the three bathrooms were very helpful with all six of us trying to get ready at the same time! The property is well situated and very close to town. Lots of activity there over the weekend. Cute shops and lots of restaurants. My granddaughter (aged 26) was thrilled to meet Mayor Max! We made some very pleasant memories during our stay!
We had a nice stay; however, it was a bummer that the BBQ was broken for memorial weekend. They did come to check it out but could not repair it for us to use.

Dear Gina,
We are glad that you found our home beautiful, clean and safe. We truly apologize that the regulator on our two year old grill decided to break during your stay. In anticipation of your arrival, we not only cleaned the grill, ensured a full propane tank but also inspected it for functionality the day before your arrival. No one can predict when a pressure regulator will fail, and it was unfortunate that it happened during your stay. Although our technician was onsite within an hour of you notifying us to troubleshoot the issue, we do live in a mountain village where parts from a store are not available on a holiday weekend outside of working hours. It’s understandable that you envisioned grilling out over the weekend, however we know you were able to use our double oven, stove top, microwave, toaster oven and air fryer as a substitute. We want to assure you that the regulator was replaced just as soon as the stores opened after the holiday. You expressed appreciation for all of the other beautiful amenities our home has to offer. We hope that you were able to make lasting memories with your family.
My family loved our stay. The house was lovely. It was very clean and very nicely decorated. It was close enough to town to make it easy to get to, but far enough away to be comfortable. There was plenty of space for the 9 of us. The host was very patient and responsive to my million questions. We will definitely keep this property in mind for our next trip.

Very nice home but very dirty.
Very nice home with a very cozy feel, but the house is very dirty and dusty. Pictures online are a bit different than the actual house. We were also visited by mice as we found mice dropping in one of the rooms in the kitchen and on the dining table. I understand it’s the mountains but we’ve stayed in other cabins that didn’t have a mice issue. It’s okay if you get a good deal but not worth over 350 a night.

Dear Biridiana,
Thank you for your feedback. While we always take any suggestions seriously and take immediate action to resolve issues, we are a bit taken aback at your review.
Had you informed us at the beginning of your stay of the issues you described, we could have quickly remedied any concerns you had. However, you informed us once you had already vacated the property, immediately asking for a refund.
As stated in our correspondence, we have a weekly pest control service in place. We also have housekeeping inspect the condition of our home before the arrival of each new guest. Our reviews about cleanliness are nothing but stellar.
It must also be noted that we did everything to accommodate your concerns and requests. Things do happen, but we take pride in resolving them in a swift and effective way, provided we are notified.

About the host
Hosted by Patricia Railing Iqbal
We are a family of five and live in San Diego County. We love to travel and meeting amazing people along the way.
Why they chose this property
We love our family mountain retreat! We were looking for a place to make memories with our family and friends and also be able to share it with other traveling families. Whispering Pines has all of the comforts of home but surrounded by all the beautiful sights and sounds of nature. We even catch deer passing through some mornings. It's a quiet street yet still close to everything.
What makes this property unique
Whispering Pines is a spacious, newly remodeled home which is truly designed with families in mind. There are 3 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms. There is a large living area, lots of outdoor seating and dining options, and lots of games and books to enjoy. The kitchen has all the appliances and utensils one would wish for. There are cozy spaces for everyone to relax either together or on their own.
