Escape to Whispering Pines: Your Idyllwild Retreat
Discover a spacious, single-level home nestled in the serene heart of Idyllwild. Perfect for families seeking relaxation and rejuvenation, Whispering Pines offers easy access to trails, the nature center, and the village. Enjoy year-round activities for all ages, while experiencing the comforts of home.

Guests are welcome to use the entire home. Because we also use our home, we keep our personal items and cleaning products in a couple of closets and in our garage so those areas will be locked and inaccessible. The home is very spacious and has all of the nice comforts of your home. There are plenty of toys for the kids to play with for both indoors and outdoors.

Guests are welcome to use the entire property with exception of the areas which will be locked those include the garage and a couple of closets.

Whispering Pines Certificate #RVC-1555 is on a very quiet street, where one can enjoy tranquility and appreciate the sounds of birds and frogs throughout the day. The village, multiple trails and the Nature Center are all within a few minutes walk or drive. This area is an outdoor lover`s paradise.

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.

Great property, great manager.

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.

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!

BBQ on Memorial Day

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.

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.
