I was on a business trip from LA to Palm Springs and had one night on my own dime. I decided to find a location to rest but enjoy the mountains. As a child I camped in Idyllwild but haven't been back since so I knew of no good places to stay. I counted on reviews from Tripadvisor and selected... More

We had high hopes based on what we had read about the Rainbow Inn. Our experience surpassed these hopes in every way. We had the largest room with a large jacuzzi tub. The breakfasts were creative and excellent. Idyllwild is beautiful and tranquil. Best of all was John, who was fun to talk to, full of great information and couldn't... More

What a great find we had a couples weekend and the host John does everything perfect, The slow combustion stove was exactly the same as one we installed in our home in Sydney 28 years ago and it brought back great memories. We will be back.

The Rainbow Inn is delightful. Under John's direction the Inn is perfectly run. Smooth as silk service. Attention to detail is noted throughout the inn and surroundings. Townspeople rave about John and his attention to detail. It is a pleasure to know that Vic and I will now have a "home away from home" whenever we can steal a day... More

The place is surrounded by pines and has a creek running by it. The Inn is of a new construction so every room is beautifully furnished. We had the Swan Lake room which is the biggest but I checked out all the rooms and they were all very nice. The best thing about the place was the host Jon. He... More

We have stayed in a few bed and breakfast inns in the States but this one is by far the best. The property is very well presented and the 5 guest rooms are all individual. We stayed in the Strawberry Creek room which looked onto the back yard that went down to the creek (which didn't have very much water... More

A great get-away! Jon is a lovely host and the setting could not be more beautiful! Easy walk to town, amazing surroundings right outside your door, plus the rooms are all super! I can't wait to go back! Thanks again Rainbow Inn - you rock!

The Rainbow Inn provides the perfect getaway from the craziness of the city with it's lovely location among the trees. Each room is gracefully decorated and there is much space for in room and out of the room relaxation. Just a story walk from town gave us a chance for peace and quiet and also access to art, fine dining,... More

We've stayed in more expensive places that didn't come close to the wonder of this haven. Last year, we spent most of our honeymoon there, and we immediately booked the same room for our anniversary this year. We've already reserved the same week next year. I don't expect to go anywhere else for an anniversary. Ever. And we aren't exactly... More
