Idyllwild overnight

We drove up to Idyllwild Friday, just for a one night stay at the "village" at the Silver Pines Lodge.  These are individual lodgings with a small fridge, microwave, and coffee maker.  Ours had a wonderful fireplace and a front porch also.  Hubby had Saturday off, so away we went!

I awoke before 7 a.m. and went for a morning drive downtown before it filled up with people.  I could hear blue jays, robins, and woodpeckers, and even a red-tailed hawk.  It was pleasant to be downtown without a bunch of people milling around!  I even went to the library when they opened and got a couple of hardcover books for $1 each.

While it wasn't a long stay, it was pleasant for both of us.  We both had a stressful week.  In fact, hubby awoke with a headache and dizziness, so I was eager to get him off the mountain this morning.

If you do wish to get out of the desert heat, I can recommend Idyllwild.  It has a small town feeling and the people are friendly.  There are lots of places to stay up there.
 The new Silver Pines "village".  Honestly, I wasn't thrilled with this.  Too close together and NO privacy.  There are 4 "cabins" here...
 Deer statues downtown.
 Look...NO CARS!   :-)
No cars here either.  I love 7:00 a.m.!

    The next time you want to visit Idyllwild, you might want to check out our daughter's cabin. I think I have mentioned it before and blogged about it during the fire two years ago.

    It is at the end of a road and you have all the privacy you could want and the views are wonderful....
