Couples get away
The Pines is a great place to stay. The scenery and if you get a cabin that’s backed up to the woods is awesome on the grounds. Have a lot of great amenities. Also been there twice in the last month and we are looking to go back here shortly again for another short, stay close to town and little town of idyllwild is a great little place to walk around
