Idyllwild, is as the name denotes, an Idyll in the southern California San Jacinto Mountains. It was recently voted on of the best 100 art towns in the USA and it is an incomparable jewel of a village. In addition to the Art there is some of the best hiking in southern California, with both day and overnight trails. The weather is nearly always brilliant, with warm dry days in the summer and lots of snow in the winter. There is also fishing and boat rental available on nearby lake Hemet. But we think you will just enjoy the peaceful, relaxing, friendly atmosphere you will encounter here. People live in Idyllwild because they want to, not because they have to. A large number of San Diegans and Angelenos have, like us, decided to have a place where we are closer to nature and can recharge our engines. We hope you can share this with us, and feel some of the stress dissipate just planning your getaway.
