That's too bad they removed the display, but it probably doesn't make sense now seasonally to have it there. I wonder if anyone purchased them haha since there was a sign under the orange one but not when we visited. I always love fun and free art installations around the city. It adds so much charm to the area! Hopefully they will bring this back or replace it with something new in the future.

It is a very walkable town with plenty of parking lots to handle the January through March crowds. I am looking forward to another eventul Modernism week in February. All my favorite restaurants are locatated in downtown, like Farm, Cheeky's, Wilma and Frieda, Al Dente, 849, and Tropicale to name a few, with so many more like Bongo Johnny's and Broken Yolk. I love strolling the shops like Best Bookstore and Tommy Bahamas.and checking out the Cahuilla museum gift shop.

Kids were bored because they don't have a lot of booths that sells kids items, but that's ok! We needed up at the city booth and they said this month some vendors didn't get to make it so it's not as busy and as wide of a variety/selections. Overall I still enjoyed! We would have spent more money if there were more booths! Have a great summer!

It was definitely a fun road trip / day trip experience. Essentially it's very small town, nature vibes. Located in the mountains it's a nice drive. Twisty turns and roads that lead to a cute town and plenty of nature paths, hikes, and sites to explore. Definitely Idyllwild is great for the outdoorsy folks who like to camp and hike. As far as the town goes, it's got old timey charm and is a nice little escape from the big city life. Shops are charming and a nice small variety of restaurants here. I found it an entertaining place to visit for a few hours but then that's about it. If you aren't a hiker or camper, their downtown area is walkable and even if you go slow, you can see everything in about an hour or two. While the shops are fun and kitchy, not a lot of great shopping. Restaurants are standard for a small town but nothing 5 star worthy that I could find that you'd come out of your way for a meal for. If you can appreciate an old school town with friendly locals/shop owners and nice scenery then it's a great stop for you. I'm really happy I came and I had fun, but this isn't a town/area I'd need to come back to anytime soon. Every few years coming up for the day would be just fine with me. Cute place, old school vibes and nice change of scenery.

Also a nice place for a break from the heat down below. Theres loads of residents but also loads of visitors that comes for a break. Cute Airbnb that you can escape to. I don't think it's that big as we've only spent time in the main downtown area. If you prefer more nature, camping is also available nearby on the campground. Lake hemet and campground isn't that far away. We normally stay downtown in the square area as that's where all the shops and restaurants are. Parking can be tricky depending on when you visit as most spot are taken. Weekend, it's busy but weekdays maybe less crowded. The square is cute with the massive pine tress centering. During the holidays it's all lighted up. You have loads of restaurants surrounding it as well as loads of fun trinket shops. Mainly caters to the tourist. We have our regulars that we like to frequents. There's a brewery that we seen but need to try next time. Of course Middle Ridge winery is a must for us. A cute place that also is a cute shop. They had an event with a live band and food vendors the day we visited. The Garden center is definitely worth a wander through. There's so many cute trinkets and stuff that they carry. It's like walking through a secret garden. Also the ice cream shop is alway a must for us. Can't beat having a little break with ice cream up in the mountain. Everything is pretty much walking distance from each other. There's a few thrift store along the way. The main roads is where everything is. The whole town isn't that big so walking to and from everything is perfect. Stop by someplace for a drink and just take in nature. The cute quaint town of Idyllwild is someplace that you should check out. A short distance from Palm Springs and just off the 10 freeway.

He was slated to make an appearance at 2 pm at Woolley's and there was a large crowd to welcome him. You can't walk a block without coming across dogs of all pedigree. There are water bowls out in a few places for them too. Last time we checked out the shops on the left side of the street. This time we explored the right side, parked by the Antique Store and I enjoyed a shopping spree in practically every shop I entered. Even found a gift for grand nephew's newborn- a woodland mobile and a puppy bootie. Grandkids will be getting omiyage from here too. Doc found a nice cute plant to take home. Hubs, Doc and birthday pup waited mostly outside. We had 3 hours before our cabin was ready. We even had lunch from a hot dog truck since the Bakery's Grill was backed up. Clean chilled mountain air, blue skies, gorgeous clouds, hikers, couples and families with their four legged fur babies, very relaxed atmosphere:

This is for all you Mid-Century Modern lovers out there. The Kaufmann name came from Edgar J. Kaufmann he was a Pittsburgh Department Store Tycoon. He wanted a retreat from the harsh winters back east. The Architect is Richard Neutra this is by far one of his famous works to date. He designed the house in 1946. There is no tours of this house. In fact it is private. You will see a no trespassing sign with armed alert. So whatever you do take pictures outside of the property. I cannot put other website links on this site.
