“cobwebs were part of the decor”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 March 2009
1
person found this review helpful

To say the place needed a coat of paint would be a gross understatement. The Cedar Creek Inn is in a state of disrepair. A winter snow was melting and there were no gutters to keep the water from mucking up the walk to our room, there was no welcome mat to wipe our feet on and the light was out so when we came home after dinner we were pretty much guessing where to step. The current Inn Keepers run two other businesses including a real-estate company and have kids - they do not live on the property. So there's no wonder the place is a bit shabby.

Dear Sir,

We are very sorry to hear that you did not enjoy your stay with us. Although I remember you well and was surprised to see your remarks here. To clarify to any others reading your remarks, I would like to respond to a few points. There certainly are no cobwebs in our rooms. It is true the property needs some spiffing up and repair, but we strive to provide clean, comfortable rooms. I would also like to state that everything in your room was in perfect working order.

The fact that I am a licensed real estate agent and a mother certainly has nothing to do with the condition of the inn. In fact, I believe it adds to my overall ability to assist guests with their needs. The deferred maintenance is something we are working on daily. We have made repairs and improvement over the last two weeks and in the future will make considerably larger changes. We thank you for pointing out a few issues that should be immediately dealt with and would have happily received that input from you during your stay. It is unfortunate that you didn't mention your discomfort at that time. We would have gone out of our way to rectify any problems. We are saddened to hear that the Cedar Street Inn was not a good fit for you.

While some changes and improvements won't happen immediately, we will continue to provide great service to our guests. We welcome any feedback.

Please also take note of our growing cabin rental inventory. Possibly that would suite you better. We look forward to seeing you again in Idyllwild, even if just for another great message at the inn.

Best regards,
Don and Tiffany
Innkeepers

“Disappointing stay avoid this place...”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 November 2008

person found this review helpful

My husband and I stayed at Cedar Street Inn this past weekend and were very disappointed at the cleanliness and overall condition of the Three Cottages room where we stayed. The king bed consisted of two twin beds pushed together and was not very comfortable. After closely seeing the lack of cleanliness of the room my husband didn't feel comfortable sleeping between the sheets. The room had a strong smokey smell and the carpets were very dirty and the entire room was in need of a complete refurbishing. The TV was a joke with only a few channels and a snowy picture. I felt like I was in the dark ages when TV's needed antennas. When we checked in the lady told me that there is no breakfast served on the weekends! Isn't that when you would typically serve it! When we checked out I told the lady our experiences and she told me that the owner was looking to sell it and doesn't want to put any money into the place. The place was probably really nice at one time but not anymore. If you really want a nice place for just a little bit more go next door to the Heritage House. What a huge difference!!

“Old but nicely located”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 October 2008

person found this review helpful

We just stayed for 1 evening - the Ashley Terrace room located in the rear of the property. There is no doubt that there is substantial deferred maintenance issues and the property is just plain OLD. But for one night we enjoyed it - if we were to spend more than one night we would probably reconsider. The location is great - within walking distance of the town center and the Bread Basket for breakfast.

“Good location, poor accommodation”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 July 2008

person found this review helpful

When we first contacted the Cedar Street Inn (CSI) the man on the phone was a little 'off' and that should have been our first clue not to book it. We stayed in 'Thee Cottage'. My husband had booked it for our anniversary and unfortunately we were disappointed about the quality of the room. The decor needs some serious updating and renovating. The cleanliness was ok, but could have been improved. The bed was two twins pushed together and was very uncomfortable. The ceiling fan which we needed on at night was very noisy, hence I slept badly. The door to the cottage didn't work properly. The carpet, chairs and bedspread were stained. The towels and bedding were old. The supplied toiletries were samples they'd received through internet freebies, not proper hotel supplies. There is no maid service during your stay. The TV must have been from 1985 and had about 6 channels. We had a couples massage in a musty back- room of the property where the tape player had to be turned over half way through. The women that did the massages did a good job, but the ambiance was lacking. The woman on the front desk seemed a little stand offish and flustered and when we asked about a 10% off deal that was advertised on their web site, she didn't know a thing about it, although she did honor it after some debate. The location was however great, within walking distance to most things in town and there was ample parking. We would definitely try somewhere else next time.

“Wonderful! Refreshing!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 April 2008

We booked Rheinhaus at the Cedar St. website. We needed a cabin with Wi-Fi capability, and I wanted to bring our small dog.
We were delighted with the cabin layout. There was a fenced backyard and dog door so the dog felt right at home.
There was a fresh jacuzzi on the front deck where the evening stars were shining like diamonds.
The cabin owner left condiments for us in the fridge! What a treat.
Fresh butter for our pancakes, and real maple syrup!
My husband enjoyed the Wi-Fi. It let him keep in touch with a project while he relaxed on the front deck. We loved watching the squirrels play in the pine trees. It felt so private with the trees surrounding the house in a canopy forest. So much better than a sterile, empty
shell of a cabin!
Thanks, Rheinhaus.
