Enjoy the peaceful retreat feel of this divine 1BR with forest views, plus an exceptionally spacious living room and full bathroom stocked with eco spa-worthy universal wash & locally made organic face oils courtesy of Wildland Organics.
We have a deep commitment to eco-friendly, non-toxic, vegan, & upcycled materials - which you will find throughout the space. We use only non-toxic, natural cleaning supplies - 100% cotton sheets, and all vegan materials throughout the home - including a cozy down-alternative duvet.
You will find the kitchenette stocked with local coffee, raw sugar, sea salt and organic pepper for your enjoyment. Please note this space features a "kitchenette", not a full kitchen - which includes a 2 burner hot plate, 1 pan, 1 pot, a microwave, mini-fridge/freezer, and an array of plates/mugs/utensils.
Although we do not have a traditional dining table, please see photos of our tea table and coffee table/game table.
Because this guest suite functions as a retreat space, there is no television available. There is, however, high-speed internet if you would like to bring a computer or tablet to stream. As mentioned, this space was designed to be a place for quiet contemplation - please no parties, no smoking, and no additional guests without expressed permission.
The Retreat Space sits on the same property as the Wildland Be Well Yurt several yards away. Both the Yurt and the Retreat Space have exclusive access to their own designated outdoor areas, along with access to some common/shared spaces throughout the property. You are welcome to book both spaces for groups of up to 6, please message us for details.
For a truly relaxing experience, we especially recommend spending some time in the sitting area by the creek. Directions to hiking trails plus recommended sightseeing, shopping and restaurants can be found on our @wildlandorganics IG story highlights titled "Visit Idyllwild". We will also send you links to our best recommendations upon receiving your booking confirmation.
As hosts, we live upstairs with our cat and small dog, so while we do our best to preserve a quiet & contemplative atmosphere for our guests - you may hear sounds of everyday life from our living quarters. The dog is usually quiet as a mouse (unless the UPS man shows up, haha!). We also provide a sound machine for the bedroom, and multiple fans to muffle any noise you might hear.
As an offering of gratitude for visiting, we are happy to provide each guest a taste of the Wildland experience. Our company, Wildland Organics, specializes in mindful, minimalist offerings for hair, body, and home that you will get to experience throughout your stay. Luxurious and organic oils, universal wash & organic body & space sanitizers made right here in Idyllwild will be at your disposal to enjoy. You will also receive a welcome gift bag to take home with you, featuring special surprise gifts.
If you like what you see, we also have a shop in town called WILDLAND that we invite you to visit. We offer special guest-only discounted offerings at the shop year round. Upon booking, we will also provide you with a detailed & curated guide to the best coffee & restaurants in town, along with shopping and hiking recommendations as well.
We look forward to hosting you at the Wildland Retreat Space (aka: The Spacious Sanctuary)
