The Faerie House Idyllwild

Tucked inside the cedar and pine forests of Idyllwild in the San Jacinto Mountains, the Faerie House is a one-of-a-kind artistic luxury retreat — an hour and a half from Los Angeles, Orange County, and San Diego, and a world away from everything ordinary.

Romantic Escapes

Some weekends deserve more than a hotel room. The Faerie House was made for couples who want atmosphere — candlelight through stained glass, a crackling fire already laid, mornings that have nowhere to be. Whether you're celebrating an anniversary, a birthday, or simply the fact that you found each other, this is a place that makes romance feel inevitable.

Ideal for couples from Los Angeles, Orange County, and San Diego seeking a luxury mountain escape.
