I bet you didn’t know that Cecil B. DeMille discovered idyllwild in 1914 and began filming in Gardner and Strawberry Valley. Including amongst his earliest production, "The girl of the golden West." At least 20 feature films were shot here in the 1920's.

The crisp mountain air of Idyllwild works its magic as you walk around the dog friendly town. As you are wandering around folksy shops and restaurants in Idyllwild’s pine-studded main square. Relaxation is an understatement in that moment. Your pup, on the other hand, is having the time of his or her life. Friendly tourists and townies can’t resist treating him or her like a celebrity while running their fingers through their fur.
The vibrant town has all the traditional trappings of a mountain hideaway, but it’s hard not to notice how much people adore dogs here — and how many other dogs are trotting alongside their owners.
Nestled in the San Jacinto mountains, Idyllwild presents an array of dog-friendly restaurants, accommodations and hiking trails that make it a relaxing retreat for humans and canines alike. Some might even joke that the only way Idyllwild could be more dog-friendly is if they elected a pooch as their mayor. But what if I told you that was already true? Come up and see for yourself! And remember Paradise in the Pines is dog friendly so book a stay!
