Property at a Glance: Strawberry Creek Inn Bed & Breakfast

The dreamy, woodsy vibe is carried over into the recently renovated interior, where guest rooms are decked out in modern decor with country elegance. Decorated rooms feature wooden beds, fluffy blankets, and nature paintings. For a closer look at nature, guests can wander the inn’s gardens or kick back in the gazebo, which offers views of Strawberry Creek itself.

Idyllwild-Pine Cove, California: Small Art Town in the San Jacinto Mountains

Idyllwild may seem like a tiny town tucked away in the San Jacinto Mountains, but it’s no forgotten village: it earned a spot in the book 100 Best Small Art Towns in America and was voted LA’s Best Mountain Getaway by LA Weekly in 2013. Everywhere you turn, you’ll find yourself among theaters, art galleries, and eclectic shops, and you’ll walk past colorful buildings and public art. The annual Idyllwild International Festival of Cinema has been compared to a mini Sundance, and there’s even a boarding school for budding young artists at the Idyllwild Arts Foundation.

But Mother Nature is this town’s greatest artist, and people come year-round to admire her work. Go hiking in the San Bernardino National Forest, cast a line into Lake Hemet, or bike through meadows full of wildflowers. For a little more adventure, try rock climbing at Tahquitz Peak. Idyllwild is well situated for day trips as well—it’s within a two-hour drive of Palm Springs and Joshua Tree National Park.
