ly beautiful area, wonderful grass lawn, shade to make it very comfortable, easy access to clean restrooms and many other outstanding amenities.
The views, that overlook the mountains down into the valley are wonderful. I can't imagine a more beautiful setting.
Located just outside of the town of Idyllwild, it provides easy access a short distance from town. A private location, for an ideal price, along with a wonderful host made this venue over the top in every way. I highly recommend Rey and his beautiful wedding venue.
