    "There are many dog-friendly people in the neighborhood, and there are great trails and hiking areas where leashed dogs are welcome; however not all dogs in idyllwild are socialized, and there are not many enclosed public spaces where dogs can safely play together off-leash."

    "Good luck finding people to rent to you if you have a dog for a town that has a dog for a mayor it doesn’t like dogs. You need them too. Cause there is a bunch of wild life around you might need help to protect from "

    "It’s a very small village of About 1,800 full time residents. It’s a resort mountain town with no skiing. It’s known for rock climbing & hiking. Perched above the low desert of Palm Desert people escape here from the high heat there. No fast food and Mom and pop shops. Dogs as Mayors for the village. It’s like living back when everyone knew your name, kids could ride their bikes, and they were safe. It’s a secret, not many people even know we are up here. So shhh we like it that way! It’s Magical!"
