AMORE RETREAT
IDYLLWILD STORY
Nestled in the captivating charm of Idyllwild, Amore Retreat welcomes you to a haven surrounded by towering pines, majestic mountains, and the soothing scent of cedar trees. This quaint retreat, blessed with four delightful seasons, offers a serene escape. As you wander through the enchanting village, nearby Strawberry Creek flows gently, while a short drive are lakes Hemet and Fulmor beckon with their tranquility.

Dr. Wylie’s love affair with Idyllwild began in 2006, a love so deep that it led her to establish a haven for marriage and couple’s retreats. The initial idea of a B&B retreat evolved into a more profound calling – a commitment to guide couples and individuals through life transformations. Now, in her cozy home, Dr. Wylie, along with her loving husband, offers a warm and private space where couples find solace and security.

Your journey starts with your designated parking space and a walkway adorned with a gentle water feature and an impressive grand oak tree. Passing through the double French doors, Dr. Wylie personally greets you, marking the beginning of your private retreat experience.
In winter, a crackling fireplace awaits, while in summer, a gentle breeze drifts through open windows. The Keurig stands ready to brew your coffee or tea, and a private restroom ensures your comfort. Settle into the embrace of a large leather Chesterfield sofa, where you can seamlessly blend work and relaxation in this beautiful loving and secure environment.

Welcome to Amore Retreat, where the essence of Idyllwild comfort meets the promise of transformative experiences.
