About this cabin rental
This well maintained cabin sits on 3/4 acres ready for your exploration. This bright open concept 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom vacation rental enjoys amazing views of the local mountain peaks. Living spaces and bedrooms are on separate floors. Two large covered decks, one on each level offers great views. Wood ceilings and mountain decor bring outdoor living indoors. Neat, clean and ready for your downtime!
Note: Picture of the master bedroom shows a TV. This TV is no longer on the property.
Thank you for your interest in our cabin. It is a very quiet and cozy place to relax.
I want you to be aware of a few our policies. These are all things we've had issues with in the past. By booking you agree to the following rules.
1. No Smoking in the house or on the decks. If you must smoke please do so on the driveway or street and use the metal trash can near the lower entry to dispose of butts. It is in a very high risk fire area.
2. No Parties. Generally family birthday parties are fine but we have had issues with "21" year old parties thrown by families that have gotten out of control.
3. No Dishwasher on site. There is no automatic dishwasher at the cabin. All dishes must be washed and put away. There is a minimum $25 fee if the cleaners have to do the dishes.
4. The house must be generally picked up before you leave. Leaving full trash bag is ok but leaving trash all over the house isn't. There can be an extra cleaning fee if the dishes aren't cleaned and put away.
5. Dogs are fine but we also ask that you bring a blanket for your dog if you allow them on the couch or bed with you. We have had dogs in the past and understand accidents happen. We have carpet cleaner at the cabin. In the case of an accident please thoroughly clean up. All animal leavings need to be cleaned up. We also have individual cleanup bags for your convenience. No cats, we're allergic. Yes we had someone bring a cat.
Our place is dog friendly and has a fenced space behind for them to play.
Maximum 2 pets allowed
Must be House Trained
No unattended pets left in the house.
Should be on leash when outside.
$100 fee per undisclosed pet discovered
6. The cabin is designed with all the bedrooms and bathrooms downstairs. The kitchen and living areas are upstairs. This means that during the day stairs would have to be traversed to use the bathroom.
7. Maximum 8 people staying at the property, without our expressed permission. The house is on a septic system and more than 8 people taxes it. The area is also very quiet and we don't want to disturb our neighbors. There are cameras on the front of the cabin overlooking the driveway and two front doors.
8. Thermostat settings. The cabin is equipped with an internet enabled thermostat. Please be considerate when adjusting the thermostat. Owners will be alerted when the thermostat is set really high or really low.
There are limited vents upstairs so the best way to cool or heat the upstairs is to close all the downstairs doors. Other things that help are to close the vents in the bathrooms and close one of the two vents in the master bedroom. Running both of the ceiling fans upstairs really helps with cooling and airflow.
If the vents are adjusted properly there is no need to set the thermostat below 75 in the summer and 70 in the winter.
Adjusting the doors and vents also helps when the wood burning stove is in use as it forces the warmer air downstairs.
EV Charging fee: $12.50/day
We feel it's better to have set expectations before booking your stay.
Thanks again for you interest.

The house looks amazing from the photos and description - in reality it is actually better !
There is everything you could want in this house and more and we had the most fabulous stay. Having stayed in holiday homes across Europe and the States I can honestly say this is the best ever.
The home is beautifully furnished with comfortable beds and sofas and as a guest you really feel at home with everything from the fluffy towels to the selection of complimentary toiletries waiting on arrival.
The house was immaculately clean and kept at a perfect temperature not too hot and not too cold.
The kitchen was well equipped and everything easy to use with plenty of cutlery and cups, plates etc….
Access to the property was easy and straightforward and there is ample car parking outside the front door. The directions given were spot on and it was easy to locate.
Out on the deck you are entertained by the awesome local wildlife - we met a variety of birds and some very cheeky and cute chipmunks which played around the house and in the trees. Our favourite was the gorgeous blue Stellar Jays who visited every morning at breakfast time.
The local town of Idyllwild has a small supermarket and some great shops to buy local produce and souvenirs - we loved the pottery studio and purchased some delightful mementos of our trip. Everyone we met was friendly and welcoming.
Cannot fault this place or the location at all and we were not disappointed by anything. Thank you so much.

We enjoyed our stay. The location is excellent. We found many sheets and towels in the dryer drying when we arrived. We folded them and put them in the closet. We also were not able to use the main bedroom fan because there was no remote. We thought about using the outdoor grill, but it was disgustingly dirty. I have stayed at other Idyllwild rentals that were much cleaner. You really can’t beat the location.

Wonderful cabin nestled in the treetops. The two decks were very special, one caught the early morning sunshine, and the other was a feeding station for local wildlife. There were nuts and birdseed at the cabin, and that paired with some apple slices bought in many varieties of birds and squirrels. We sat out with our coffee and breakfast, and watched them all eating theirs!
We explored trails and the town, all a short drive away.
This is a beautiful cabin, clean, well stocked, and with plenty of hot water. We had a much needed mini mountain retreat and left feeling refreshed. Exactly what we were looking for. Thank you!!!

Wow, wow, I know this review is a bit late, but better late then never. We had such an exciting trip. The cabin was beautiful and well taken care of. This is the first rental that was actually clean and comfortable. The beds were nice and comfy the family space was wonderful to just hang out in and play table games. We had a blast. The only issue was that the house is a top of a hill and the road up is a bit steep. We had two cars, luckily one was a awd. The other a 4 cylinder rav4 fwd, this car could not make it up the icy road. Try as we may, we couldn’t get the car up to the property. We ended up having to leave car at a community center and lucky we didn’t get a ticket or got towed. We also went when there was that freak snow storm, so that car was snowed in. We ended up having to shovel it out. I would just suggest that you have a car that can make it up icy steep roads if you go in the winter and there is snow. It wouldn’t have been one of our trips with out some kind of adventure. I also lost the house key in the snow when my awd almost got stuck as well. The host was gracious and only charged me the key replacement. I know others would have charged a pretty penny. Thank you thank you. I hope you will have us back next time we come up again.

We absolutely loved this property and the multiple decks. While we were there, it snowed and a creek was nearby that we could listen to out on the deck. The property has everything you could need and was very close to town. The owner was very communicative and very kind. We will definitely be returning!

Wonderful house, very clean and in a quiet area
We really enjoyed our stay. It was very relaxing and the home was in a quiet area, but close to town. The house was actually nicer then we expected and the kitchen had more amenities then what was listed. We enjoyed our morning coffee on the deck watching the birds. If you stay here, buy unsalted peanuts for the stellar jays. They entertained us and asked for more each morning.

Great mountain getaway
Our stay was amazing! We were just 1.5 miles from town and there were so many great hiking trails nearby. Just a short walk down the hill from the house is a mountain resource center that has information on things to do in the surrounding area. I also have to give Michael a big shout out. He was very helpful and gave us recommendations on where to eat and some trails to check out close to the house. 10/10 will stay again.

Cabin with Excellent Balconies
The place was in a nice quiet area only 2 miles from Idyllwild, the WiFi worked great, we enjoyed the 2 excellent balconies, it has a wood stove which we used, our only issue was the stairs and much of flooring was very slick for our older dogs and that made it tough for them to get around on it.

Peaceful.
We like the house, the place. This is good for much younger than Seniors. This is good also on hot time or Summer. It is cold there and going back it’s foggy. So pick the good season for this house. The house is beautiful, and clean.

House on the Treetops
This was such a great place to come and unwind. The views were breathtaking! The place was very clean and it had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. Plenty of towels, fresh linens and even doggie baggies for our fur babies. Will definitely book again!

Just what we needed
Last year my son’s 8th birthday party was canceled due to Covid. Due to covid we still couldn’t have a real bday party, so instead we decided to have a mini vacation in Idylwild and this cabin was perfect for it!
Everything was clean and inviting. There were games available doe the kids to play. The kitchen had what we needed. We loved watching the beautiful birds come to the bird feeders. There was still some snow on the ground for the kids to experience snow.
The owner was responsive and helpful.
It was just what we all needed to escape the stressors of our lives. I’m so glad we stayed here.

Relaxing Getaway
The cabin had a wonderful treehouse feel, with beautiful trees all around and great views throughout the cabin. My two little ones ( ages 2 and 4) loved watching the birds and squirrels and exploring the nearby trails at at the Idyllwild park and nature center. The cabin is very close to town and other excursions. Very clean and the owners very accommodating. We would definitely come back!

Oval my family really enjoyed our stay. The only thing I didn’t care for was the food that was left in the fridge. However it was a minor thing. We still had a blast
