We love coming to stay in the "cozy cabin" in the woods! Inside, the cabin is warmly and quaintly decorated and spotlessly clean, and generously stocked with everything you need for cool nights; tons of pillows, blankets and throws for the beds or in front of the fireplace, a fully equipped kitchen for cooking, and 2 spacious bathrooms with lots of towels. Since the cabin is nestled in a hollow, the trees surround the deck and provide peace and privacy. Having coffee on this deck in the morning is my favorite thing to do here; Stellar Jays, nuthatches and other birds come in close along with the squirrels. There is also a small herd of deer that walks through the yard and stops to graze here. It's only 5 minutes from town and has hiking trails leading out from the back yard that we took advantage of. The peace, quiet and fresh air here is so rejuvenating and good for the soul; we will definitely be back!

This cabin is amazing. So clean and had all the amenities you need. Very close to town, but far enough away to have some peace and quit. We will definitely book here again.

Peaceful and quiet cabin nestled in the woods. Clean and spacious interior. No A/C and can get quite warm in the afternoon hours. Box fans abound trying to keep things cool. A portable window AC unit in the living room would have greatly helped. Beds were somewhat uncomfortable but tolerable. Kitchen and bathroom amenities were adequate as expected.
4.0
We loved the rustic mountain look and feel of the cabin, the beds and furniture were very nice, and the kitchen was well stocked with amenities. No air conditioning, so in hot weather the cabin gets extremely warn and the fans provided are ineffective. We would like to try to stay there in cooler weather.

Great property. Especially loved having my coffee with the deer in the morning off the rear deck. So peaceful.

We called into the office and told the young lady that we would not be able to come, she informed us that we would not be getting a refund, we were aware of that. I also sent a email the next day expressing the fact that we had called and would not be coming, we received text messages and emails from you all weekend so I assumed that the right hand didn’t communicate with the left hand, hopefully this message will clear it up for you

We stayed close to Idyllwild Pines Camp so we could visit with campers and friends during day and retreat to alone time at the cabin for restful sleep. Cabin was perfect for 4 of us adults.

We had lots of wildlife, enough trees and space between the road and other neighbors that we had great privacy. A great hiking trail just off the property. Loved it!

This place was just amazing. Not too far from town but also not too close. It was quiet and tranquil. Enjoyed the deer in the back. Would highly recommend and stay here again.

Thank you for such a beautiful cabin. And the location is amazing. My family and I enjoyed our short time there. The stairs are a bit much if you have elderly or people who don’t do stairs, but worth it!!

We had a wonderful time at Elk Horn Retreat. We stayed 5 nights and loved every minute of it. The cabin is beautifully decorated, well furnished, and extremely comfortable. The location is very private and an easy drive to town. Highly recommend this cabin for a stay in Idyllwild.

Loved the books for the kids, so thoughtful! Perfect for our family of 4, with everything we needed in the kitchen. Wonderful location along hillside trail leading to the perimeter trail, the nature center, and a river. The secret tree swing was a super bonus.

This home is just a mile out of Idyllwild in the mountains and very close to the nature center where there are several hiking trails. The cabin was very clean and had everything you would need for a home away from home. Full kitchen with nice assortment of pots/pans/knives and utensils. Enjoyed the real log fireplace and strong wifi/cable tv. Master suite/bath was very nice with very comfortable bed. I was here for some hiking and relaxing while attending BNP Parabas tennis in Indian Wells. Thank you for sharing your home with me...

We had a wonderful time visiting Idyllwild and staying eat the cabin. It was much more than we could have hoped for. Extremely clean and cozy. My only bit of advice is watch the driveway. It is NOT for a low car or with snow on the ground. It is very steep. Fortunately I brought my pickup and was able to back out of the driveway. We will be back!

Clean, warm and comfortable. Beautiful forest views from many large windows. Had everything we needed and more. Definitely recommend!

When we first stepped foot into the cabin it was immediately apparent the love that was poured into this home; so very warm and inviting. The cabin was completely spotless and very well maintained. We had everything we needed. The incredibly beautiful location can't be beat. There are bobcats that stroll through the woods surrounding the cabin in the early morning and evenings so please be sure to keep your fur babies leashed.

A perfect home for our two dogs, who enjoyed exploring the beautiful property! Super super comfy beds in both rooms, and the two oversized recliners were so perfect! Convenient location to the Nature Center, and Deer Springs Trailhead. We had a nice walk to the nature center. A quick drive to town. Kitchen is clean, organized, and equipped for meals. We ate most of our meals in home. The deck is comfortable,quiet, and removed from close neighbors. Only suggestion is to have spare tp and facial tissue on hand. We may have missed it. Love the home and we hope to revisit soon!!

Nice combo of cabin and house. Carpet made it cozy. Nice having two bathrooms. Wish there was a warning of the steep driveway.

We enjoyed our stay so much at this lovely cabin: it was perfectly appointed with everything we needed! A fully stocked kitchen, tons of extra blankets and pillows, comfy beds and an excellent heating system for chilly nights. The deck was nestled in the trees and was so peaceful. We will definitely be coming back.
5.0
The house was so clean and cozy. We felt right at home. There is also a trail right near the house that allows you quick access to nature. The back patio forces you to slow down and enjoy the peacefulness that is offered around the house. The beds were very comfortable and had soft sheets which was a major plus for me. I would highly recommend this house for a peaceful getaway. We are definitely coming back with our two girls. I will note that you do have to drive to town but it’s very close.

Nice quiet people friendly environment. Great for a family vacation

This cabin is located in a very quiet neighborhood about a mile from "downtown" Idyllwild.
It is extremely clean and well-equipped with excellent kitchen appliances and cookware.
We ate every meal at the cabin (mostly on the back deck) making full use of the extensive kitchen space and equipment.
The birds and squirrels were a joy to watch and photograph.
Despite the heat, the temperature in the cabin was comfortable due to the shade from surrounding trees and use of window fans.
This was my 3rd visit to the Elk Horn cabin (the other 2 being over 25 years ago!) and it is still a wonderful as ever!

This was my first time visiting Idyllwild. My friend and I rented this cabin for the weekend and we’re pleasantly surprised at all it had to offer to make our stay comfortable and pleasant. It was a great location being only 5 minutes from the center of town and even closer to various trail heads and activities. We had a great time! Thank you.

This gem is a perfect cabin for a getaway. Lots of hiking trails, drove over to the Palm Springs Tram and hiked there. Great!! The cabin is a perfect, just the right amount of rustic. Great location among the trees. Lots of fans for cooling off during the warm summer. We will be back soon!!
5.0
This home is better than the photos show! Very clean and well maintained. The real bonus is enjoying the outdoors as the lot is large and adjacent to trails which lead you to the nature center or rim trail. I was concerned that the house doesn’t have AC given we visited during July. However with the fans, breeze and shade trees outside, we were never uncomfortable. We would love to come back!

Clean and well thought out. Felt like home. Able to cook and bake to our hearts content.

Home is secluded with no direct neighbors. Great for relaxing. Need to bring your own essentials like cooking oil, sugar, etc. Also, there was no iron.

This was one of the best-stocked rentals and it was exceptionally clean. The hot water was super hot and the climate control was super easy. There was a fireplace and they even had it stocked with logs (though we brought fire starters to make it easier to light.) The grounds were STUNNING I wish I could include photos. Wildlife, a creek, snow on the ground, nestled into the hillside. They had coffee, ziploc bags, good quality soaps and hand soap, dish soap, throw blankets and pillows, plenty of towels, everything you could need. The check in and check out process was the easiest ever. I really think we’ll be back and it’s so nice knowing you don’t have to worry about much because they have the details covered. All they ask is you take off your shoes inside bc there’s a clean carpet throughout the non-kitchen/bathroom premises. We appreciated the cleanliness!

House is located within a neighborhood but being on the property felt like being out in the woods with no neighbors--a great relaxing spot, very quiet. Yet, it was close enough to the Idyllwild shops and restaurants.

Everything was perfect and clean
My Wife and I we really enjoyed our visit and we want to come back

We’ve been here one time before and came back because we love the town of Idyllwild and we love that this house backs up to a state forest. We didn’t have to drive to the Nature Center with the kids — we hiked! The house is comfortable and warm, which was perfect when a winter storm rolled through town.
