About this cabin rental
Our cabin is the perfect pet-friendly getaway with new central air conditioning. The open A-Frame cabin is tucked away on a quiet street yet is just minutes away from the picturesque shops and restaurants in the center of town. Humber Park trailhead is within walking distance of the cabin providing easy access to the Ernie Maxwell and Devils Slide trails. Strawberry Creek runs through the back yard creating a peaceful atmosphere and a lovely sensory experience when the creek is running.
The space
Inside you will find high ceilings and windows that show off the beautiful scenery and create plenty of light. The downstairs features open architecture that A-frame cabins are known for and include a gas stove, chef’s kitchen, and wine fridge for making unforgettable meals. Our favorite spot in the cabin is a cozy reading nook that sits next to the wood-burning fireplace and looks out onto the creek. You’ll often see deer outside sipping from the creek or running through the snow.
The Outside offers a spacious fenced-in deck off the kitchen with a natural gas Weber BBQ, and a large table for entertaining and enjoying alfresco dining. The deck is the perfect spot to enjoy the scenery and the quiet of the surrounding woods with views of both the creek and the mountains in the distance.

Highly recommended. The house was as described. Very clean, comfortable. Communication was great.
4.0
This location is beautiful and close to town. The host was so accommodating and responsive. He solved any issues we had and was really nice. The only bummer was the cleanliness. It sounds like it was an anomaly because it was a one time different cleaning crew. There were dishes in the dishwasher, bedding and towels in the dryer, dead bugs everywhere, and the door was filthy and made our feet black. Thankfully the host sent their normal cleaning lady and she mopped. But I had to put stuff away and wipe up bugs on vacation! But overall it was a great place and nice hosts.

Spider webs inside and outside. There were a disappointing amount of spider webs in and out of the property. Checkout Instructions were detailed. Strip the beds of all linens, wash all used towels, and take any extra trash to the dump 10 minutes away. We did not have extra garbage bags, the pantry did not include amenities such as coffee, ketchup, or syrup.
The outside was disappointing cared for. We could not use the hammock swings on the front porch due to an overwhelming amount of spiders. Had to sweep out the back patio and table to use the space.
The property seems to be only cleaned inside and the upper rafters were also full of spiders.
The property is as advertised but the outdoors is not kept up. All of the windows had several webs in each window sill.
We are aware of the rural location but the property was obviously not kept up when it comes to cleaning the webs in and out the house.

We stayed here over a weekend to spend time with family and to be close to Idyllwild Arts for a camp pick-up. The house was gorgeous and a great fit for our family. It was nice to be a quick drive into the village and up to Humber Park. The house location is wonderful with views of Suicide Rock and Tahquitz Rock from the front and the beautiful babbling Strawberry Creek in the back. Also, Alex was very responsive with a couple of minor issues we had.

Peaceful cabin in Idyllwild with all the amenities. We loved having the A/C as it was a warm weekend. Thanks Alex!

We so enjoyed our stay! The layout was very spacious - loved being on the deck listening to the creek running by. Overall a great time and place.

This property was the perfect winter escape we were looking for. Excellent upgrades through the house and excellent views of the creek running behind the house. There was enough room in the back for a little sledding and there were some great areas to hike nearby. When heading back into the area we will definitely be looking for this listing again.

Loved the creek right behind the property. The house was clean and perfect for a family of four. Less than 5 minute drive to town. Beautiful property. Would absolutely recommend and stay there again.

Great house, close to downtown, as advertised. Very quiet location. Pictures are 100% accurate..

The cabin was exactly as shown in the listing. We had tons of fun playing in the snow and exploring the town and hanging out in the great room. Because we were coming in and out from the snow, there did not seem to be enough tour mats and rugs for us to clean our feet on. Also, we felt the kitchen was severely under stocked. Pots and pans desperately need to be replaced, and basic items like a can opener were missing.
5.0
Our weekend getaway at the Strawberry Creek Retreat couldn't have been more perfect for our family with kids and a dog. Stepping into the cabin instantly exceeded my expectations. The open-concept design was great and was easy to keep an eye on all the kiddos. Plus the breathtaking snow and creek view was a great bonus. It was also a nice surprise that the two bedrooms and loft area, all had full size bathrooms. The hosts were amazing answering all our questions and making my family feel more than welcomed. Would definitely come again!

It was exactly what we were looking for and the listing was accurate and helpful. The loft was fun for the kids and the view out the back windows was as good as we were hoping it would be. We would stay here again.

We're a family of 5 with three children under 12. We all had a wonderful time staying at Strawberry Creek Retreat! It was clean, spacious, and bright with many amenities that we enjoyed. While it's not in walking distance of town, we don't mind the very short drive to get there, and it's in a quiet and pleasant neighborhood. The beds were all very comfortable and my kids enjoyed sleeping upstairs in the loft. The owners were extremely responsive and friendly. Highly recommended!

A gorgeous cabin fully furnished and stacked with all of the essentials and extra amenities like books, games, Blue tooth speaker, and a record player. Open view from the windows faces the creek and the trees. It has two full-sized beds and a twin-sized bed on the open loft upstairs, a king-sized bed in the master bedroom downstairs and a queen-sized bed in the other bedroom downstairs. A balcony with a table, chairs and barbecue grill outside the kitchen facing the creek and trees. A TV in the living room and a TV in the master bedroom allowed streaming of all of the shows and movies. It had a washer, dryer, dishwasher, microwave, stove, beer fridge and several coffee makers. A TESLA destination charger 0.4 mile away. A five to ten minute drive to downtown, but far enough to be quiet. There was a neighboring cabin on both sides and another cabin over the small creek and trees behind. Very quiet. It had everything you need to cook and bake. You open the door via a code. Free wi-fi. We stayed here for hubby’s birthday with two kids. Clean, gorgeous and convenient. The manager was in constant contact with us in case we needed anything. We will stay here again when we return to Idyllwild.

The cabin was perfect for family of 6. Beautiful, spacious and serene. Nighttime stars gazing is amazing. Small Strawberry 🍓 Creek right in the back yard. Just enough for the little ones to enjoy.
Great memories made that we will cherish forever

Between the soothing sounds of Strawberry Creek, and the views of Taquitz Peak, what’s not to like? The home was as described and suited our group’s needs perfectly. The Fern Vally area is simply a magical place. Would definitely return. Thanks for the hospitality.

Lovely weekend in Idyllwild with family. Great home, we were 3 adults. Very roomy home. Beautiful scenery! A water creek runs through the back of the home, the sound of the water is breathtaking. Idyllwild has grown, we had visited 7 years ago when our Son went to Astrocamp for 4 years in a row, but we never actually stayed in Idyllwild. We highly recommend it! Spring is just beautiful. Great home, we will definitely comeback.

Cottage is cozy, well appointed and clean. Loft (of course) is completely open, so put your heavy sleepers up there. The deck and view and SOUND of the stream (at least in April) was incredible. It was warm enough to sit & read out there in the afternoon. Come for that alone! We loved our stay.
5.0
We went during the last week of March. This location was truly magical the views that this place offers feels unreal especially while there is snow falling. You see deer walking by while you’re eating breakfast. I felt like I was in a whole other world. The host was super attentive and checked in with us to make sure we were okay with anything, I loved that they recommend nearby areas to eat or to go have fun, that was a first. It’s super cute that they gift you a custom made coffee mug to take home. This place totally went above and beyond and exceeded all of my expectations. The huge bathtub was so amazing. I will definitely be back to this exact cabin to enjoy more good times

This cabin was perfect for a short getaway for the 4 of us. Because of crazy weather, we had to shorten our stay….but we will definitely come back. The owner was so responsive and very thoughtful. Thank you!

The cabin was absolutely beautiful! It was clean, modern, and cozy. The kids had a blast staying in the loft. Grandma was happy having all the comforts of home. The views from the cabin were extraordinary! Perfect location- close to town and hiking trails. Our only regret was not staying longer!
We will definitely book again. Thanks Alex!
