We stayed for two week (including tropical storm Hilary) and absolutely enjoyed it. The house is just at the rim of a forest. We saw a bobcat walking up to the house twice. Squirrels and birds were present every day. Nature pure. The house is cozy and extremely well equipped to the detail. The top entrance area has two living room areas. One with a large, cozy L-shaped couch and a modern TV. The other area has a leather couch, cozy chairs and a fire place. The kitchen is very well equipped. We cook a lot and did not miss a thing. The dining area has a large table. The deck is very spacious and on the tree canopy level. You really feel like being in the woods. The small tables and chairs are perfect to find different spots with shade during the day. The hot tub is also on the deck. We used it almost daily. The lower area has the three sleeping rooms that are nice cold during summer. Given the previous reviews we worried about the hard mattresses and pre-contacted the owner. He was so nice and replaced them. I can attest that the new mattresses are not too hard, not too soft. Perfect! There are two bathrooms. The one in the upper level is spacious with a large shower and two sinks. The lower one is smaller, has a shower/bathtub, and two doors that connect to the master bedroom and the floor. There is plenty of towels, hand soap, toilet paper. The owner is super responsive (almost instantaneously) and takes good care of his visitors. We definitely want to return!

The house was very nice. The lighting inside was a little interesting and sparse. The beds were very hard but we enjoyed how the house was tucked away in the area. Appreciated they accommodated two dogs. Owners were very responsive.

We had a lovely time, at a lovely location! The beds were a little harder than we would have liked but the couches were incredibly comfortable! The hot tub was nice, the space was fantastic and functional, and the kitchen was fully stocked and ready for daily use. We would totally go back again!

Was in town for a Musical Benefit for a friend in Idyllwild. Furnishings were nice. The mattress in the master is very firm but other than that our stay was great!! (I’m kind of picky about mattresses)

This cabin was perfect for a girlfriends' getaway! David communicated everything we needed to know and was prompt in responding to our messages. The house was clean on arrival, and well stocked with everything we needed for cooking, relaxing, and entertainment. The decks are huge and you could choose either to be in the sun or shade at various times of the day. As others have noted, the beds are hard - and I mean harder than any bed I have ever tried - but we still slept well. The teal couch is super squishy and huge if you can't handle the mattress. The location was quiet and secluded, and many squirrels and birds keep you entertained. Thanks for the suggestion to visit the raccoon rescue - it was a hit!

Two friends and I visited Idyllwild for the first time and stayed at the Pine Cove property. We appreciate how attentive the owner, David was. He kept one step ahead in updating us on weather conditions, the need for chains, etc. The house and location were wonderful. The town has many cute shops and great restaurants. We look forward to visiting again.

Overall we had a nice relaxing get away here. Would stay again.

We genuinely enjoyed our time here at Raccoon Ridge. David was a fantastic host- very responsive to all questions before and during our time. It was clean, spacious, and offered great amenities. The hot tub was our family’s favorite! We thought the location was perfect, just a few miles drive into the heart of town. Coming from San Diego, we prefer to have a sense of privacy and not be able to hear neighbors. This location was just right for that! Felt very peaceful. Would book again!

Completely met our expectations! Easy check in and out and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay.

Great property, loved all the amenities the beds were too hard.

Just what we were hoping for…we only left once over our two days because it was the perfect spot to get away. Sitting on the deck for morning coffee and afternoon happy hour found us surrounded by a wide variety of trees in a very private back yard (except for the fun to watch squirrels). We brought our own food and found the kitchen very well equipped with all we needed. We left refueled and refreshed. David was super quick to respond to our handful of questions about the hot tub (those stars at night!). We loved every minute at the Hot Tub Hideaway and will definitely be back (unless we want to check out his other property…)! Thanks for a great experience, start to finish!

Property needs a little TLC. front and back patio decks needed a lot of sweeping, which I did. Empty drink can left on floor in living room. Indicating poor housekeeping prior to check in. Home advertised as having TV which is accurate. However, unless you already had HBO, Amazon Prime, Hulu, etc, outa luck. No normal channels. Nice big bathroom upstairs away from MBR or other bedrooms. Hot tub was great, owner very accommodating and nice. Bed in MBR very hard. Very uncomfortable.
