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.

Great cabin! Kids had a blast with all the short hikes available to us.

Great cabin, location, and property

Had a great time with family!! Very peaceful getaway!! Michael was very attentive and a wonderful host!! I can’t wait to come back!! Thank you for your amazing hospitality!!

Great place for a getaway with old friends

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.
