Cannot recommend enough. Stayed for ~three weeks and it was wonderful the entire time. Very peaceful.

I took xtra supplies such as cooking essential..games..paper supplies etc..but , i didnt need anything I took. Suzanne had everything we needed this was a well supplied home..and Suzanne was great I had no problem getting in touch with..I will be back for sure...COOL

My family loved this home with all the necessities to make our stay enjoyable and comfortable. It was spacious, homey and we loved the wrap-around balcony. We did encounter an unexpected snow event, that created challenges getting up/down the hill after hours of heavy snowfall. Suzanne was incredible a helpful, along with her local network who was able to provide snow shoveling and an escort in his 4X4 vehicle which allowed us to reconnect with our car left down the hill, unable to make it back up due to all that snow. We recommend this home, but if here in a major winter event I would recommend having snow tires or a 4X4 vehicle. Our car had neither. We do plan to stay again in the summer where the chance of is snow less possible! My thanks to Suzanne & Hector for the excellent communication and assistance.

Beautiful mountain retreat. The home was cozy, clean, and well organized. The home was well appointed with linens, dishes, and cookware. We enjoyed the deck when the weather was nice and enjoyed hunkering down inside when we got snowed in. The home and hostess were amazing.

Had a great stay. Lovely location, private and quiet. Really nice spaces inside and a comfortable bed. Easy check-in and check-out. A+.

Property is located in beautiful secluded woodsy area. Soon after arrival, we had a light snow which was perfect. The home was clean and well-designed with good amenities. My only complaint, and this perhaps would not be a negative to some people, is that the only cable news channel available is FOX NEWS, the Trump lie-machine!.

The property was lovely, comfortable and in an beautiful and quiet hilltop location. I can't say enough about our gracious hosts, Suzanne and Phil, and their attention to every detail designed to make our stay relaxing, our check-in hassle-free. Their "handbook" for the house made us feel right at home with every appliance and switch in the house. We will certainly be back!

We stayed three nights in February, although it didn't snow during our stay the girls had so much fun in the remaining snow around the house which lasted the whole stay. House is comfortable and quiet with everything you need you need to make meals and watch movies.

Suzanne was great and communicated quickly. The property is beautiful. I will agree with Suzanne, which I don’t remember seeing in the description, and that is when the weather is bad, you need an all-wheel-drive vehicle to get to the elevated property.

The house is beautiful and cozy - a great place to spend a long weekend!

Comfy home, all necessities, perfect spot.

We had the very best time! Everything was so clean and there were so many kitchen appliances to use. We managed to make a delicious pot roast in the crockpot. Unexpectedly, it snowed. Suzanne was kind enough to send someone to shovel the stairs and driveway for us. We have found our home away from home!

Enjoyed the entire stay

This is a lovely home in a beautiful neighborhood with beautiful view and wrap around deck. The home layout is perfect for a family. It is also pet friendly which was very important to us as we have never left the dogs or kids in the care of others. The village is quaint & very lively. Pizza place is very good, but very busy. The location was perfect. Highly recommend. Thank you.

Overall we are very satisfied with our stay. I had to contact Suzanne, the owner, several times due to my own fault, yet she has been very patient and helpful to me. The bathrooms were very clean. The kitchen had almost everything we need. This is our first time to this area. The downtown of Idyllwild is small. There are not many stores compared to Lake Arrowhead or Big Bear. But we walked around, took some photos and came back to the cabin resting, chatting, cooking together. We felt comfortable and relaxed staying warm inside when it was raining and cold outside. We found out there are many painted deer scattered around the town. They are very beautiful and colorful. It is fun to locate them and take photos with them. The reception of cell phone there was excellent too.

I loved the house/cabin. Everything was perfect. So wonderfully quiet and close to everything. Getting to Ernie Maxwell trail from the wash up the road was treacherous and I would not recommend unless you have really good balance and experience walking up extremely steep sandy hills. However. once you get the the top, the Ernie Maxwell trail is easy when going to the right and really beautiful. I loved it. I went to the end and walked back to cabin on streets which was really great too. The houses along the way are fantastic.

This rental is about as perfect as a rental can be. The location (up in the hills a bit) was beautiful, quiet, and, even though there were residences a 100 or so feet away, the place felt secluded. Inside, the place was immaculate, the heating system worked wonderfully, and the hot water was actually hot! (I really dislike rental that keep the water temp down in order to save a few buck). The main room was well lit with proper lighting. The kitchen was well stocked with basic essentials. The only thing to be beware of is that there are stairs to get to the house that might be difficult for those with walking problems. The town is a little over a mile away which is just right for those that like to take walks (but the way back to the house is all uphill!!). The only down rating I would give this house is the TV...in this age of large screens the TV seemed small and, unfortunately, this model had poor sound quality. Thus, this place was 99.44% perfect...it's hard to get better than that!

We made a return visit to this wonderful Idyllwild cabin for a brief two-night getaway with another couple. It felt like coming home as this cabin is so warm and extremely functional. The setting is so beautiful with trees surrounding the property which gives it plenty of privacy. As always, the place I was extremely clean and had everything we needed. We just love this place!!!

This is our second year staying at Suzanne's home. The house is so cozy and the perfect size for my husband and I and our dog. We love that an entrance to the Ernie Maxwell trail is just up the street. We also love that the drive into town is short. We spent time hiking, walking around the shops and visiting the brewery and the winery. Middle Ridge Winery had live music on the weekend which was great. The restaurants have outside seating so we can take our dog - and heaters. Suzanne is great and always quick to respond. Can't wait to come back!

Peaceful, great location, all necessities we needed.

We wanted Celebrating our 25th Anniversary to be special. So, we booked a cabin in the Idyllwild area where we could enjoy US! The cabin was spacious and yet cozy. Surrounded by an outside deck that let us appreciate the trees, the birds, squirrels, rabbits and FRESH FRESH AIR!! The mattresses in the bedrooms were excellent. Allowing for a good nights rest before taking off to the trails. Situated just driving minutes from downtown Idyllwild made for convenient walks around the shops. Suzanne was a pleasant and friendly host. She has the cabin set up with everything needed in the kitchen and throughout making life EZ. Considering that the cost to rent the entire cabin was about 1/2 of a good hotel room in the hustle and bustle of San Diego, I believe we made the right choice. We will be returning!

This was such a great place to getaway and unwind. Thank you Suzanne for the communication and being such a great host! The property had everything you could need. We loved our stay and plan to come back soon.

Our host was wonderful to communicate with!

Everything was great for a quick getaway to the mountains! The cabin was clean and ready early for check in. We loved hanging out on the deck and watching the wildlife. The kitchen had everything for us to stay in and cook, and Suzanne even gave us some great recommendations for live music in town…would definitely stay again

This property is so nicely appointed. Everything a visitor could need or want from Adirondack chairs on the deck to night lights. Very clean and comfortable. The sunset views were great. Exactly what we wanted in a mountain getaway.

The cabin was MORE than expected it has a cowboy theme decor (which is a family favorite!!) Beautiful and modern furniture and appliances Plenty of space for a group of 4 (but im sure 6 could stay comfortably) If you love being on the mountain watching animals from the deck YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED =) Beautiful birds, squirrels, one morning A Deer =) Just a relaxing feeling , both bedrooms where VERY COMFORTABLE each had a different theme in its own way still cowboy but unique wrought iron fixtures (one was Owls the other was Wolf ) And if i needed to contact the owner for any reason i had no trouble not only contacting her But with a quick solution solving what ever problem Nothing major so dont worry We didn't want to leave !!!! =) I have so much more to say but i know you need to come up and experience its relaxing beauty for yourselves IT IS A BEAUTIFUL CABIN AND WE ARE DEFINITELY COMING BACK !!!!! =)

We had a wonderful stay in this beautiful home, with total privacy in the midst of huge old oaks and manzanitas. The owner was extremely helpful and gracious, and the home was perfect in every way. Relaxing on the deck in the shade of the oaks, watching the squirrels and birds, was a delight. Don’t miss the nearby Ernie Maxwell Scenic Trail, it’s as refreshing and scenic as anywhere in California. Highly recommend!

Property was SUPER clean. Suzanne was very easy to work with. Plenty of necessary supplies and a quiet neighborhood. One of the best rentals I have ever booked.

Our first trip to Idylwild turned out to be one of the most relaxing experiences of our lives thanks to this lovely home perched high above it all!! It’s location is ideal, with a view toward the sunset and a short, steep scramble to the Ernie Maxwell Trail. It has a large private deck under beautiful trees that house a multitude of birds and squirrels. (Bring some Black Oil Sunflower Seed bird mix and unsalted peanuts to make new friends!) The home itself has huge windows oriented to the best views and comfortable furnishings. It is fully stocked, charmingly decorated and keep very clean. The plush bedding will lull you to sleep as a bajillion stars shine outside. The owner, Suzanne, communicates quickly and was accommodating to our special requests. We really appreciate her tranquil getaway and look forward to returning again. Thanks Suzanne! ProTip: If your schedule is flexible, check the availability calendar for midweek and last minute deals!

We always have a peaceful time at this home. It is clean and quiet. You can't beat it. We have stayed at this home many times and always look forward to the return visit. The owner seems to improve this home yearly, new dishes and now Roses on the coffee table. In idyllwild I do get tired of all the Italian restaurants but you can't beat The Red Kettle for breakfast.

Everything was great

A nicely appointed cabin - beautiful views and great deck area. Air conditioner was awesome. Quiet neighborhood. Comfy furniture in all rooms; very nice wall art throughout the house.
