There were cobwebs all over the inside and outside of the property. Big black ants in the kitchen and near the rear door. We found a dirty sock on a couch behind a pillow. The outside furniture is dirty and dusty- we had to clean it to use it. The cooking pans are lacking too. The backyard is steep and not fenced for dogs. Also, there are a lot of stairs to get to the house so carrying items into the cabin is very difficult- thank goodness we have teenagers. The bedroom at the top does not have blinds so the sun shines right through. We made the best of it and had a good time but we would not rent this cabin again.

It’s a long, windy road uphill getting there, but the views are spectacular. Big deck is great - we spent a lot of time there. Wood stove in the main room heats things up in the chilly evenings and mornings. Homey and comfortable.

Great home in the mountains, but not recommend for anyone who can’t do stairs well.

Lovely property. The location is isolated, especially relative to the other properties around it. The top deck is nestled among the pines and you can watch birds and squirrels during the day, or watch the bats collect bugs at night. The spacious property allowed for plenty of room to enjoy. Very clean, and the kitchen was well equipped. AC/heating worked well. We had a lovely stay and hope to be back.

Great location, close to Idyllwild and some awesome scenery.

The cabin was beautiful and well-kept. Some of the TVs and game consoles were inoperable but there were plenty of board games to keep the kids busy. We enjoyed our quiet getaway in this spacious cabin!

Very private and spacious. A lovely weekend getaway from the city. Would definitely revisit.

We had a great time in Idyllwild staying at this cabin in the woods. It was a very quiet spot and the best feature is the balcony where we sat and watched birds, butterflies, and other wildlife in the beautiful trees and after the sunsets, bats and the clear nigh full of stars. Kitchen was very functional, did lots of cooking. Tons of space for the four of us with two dogs. It was over 90 degrees during the day so it was a warm weekend. Enjoyed our stay very much overall! Would love to return during the colder winter months. Some windows could use some screens and the door to the balcony could use a more permanent screen.

The cabin had it's ups and downs, and in retrospect it met most of our needs. Just a few things to point out:

I paid an expensive "cleaning fee" and the cabin was not exactly clean. Fingerprints over a lot of the stuff in kitchen and bathroom. There were sewing pins literally sticking up out of the carpet for some reason (thankfully we noticed before stepping on them). The deck looked like it had some kind of insecticide sprayed all over the furniture so we avoided that.

The internet did not work at all. I am very familiar with home networks and attempted to troubleshoot. No combination of resetting or rearranging of cables helped.

The deck actually overlooks a cul de sac, not forest as some of the picture indicate. There was a large group renting an adjacent home for some kind of filming, we could hear them loudly for a lot of our stay.

...It's a funky little cabin. Could easily sleep 12+ people comfortably. I might consider another visit if I have a big group. But as a way to wind down a vacation with my GF, it was not ideal.

we loved the feeling that the cabin was up in the trees. There is 43 stairs from the top of the driveway to the fridge & kitchen on the second floor. Great kitchen except the Fluorescent lights didn't work, they flickered plus the wiring to them was exposed, not to code. Driveway is waaay steeper than the picture shows. Burned rubber getting up it. The window & door screens were either torn or ready to fall off. This made it difficult to cool the cabin down as the afternoon sun heats the 2nd & 3rd floors. Cant ventilate cooler air through torn screen or mosquitos get in. 1st floor tub drained so slow stood in 4 inches of water during shower. Tried to call number in household info folder. Left message but no one called back. Great place, I actually loved it, even with the above problems. Make sure those problems are repaired before you rent it. Oh, and i found a short trail up the road past the dead end. Fun to explore.

Great location just outside the town of Idyllwild. Beautiful views from every room and the expansive deck. Home sleeps 6-7 comfortably. Kitchen has ample storage, pot/pans and gas stove. Close to numerous hiking trails and Lake Hemet. Sunsets were unbelievable!

The house is spacious and quite comfortable, with one bedroom on each floor. The kitchen is very well-equipped, and there are lots of extra towels and blankets. It’s in a nice neighborhood, with downtown Idyllwild a short drive away. The main deck is a nice place to relax, but the outdoor furniture had not been wiped down in quite a while. (The table, in particular, was very dirty.) Also, guests are required to take away their trash at the end of the stay, which means driving about 15 minutes south to the dump, open just half the week, or taking it down the mountain. It seems like this is something the management company should take care of, given all the extra fees that are charged.

Everything you could need. We had an incredible white Christmas together at this beautiful spot. Tips; buy ample firewood for the living room fireplace/wood burning stove. We went through about 3/4 bundles a day to enjoy a roaring fire/ stay cozy throughout.

The downstairs gas fireplace is not available for use.

10/10 recommend!
