Came up for the weekend and absolutely loved our Serenity experience. The blue jays and squirrels kept us company. We enjoyed town, our quiet spiritual reading time, our walks, and our movies. Ya, no football this trip. Thank you, thank you, thank you for this precious getaway treasure.

Serenity Cabin is a blessing. Thank you for sharing. It was our 5th time in this wonderful place. It was also our first wedding anniversary. What a place to spend the end of the best year of my Life!

Of the many places we've stayed in Idyllwild, this is the best. My husband and I love hiking and we love being so close to Humber Park and the trails. Thanks for sharing your cabin.

We came to So. Calif. to attend a Hemet wedding and chose Idyllwild as our "base." So glad we did! My 93 year old mother was with us and adored the cabin and the area.

Nice to be back in the solitude of Idyllwild and a relaxing long weekend in such a cozy cabin. Even got to Idyllwild Park to see the pictographs and mortar holes.

My husband and I rented the Serenity cabin for a 4 day weekend. The cabin was a single level 2 bedroom accomodation. My husband is legally blind and the layout of the cabin made it very easy for him to navigate. Beyond that, the cabin was very comfortably furnished with quaint decor and lots of attention to detail. Two large sculptures in the backyard added to the woodsy ambiance. The kitchen was well equipted. The Quiet Creek crew made sure it was exceptionally clean before our visit. Actually, this was our third cabin rental from Quiet Creek and all of our experiences with them have been very positive.

Hi Kathy, I've been meaning to email you all week but got so busy back here in San Diego-wish we were still relaxing at Serenity Cabin! I wanted to send you a personal note as well. We had a wonderful time in Idyllwild. You cabin was perfect for us. After talking with Jim before we left SD, he recommended it as the best for our family and he was absolutely right. Our kids are 3 and 5 and had been hoping for snow all week before we left and were delighted with the beautiful snow storm we had. They played and played for hours. I couldn't get them inside all day and it was so hard to leave on Sunday. We used the sleds and built snowmen in the back yard. This was their first time in a real snow storm and they are still talking about it. They made good use of the kids books in the cabin and our son was so excited you had the 3rd Harry Potter to watch-he's only seen the first 2 and has been begging us for the next one. My 3rd child(aka husband) had so much fun as well. He used to spend summers at the music camp and was thrilled to play in the snow-so much so he cracked the toboggan. Sorry! :( We bought a new one and left it in the back so the next guests could have as much fun as we did. Well, we definitely did appreciate Serenity Cabin. Everything we needed was there! Thank you again. I took lots of pictures of your cabin in the snow and the surrounding area if you want any of them for advertising, etc. I will send you a link if you want them. I had to send you just one of a couple happy faces in front of your cabin. Thank you again-we hope to be back soon!

Thank you for providing such wonderful accomodations and for responding so quickly to the broken heater. We enjoyed our stay despite the unexpected snow storm and subsequent icy roads which kept us from going into town. Thankfully, your cabin is stocked with games, movies and firewood!

We loved your decor. The little one loved the carved bear and racoons outside, and all the fun squirrels. A very cozy cabin, with everything we needed. We will come back to enjoy another season.

We had a great 5 day stay at your cabin with all my children. It was a good getaway for me after working the whole year. We'll come back again in the winter.

What a wonderful place! This was our first visit to Idyllwild and we have fallen in love. We were so fortunate to be able to enjoy your cabin, it is so restful. I loved the early mornings on deck with the clear blue skies, pines, birds and my favorite fluffy-tailed friends. What a joy! We hope to be back again soon.

Happy Valentines to you. It was a wonderful weekend for us - lots of snow, time to relax and enjoy Idyllwild. This was the 4th time we have stayed at your cabin, Serenity. It truly is that for us. Now, we are engaged! But..before our wedding we will be back here, surrounded by the positive energy we get from this place.

We had our best family vacation EVER. Your cabin was so lovely that the kids couldn't wait to finish sledding, just to spend time inside its warm walls. The conditions were perfect - it snowed the day before we got here, and we found the greatest, longest sledding path right in our backyard. This was the first time our kids have seen snow. Thank you for letting us use your cabin to create a wonderful, memorable family vacation.

Drove up in a rain and hail downpour! We ran inside to the warm and cosy welcome of your cabin. Thank you for sharing this treasure. We attended the Town Hall pig roast (yummy) and meandered through the village. We hiked and enjoyed lunch and views of Lily Rock on the deck. Great visit - we will be back.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the lovely, cozy Serenity Cabin -- definitely earned its title. We especially appreciated all the homey touches you've added and the well-equipped kitchen. The bear and racoon carvings off the back deck are so delightful!

This is our second visit to your "Serenity." Brian and I couldn't choose a better place to be after our intense 4 days training in Palm Springs. Thanks again and we will be back soon.

Such Serenity! This was the perfect getaway for us. Frantastic weather. Amazing blue skies and stars at night. We hiked Deer Springs Trail to Suicide Rock and then just rested and relaxed. Lots of time out on deck. You had so much information to help us explore the Idyllwild area. We enjoyed a delicious dinner at the Gastronome. Thanks so much for sharing this place. It was so special.

We come to stay at your cabin at least once a year and more, if possible. Serenity has been a second home for our boys. As always, we had a fun and relaxing time. We are grateful to have such a beautiful place to come to and enjoy. Thank you!

Just to say a few words about our Christmas weekend.."It was GREAT!" Thank you for putting on the holiday touches. This is a weekend that will live with us forever. The people here are so friendly and helped us to get the real spirit of Christmas. God Bless. P.S. - We would love to come back and make this an annual tradition.

We drove up from Encino for a spur of the moment mini-getaway - so desperately needed! When we pulled up, we couldn't belive what a beautiful and welcoming cabin we were going to stay in. Yes, we hugged a tree! We took a walk up the street and played by the stream. Also sat by the fireplace. Your cabin is so warm and inviting that we can't wait to come back again for a longer visit.

Thank you for sharing your little piece of heaven called "Serenity." We have thoroughly enjoyed our weekend here - hiking, eating, playing games and listening to the wild and stormy weather whilst snug and warm in Serenity. We had a wonderful time watching the flames in the fireplace, making smores, and drinking hot chocolate as the rain and hair and wind whistled around the house. Thanks again for a relaxing time away from the "rat race."

A weekend to remember - art, and abundance of wine tasting and time spent with friends in such a serene setting. What a wonderful place to stay. I look forward to being up here again.
