Idyllwild Mountain Retreat
Year Purchased: 2004
The Unique Benefits at this Cabin
I love staying in Idyllwild. It is so peaceful at our cabin where everything slows down and there is so much time for reflection. We love to go for local hikes, enjoy relaxing meals or just stay at home and be in the peace and quiet and read a great book. We are on a quiet street where there is no foot or auto traffic.

Rosanna, Thank you for a lovely weekend at the cabin and for allowing us a late checkout on Sunday. We had a wonderful time, and the cabin was excellently appointed. The view was splendid, the fire was warm, and there was a healthy variety of movies and music. I will be back again soon! Sincerely, John

"Rosanna, My family had a blast at your cabin. We will definitely be back again (probably summer time). I have to say, of all the cabins I ever rented, your place is the best! It had so many bells and whistles, amenities and what not, I felt like I never left home. Thanks for opening up your mountain home to us. "
