Great, spacious cabin right off the main drive

This is a great 2+ bedroom cabin off of the main drive, and far enough away to feel in the woods. 2 rooms, 2 full bathrooms and a small den that can serve as a separate sleeping area. Will definitely consider staying here again with family.

Nice Cozy Cabin

Was a nice cozy get away. Super close to town and was walkable. Very peaceful and quiet for the 4th of July. Just what we wanted. Definitely recommend to others and would stay there again.

Perfect location!

The cabin is perfectly located a short walk to town and a short drive to great hiking (~10min to Devil's Slide and the South entrance of Ernie Maxwell). The layout was great for a family of 2 adults and 2 kids. There are minor inconveniences (had trouble turning on/off the lights) but it was the perfect upgrade from car camping that we were looking for.

Lovely stay

Loved this cabin, pictures do not do it justice. Had everything we needed for a weekend trip to the snow. Litteraly 1 min or less from town. Cozy and warm. Would definitely recommend this cabin for your trip to Idyllwild! Also the host was great at communicating and super sweet.

Perfect family getaway

We booked our vacation just week before to be able to join our family Easter ceelbrarion and it was just perfect. Emma contacted us right away approving our stay and allowing our dog. Everything was easy, arrival, location, cleanness and with the snow fall we got it was perfect to spend quality time with our family of 5. We would certainly reach out if we return to Idllewild. Thank you

Weekend Mother Daughter Trip

Place was in a great location, Just a few things that could have made the trip better. Some of the heaters in the house didn't work. All Mattress in the room with the bunkbed could use an update. Limited kitchen stuff, if you think you are going to need it bring it. Getting to the front door on the dirt road driveway in the rain and snow is a challenge! It is very rocky and lots of large puddles, no actual walkway. Thanks for our stay!
