About this property

IdyllAway Vintage Cabin - Kid Friendly Sledding Cul-de-Sac!

IdyllAway is a 1946 vintage cabin on a quiet cul-de-sac. The rare covered front porch is ideal for relaxing and taking in the serene surroundings. The tree shaded deck is a few steps down from the cabin. Just a few blocks from the wonderful Ernie Maxwell trail, and less than a mile to town.

We are on a short gravel road, just off a paved road. There is no through traffic, which means it is very safe for kids to play in front of the house and the surrounding area.

THE SPACE
Large open living room and dining area with a beautiful heavy oak table for family dining. Unique vintage stove and original hardware adorn the kitchen. There is a forest themed cubby off the Living room with a double bed that is perfect for a couple kids. High quality linens and Leesa beds in the bedrooms.

Fast 500Mbs WiFi.

There is a large screen TV with sound bar, Netflix, Amazon Prime, and News channels. Coffee and tea is provided (we have K-cups, coffee grinder, and a French Press).

$50 pet fee per week or portion thereof.

Other things to note:
Our little road is not plowed in the winter. As noted in the house rules, during snow days you may have to park at the top of the road, and walk about 100 feet to the cabin. There is one space cleared for you on the main road, so if you have two vehicles, you may have to park the other one down the road a bit.

Like many cabins on septic in Idyllwild, there is no garbage disposal.

There is one window AC unit in the Living Room (summer only).

This is a cabin, there is a fireplace, and it is used. We do our best to clean it out between guests but it is not perfect. There may be a slight smell of fireplace when you arrive.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

A relaxing getaway in a charming cabin! We enjoyed staying here, as it had everything we needed and more. The deck was great to sit and listen to the birds while having morning coffee. The location was nice and close to town, in a super quiet neighborhood. Only wish we could’ve stayed longer, but there’s always next time! Thank you very much!

This is such a great cabin and as it states, perfect for a family. It has a great mixture of classic and modern tech for a place like that. My family loved being there, the 4 year old and 1 year old were comfortable in their rooms when it came time for rest and outside is best for them to run around in a quiet and safe area. Such a great spot!

Restful Getaway

We had a wonderful stay at this property! It was exactly as described online—super clean, comfortable, and perfect for our family, including our 18-month-old and dog. Everything was well-maintained, with all electronics working perfectly, and the mattresses were incredibly comfortable, ensuring a restful stay. We’d highly recommend this property and would love to stay again!

The IdyllAway Cabin was Ideal

My daughter and I stayed there while she attended a summer program at Idyllwild Arts Academy. The cabin was great and the descriptions are accurate. We plan to stay there again next summer as well. Thanks

About the host

Hosted by John and Lara

Host profile image
John grew up going to Idyllwild as a child. His parents enrolled him and his siblings at ISOMATA (Idyllwild School of Music and the Arts—now Idyllwild Arts Academy), where they learned photography, ceramics, and dance. When John brought Lara to Idyllwild for the first time, she loved it so much that on her third visit, she owned this cabin. Lara's dad, a retired horticulturist, also finds solitude among the trees. They spend their free time (when not working on the cabin ;-) hiking and climbing the beautiful local mountains.
