The great deck situated among huge boulders and live oaks is beautiful. Rooms are generous and the cabin is close to charming Idyllwild. We would have appreciated knowing we would need our streaming passwords.
very cozy cabin, loved the decoration with cute trinkets, not far from the center of town, kitchen well supplied, variation of table games, had a great time during our stay
Our host was very welcoming and responsive. The place was well appointed and very clean. We appreciated the clear instructions on how to use the wood burning fireplace plus all the necessary supplies. Close enough to town for shopping and dining but far enough out to feel secluded.
The cabin was so clean. Every utensil you would need was available in the kitchen. The beds were very comfortable. The host was great at communicating with us for anything that we needed. It was a girls get away trip. We definitely be returning and stay more than 2 nights next visit. We couldn’t think of anything that was missing. There were games, books etc.
Larry (our host) represents his place perfectly. And it lives up to how it is represented and then some. We were very happy with the outdoors and many of his suggestions. Do yourself a favor, take your short drive to get out of the city you love in and visit Idyllwild. And
Great communication with owner . Everything was perfect . What a charming cabin and amazing deck . It was well appointed and stocked and we had no issues. I will definitely book this charming cabin again ! Thanks Larry ,we had a great time !!
Our family of 4 loved this cabin! It’s close to town but also very private and relaxing. The cabin is very cozy and clean. Our kids loved the books and games and it had everything we needed.
Nice cozy cabin with a wonderful deck, perfect for enjoying the great weather & beautiful scenery!The house is also well stocked with books & games in case of rain or if you just want to spend some time indoors.
Beautiful mountain cottage. Large outdoor deck with beautiful surroundings. Very well equipped and comfortable. Close to town and hiking trails. Would highly recommend.
We absolutely loved staying here for the weekend. Location is beautiful and quiet. Larry is excellent at communicating and is a superb host. We will definitely be staying here again!
