Here Are A Few Kind Words From Our Previous Guests:
“One of the nicest places I have stayed. The all wood interior of the house was beautiful. The outdoor space was lovely, and the beds were 10/10. I will be back.” –Adam
“I had so much fun staying at Michelle’s cabin. It was up-to-date so I didn’t lose the discomfort of leaving modern living spaces, but also decorated and built to retain that woodsy cabin detail. From the Le Creuset cookware to new hot tub, I was so happy to see ingredients to a fun and cozy weekend. And the cherry on top, dog friendly! Don’t go anywhere else for an Idyllwild getaway Can’t recommend enough, looking forward to staying again! Thank you!” –Jon
“This cabin is a dream. Everything was impeccable, super clean, easy to access in with the codes. There is a printed manual also that helped with instructions for everything we guests could need. The property has different areas for entertainment. We got to use the barbecue section for delicious food. The occasion was a birthday and all the available casseroles, dishes, cooking pots and kitchen utensils made for a worry free cooking, yummy food, and beautiful setup. The couch is super comfortable and just the design of the house overall makes one to want to stay there and spend time enjoying the place. One can see everything is so well thought and designed with the enjoyment of the guests in mind. This time we visited there was no snow but the open design, glass ceilings made us feel deep and part of nature…feeling the sun as the sunrise came and woke us up in the morning. We definitely want to come back again and would recommend to all family and friends.” –Mahsan

Just wanted to share that we had an amazing time! The cabin is very close to the shops and restaurants. It was super clean, incredibly cozy, and felt like our home. It's genuinely equipped with everything we needed! Leaving was tough – we're definitely planning to come back.
This house is truly the nicest VRBO we ever rented! This house had everything you would ever need in a vacation rental. Top of the line amenities!! The kitchen was so incredible. The hot tub was clean and big. The view from the living room is breathtaking. The sofa is so comfortable and cozy! Also, great location to town. Craig did a great job with communication and questions! Great place to spend a birthday weekend with family! Will definitely come back!
My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. Every feature of this home has been carfully curated with intention. As the person in our family that does all the cooking, I especially enjoyed the flawless kitchen design. It was easy to find my way around and cook with ease. The seamless transition form kitchen to family room ensured that I was never missing out on the fun while cooking. This home was is well stocked beyond expectations, and we didn't want for anything. The extensive windows and skylights really integrate the nature that surrounds the home. I was awe struck just sitting with my cup of tea and enjoying the mountains and trees from the warmth of the couch. My husband and I took a dip in the hot tub on one of the days just before sunset; it was so peaceful. I am overjoyed that this is the property we spent our family retreat at and I eagerly look forward to our next stay there.
