About this property

For Rent: Relaxation, Beauty, and Pine Trees

This Idyllwild bungalow is decorated in the style of the arts and crafts period. We like to call it 'The Stickley Cabin', after the famous maker of arts and craft style furniture.
It is in the Fern Valley section of Idyllwild, which means that it is lovely, close to town while feeling miles away.
The large yard means you'll feel a real sense of privacy and serenity.
Appropriate for 1 or 2 couples. Warm, inviting, calm. One bedroom, one large bath, a fireplace, two large decks, and dog friendly. There is a bonus room with a fold out bed.
We have a CD/record/tape player, and books. When we rent, we also provide a 'renter's handbook' with additional info about the cabin, the neighborhood, and local activities. We are always adding to this handbook to make it as informative and helpful as possible.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

We absolutely loved our stay. From the moment we walked in, we could feel how much intention, artistry, and love went into creating this space. The whole cabin has a warm early Arts & Crafts feel. Stickley furniture, a classic Morris chair, rich woodwork, and soft incandescent lighting that makes the entire home glow. Everything feels curated, not decorated. The whole cabin feels like one big reading nook. There are cozy spots to curl up, and even a functioning record player with records from the 1920s. There is a small TV, but we never used it, this is the kind of place that makes you want to disconnect. I took my book everywhere. The balcony seating, the side-porch picnic table, by the fireplace, on the sofa, the sun room. It’s truly a book lover’s dream. The heater worked perfectly and the old-style fireplace added the perfect mountain touch. The bedroom had a firm bed which I personally love. We brought our own pillows and blankets, but the cabin provides them as well. The bathroom was surprisingly large and had gorgeous skylights that let in the morning light. The cabin is in a cute, quiet neighborhood, tucked away enough to feel secluded but still only five minutes from town and five minutes from hiking trails. Ed was incredibly kind and responsive, and you can truly feel the care they put into this home. If you’re looking for a peaceful, artful, cozy place to unwind, read, play board games, reconnect with yourself, or simply escape the noise, this bungalow is perfect.

Great cabin in a beautiful area!

We LOVED this place. The attention to detail on all of the furniture, art, walls, etc was amazing. It was a beautiful blend of mid-century decor with classic antiquity. I got lost in all of the beautiful photography books while chilling on the deck and watching the sunset with my partner. VERY dog friendly and the host was responsive.

A Beautiful Cabin in the Woods

This property is tucked away in the forest against the scenic mountainside just outside of Idyllwild. With plenty of activities in walking distance or just a short drive away, this was the perfect spot to experience the town and hike in the area. We particularly loved the record player with an eclectic mix of tunes to relax and recharge to. The host, Ed, was super responsive and helpful throughout our stay. Amazing weekend getaway.

Beautiful! I wish we could move in.

This was our first VRBO experience and it was lovely. Everything about this home was exactly what we needed. I so appreciated the Craftsman style features throughout the entire cabin and all of the period pieces. It felt like we were experiencing the home of a family friend. Thank you!

About the host

Hosted by Edward Dunbar

Host profile image
I am psychologists who loves to travel. I came during my childhood to Idyllwild. I didn't return as an adult until 2013....I was concerned the village might not be as magical as I recalled, and was happy to find that it was still a unique community! I love that the town is very friendly. It has something for everyone: Art, film, and music festivals; hiking trails both easy and challenging; rock climbing; and close to the Pacific Coast Trail.

Why they chose this property

I have an apartment in Buenos Aires that Ill be renting to travelers on VRBO. It is great to have a property closer to home and that I can share with travelers. After looking at several cabins, this one was an instantaneous 'yes!'. The cabin (vintage 1940s) was charming, the yard was large and flat, the neighborhood was lovely yet convenient to town, and the views of the mountains were amazing! Over the past decade I've done several upgrades - most importantly, forced air heating, a new bedroom in the style of Charles Rennie Mackintosh, and another deck.

What makes this property unique

There is a classic arts and crafts vintage feel of the home, and have thoroughly enjoyed adding 'arts and crafts' period furnishings and arts from both California and the United Kingdom. These include stickley style furniture, period artwork, vintage jadeite; and period light fixtures. The unique details make this one of a kind as a place to get away to.
