It’s a perfect size for a nice getaway in the mountain. We loved the cute kitchen. The selection of dvds was one of my favorite things there. Just overall a very nice experience.
This space was exactly what we were looking for on a long weekend getaway. Incredible cute cabin vibe with all of the amenities ( more) that you could ask for. Everything is exactly as described, and the check-in/out details made everything exceptionally easy. The host is incredibly quick to respond and made us feel safe and exceptionally comfortable.
This cabin is exceptionally clean and organized! Host very responsive. Location to town just two minutes away. The only caveat- we didn’t know the driveway was steep and rocky until we received checking in instructions. It is best to back down and then get a running start to head back up. Super tight parking at bottom if you head down. Not the best for two older ladies, but we did it. But really a great cabin. Lots of trees, birds, squirrels, rabbits. Pleasantly peaceful.
My husband and I just stayed at this cabin for our anniversary getaway and we really enjoyed our time there. The cabin was very nice and cozy and the amenities were great.
The cabin was very cozy and welcoming. We loved our stay there and wished we could have stayed longer! It was very clean and had everything we needed. Also very quiet. We loved being able to enjoy the fireplace at night while reading or watching a movie on the tv.
The cabin was super cute and very nicely decorated. There was enough space for my wife and I and our two dogs. Tim the host was very responsive and helpful. The surrounding area was beautiful and the neighborhood was very quiet with friendly people. Absolutely loved this place and would definitely stay again.
Beautiful place to stay in Idllywild. Peaceful and quiet. The house had everything i needed

Brian was a wonderful guest, he treated our home as if it was his own and he followed all the house rules. We would recommend him to other VRBO hosts and can't wait to have him back. Tim "Lazy Gnome cottage"
We had a great stay! The cabin is extremely cozy, warm, and comfortable. Everything was well cleaned and the bathroom was spacious and spotless which was important to me.The lazy gnome cottage is well-equipped, with clear instructions and thoughtful notes around the cabin, which made everything easy. The host was very responsive and helpful. With rainy days during our stay, this cozy cabin was the perfect place to relax. We stayed for 3 days with my husband and our fur baby and really enjoyed it. Would happily return again!
Tom & Karen,Thank you so much for an amazing stay at your cottage – it was pure perfection! We absolutely loved everything about it, and our dog did too. Being so close to town made our getaway even better, and we couldn’t have asked for a more relaxing and beautiful spot. We’ll definitely be rebooking when we visit again.
The place was just great.Centrally located to everything downtown. We enjoyed our stay very much, our dog Romeo had a good time also.
Would recommend and hope to stay again.
We’ve stayed at this cabin every year for the last 10 years. Such a great location and home!

About the host
Hosted by Tim H
We are parents of two grown girls and two loving pups! We have lived in Southern California for 22 years. Our previous home was in Eugene, OR. We have always yearned to have a quiet place in the woods to take us back to the feelings of "getting into nature" that we used to enjoy when living in the Pacific Northwest. This year we were able to realize this dream by purchasing our cute little cabin. We so enjoy spending time here in the quiet and want to share this experience with others.
Why they chose this property
The proximity to the charming village of Idyllwild was our main reason for choosing this location. It's only about a mile from the village and has beautiful cedars as well as mountain views. We are also very close to many hiking trails. The sunny deck in front is a great place to relax as well as enjoy the sunset. While our little cabin is on a private unpaved road, access is easy as we are the first house on the road. Since the cabin is set lower than the main street, there is a feeling of privacy here.
What makes this property unique
The craftsmanship of the interior is unique and whimsical. There is actually a little house within the house where the wall between the kitchen and dining room was crafted as a little house with roof, chimney and other details, with a pass-through that can be closed with little shutters.
