We think this corner of Pine Cove is just about the best part of the Idyllwild area. The cabin is relatively new, and is perfect. Paul has always been a nice host, and we highly recommend this property.

Another great stay!

I was looking to book a stay last minute with my parents and was surprised to see Paul's place was available! It is our second time here and so worth it. The place is cozy, location is perfect, and overall a great experience. I have fond memories of staying here and look forward to staying again!

About the host

Hosted by Paul Zapala

Host profile image
We live in Palm Springs and love coming up to Idyllwild. We didn't intend on buying a cabin, but when we saw this one come on the market, we couldn't resist. Perfect combination of peace and quite, views and privacy.

Why they chose this property

This is an ideal location at the end of the street. It has great views, is very private, and isn't in a crowded area of cabins. Being the last house on the street and with a strong slope to the next lot, you don't have a house in the view's way.

What makes this property unique

This is the ultimate getaway for those that want to check out and just enjoy some peaceful mountain air and scenery. You relax the minute you step on the deck. Put some bird seed in the bird feeder and watch the wildlife around you.
