About this property

Beautiful Storybook Home with hot tub, in the forest. Close to hiking trails.

This fairy tale home in the middle of the forest that features 3 bed & 2 baths.
Beautifully landscaped with a creek that runs alongside the property with deer often roaming the grounds. Our cabin features a large hot tub on the back deck that is very private. You will not believe the grounds, surrounded by nature. A true gem.
The home is located in the upscale Fern Valley section of Idyllwild, close to Humber Park Trailhead with fantastic views of Lily Rock! Set in the forest, this cabin is a dream for those looking for a nature retreat. Cert#001306

We had a very comfy stay! We brought our own firewood and groceries for quick meals. Bedrooms very cozy and warm. It was the perfect storybook setting for us to write for our album. Hosts were very communicative and instructions very clear.

This property is beautiful. Our stay was cut short due to safety concerns, specifically with the smoke detection. At the time, the host was unable to respond to the issues. We would stay here again if the issues were rectified.

This cabin surpassed all of our expectations! Hands down the cutest, coziest, and most comfortable cabin I have ever visited. The host was very responsive, the check-in process was simple, and the cabin was an absolute dream! We enjoyed the hot tub, it was very clean and hot! We had fires in the fireplace every night while we watched Christmas movies. And we got peanuts from the village market and fed all of the beautiful grey squirrels and birds around the back deck. After leaving, we all talked about making this an annual destination because we loved it so much!

It was home away from home. The home has a great special energy to it , and peaceful look on the inside and outside MAKES IT A HOME AWAY FROM HOME.This is the 3rd or 4th time we been here . We absolutely love it! Next visit I will bring my kids. Usually, it is only me and my wife. But I will make it a point to bring my kids for the experience.
