Idyllwild Retreat

This is that rare property that exceeds the owners description. The design of the property takes full advantage of its surroundings with large windows looking out over the trees. The 400 year old cedar lit up at night in front of the living room windows was magical. The thoughtful decor enhanced the overall experience. You will not find a better property in the area.

wonderful mountain getaway

We had some unexpected weather challenges during our weekend, and John truly went above and beyond to make sure we were well taken care of. The house is meticulous and is the most well-appointed rental home at which I've stayed. We had a lovely, cozy weekend playing board games, enjoying the hot tub and exploring Idyllwild. A morning coffee with freshly ground local coffee was the perfect touch. We will certainly be back!

We wanted to get away to do some hiking with our family and our dog and this was the perfect place to stay. The house was beautiful and well maintained and the creek that ran right behind the house was so amazing to hear. Great suggestions from the host about trails and restaurants which was very helpful. Thank you for opening your home to us.

Stunningly gorgeous ideal location

Perfect in every way. Beautiful, clean, comfortable, centered in and around nature. The location is ideal, 5 minutes from amazing restaurants while also being 5 minutes from incredible hiking. The windows stare at peaks we hiked to the top of during our stay. This home and host are everything you wish for in a vacation rental. A truly lovely experience.

Friendsgiving Getaway

There were 6 of us total, 3 couples, who have been friends for over 25 years. We just wanted to get away for a few nights and hang out together. It was a stunning VRBO - one of the nicest we have ever stayed in. Everything was so modern and up to date, and the house was stocked impeccably well! It was gorgeous - we don't have a single complaint. Thank you for the lovely time. We all agreed we would definitely stay there again if we come back to Idyllwild.

Exceeded all expectations!

Truly amazing property. The views of the mountains - which are right on top of you - are incredible. The stream out back provided the perfect soundtrack for our relaxing getaway. First class amenities. Extremely responsive communication with the owner. Very close to Humber Park with two great hiking trailheads. Look no further!

Host profile image
As an avid traveler and having visited over 60 countries, I have a deep appreciation for travel and unique getaways. Creating unforgettable vacation retreat experiences is a way for me to share that feeling and excitement of travel to others. As an artist and designer, I aim to bring a creative and expressive touch to each home.

Why they chose this property

Haven is unlike any other in the mountain areas of Southern California. There are certainly more expensive stays, but nothing with the care, detail and cabin chic luxury modern-meets-eclectic signature of Haven. This is the premier cabin experience in all of SoCal.

What makes this property unique

From the unbelievable setting and views, the Japanese onsen style cedar hot tub under the 400 year old cedar tree, the location overlooking a forest and seasonal creek on property, the carefully decorated home, art, and decor, the unique signature bedrooms, chef's kitchen with every detail and spice a foodie would desire, two new beautifully renovated modern-lux bathrooms, walking distance to Idyllwild's best trails, a large selection of unique books selected just for Haven, over a dozen popular games and cards, the custom made designer foosball table, the 7 ft teak bench style dining table for big dinners with family, the 5patio decks throughout the home and the open, spacious bright interior with views all around, and cozy wood burning fire place always stocked with wood... you simply cannot beat Haven for epic (yet cozy) cabin experience.
