A very cute, spacious, and comfortable house with everything you need for a perfect getaway into the mountains - and even more: a hot tub and a sauna are the great addition. We can't wait to come back!

We had a wonderful stay! The cabin was very clean and well equipped, and had everything we needed. The host was very communicative. The only thing I would add would be some extra-large towels specifically for the hot tub. Other than that, everything was perfect!

Our hosts could not have been more attentive. We had internet problems, which they worked very hard to fix and got a whole new internet system set up. There were incredibly communicative and kind.The place itself was also amazing. A lovely fireplace, a wonderful hot tub with a beautiful view. Overall we just had a lovely time!!!

This was a lovely property that certainly showed up as advertised. My husband and I wanted a few days away, and this was the perfect respite. The home was lovingly renovated and enhanced with personal finds from the home-owners travels (I’m assuming). It was super comfortable, queen bed was amazing, deck was lovely and private, along with the hot tub. For future tenants- recommend printing out or taking photo of both map and instructions. You’re WAY up in the mountains and cell service varies. We would love to stay again!Fun fact - mayor of Idyllwild is a beautiful Labrador retriever named Max

A lovely home

Once a year, my dearest friends and I take a long “Girl’s Weekend,” and this year, we chose Idyllwild. The home we stayed in was clean, tidy, comfortable, and welcoming. The amenities were as described, and we had a wonderful time exploring Idyllwild, running into Palm Springs, and then visiting Joshua Tree National Park on our way out. Highly recommended, we would definitely stay there again!

Perfect mountain getaway

This property has so much to offer. It has a spacious deck with beautiful views of Tahquitz Rock. It is close to Strawberry creek and we could hear the water flowing. The house was amazing and so cozy. We took our mother for a Mother’s Day treat and she loved it! Thank you for sharing your home.

Gorgeous Idyllwild

The home is spacious and well-appointed. The deck outside is large and lovely for dinner outside. The weather was a bit too hot and there is no A/C so that was a challenge but we used fans and it was bearable. The location is wonderful, near the main hiking area. We had a lovely time and appreciated the nice kitchen, TV (we got to watch Wimbeldon and the European Football final!), and king-sized bed.

Perfect Snow Stay

We stayed at this property for a weekend during the snow storm in idyllwild. It was magical to say the least, such a cute house. It was big and spacious, very well stocked, and just a super cozy stay. The best thing about this property is the fact that we did not have to leave to go play in the snow, we just went into the backyard which had so much fluffy snow and we could sled and play for hours there. To finish it off we went into the hot tub and it was such a nice weekend. The property owners are extremely responsive and very accommodating. Would definitely recommend coming here!

This house was beautiful, clean, big and comfortable. The house is up to date, looks like a remodeled home. Kitchen is large and everything you need. The beds are super comfy. The heater worked great.. I’m always cold! HahaBig backyard with spa and sauna. Was beautiful to sit in the spa in the cold crisp morning air with a nice scenic view. There’s also board games that we played and a smart tv.. in the living room only. The ONLY con for this house was no tv’s in the bedrooms. But other than that we loved this home and would return.

Great Getaway

This is the second time we have stayed here. We loved it so much the first time, we brought the kids back...and they loved it too! The pictures don't do the backyard justice. It's truly magical for the kids to play amongst the trees and use their imaginations. The house feels like a home and has everything you need and more. I love that because we like to cook and we don't have to pack all our cooking stuff(pots, pans, knives, etc). The one downside of the trip(and nothing against the house) is that it was hot in Idyllwild(the one week it's hot there lol) and there is no a/c so the house does get pretty warm, but we utilized the fans and it cooled off at night. We absolutely LOVE this home and the neighborhood.

Wonderful!

Really great spot to enjoy quality time with friends or family. Lots of space, big rooms, comfy beds, and adequate facilities. The property itself is quite large. The kitchen has all the necessities one would need for cooking however, I don’t think that the icemaker was working, so grab some ice. The Jacuzzi was a wonderful experience at the end of the day to sit and relax. I love that we were able to connect with the Sonos speaker for music The one thing that a little weird was that there were no curtains or blinds in the main bathroom so we all showered in the dark for privacy. Otherwise the house is really great! We would stay again in a heartbeat!

Clean Place with Lots of Amenities.

We loved this place. The location is higher up away from town, but is quiet. You see lots of trees out the windows and a nice view of Lilly Rock from the deck. The hot tub works well and is well located on the deck, just be careful stepping out as there's a little space between the main deck and where the hot tub sits. The rooms are spacious and the bathrooms have nice showers and good toilets. The kitchen is very spacious and the television had all the streaming channels we wanted. The place does not have central air and this was a hot weekend, but the fans worked. There's a ceiling fan in the kitchen dining room area that works well and two stand-up fans. The washer / dryer worked very well and they have lots of stuff like cotton balls and neosporin in case you forget anything! I especially liked the stovetop / oven. All in all an great place.

Wonderful Home

My husband and I stayed here for our anniversary trip and loved the home. I messaged the host about changing my dates and they were very prompt in their response. The house is lovely, well equipped, and in a great location. The home owners messaged me prior to arrival with a detailed email that answered all of my questions. We would definitely stay here again.

We absolutely LOVED our stay here! Perfect location - about 1.5 miles into town. We brought Ebikes and just rode them everywhere. Place was stocked with everything we could need (except a blender for margaritas!) Gorgeous deck for stargazing and very quiet and peaceful. Thank you so much!
