Phenomenal accommodations and experience

We had a small group get together for our children to play and enjoy the snow. The house is impeccably outfitted, owners could not be kinder and more accommodating, and the overall experience couldn’t be better. We loved every moment of our brief vacation and look forward to being back time and again. Thank you Mark.

Not a big snow year this season, glad you got to enjoy snow. It makes it a little more special when the kids (and adults) can play in the snow!

Breathtaking!!

My family chose this place based on the great pictures, price and the location of this cabin. Upon arrival we were in awe of how beautiful this place really is, pictures don't do justice. Everything was exactly what was described and more. We traveled from another state and the fact that the cabin had everything from pots and pans, to towels and blankets made our trip easier and more enjoyable. The owners seem like outstanding people and are extremely helpful. They kept In touch with us and we're available to answer any questions we had. If we could rate it higher, we would. We will be staying here again for sure!

I know what you mean, the pictures don't do it justice. We actually cut down a few trees and made firewood out of them, so the view is even better! Glad you enjoyed your stay.

A Great Retreat

We very much enjoyed our time at the Hilltop Cabin. We were 8 adults and one two-year old (he gets a lot of attention). The accommodations were great. We were all comfortable (3 in the bunk room). There's plenty of room to be together or get away. The kitchen was well stocked with equipment, we cooked nearly all our meals and were able to find everything we needed. The property is very private, with no immediate neighbors, and generally pretty quiet. The highway is nearby, but wasn't really obtrusive. Unfortunately the valley was pretty hazy during our trip, but I imagine the view is stunning when it's clear. Overall we had a great week and definitely recommend the property.

Snow memories and more made!

The place was very spacious, clean, and well stocked for cooking needs as well as activities for families and kids. The large dining area was generous for our group, as well as the living room. The window in there was worth the trip alone! We saw a beautiful sunset and got a surprise of fresh snow. The kids loved it! There was a piano to try out, and the game table with many choices of games to choose from. It was a cold few days but the heat was very adequate to keep us warm and toasty. The layout is great, we loved the wood details! The owner was kind enough to send the plow to shovel the snow on the road to help is get out for the day. The grill on the patio was huge so cooking for our group was ideal and quick! The owner was easy to communicate with and quick to respond too. If there was an issue, he tried to work it out. We will definitely come back, it was super and the kids genuinely had a wonderful time making menories together. Many thanks Mark!

Reunion with friends

My husband, myself and 10 of our friends stayed here for the weekend and had a wonderful time. We also had two 12 year old boys that never peeped one time that they were bored and that right there tells you there was enough for them at the cabin to keep them busy. The cabin was clean, comfortable and very well stocked with kitchen needs. The views are out of this world and the fire pit was a big bonus because it was quite cool. We were there when the navy set off that missile and boy did we have a front row view! It was spectacular and eerie since we knew nothing about it going up. The tram up the mountain at the San Jacinto park was very cool too, we did some short hikes that had snow and that was a bonus for my husband and I coming from Florida! The only complaint that we had was that we had to leave!! Thank you Mark for being so gracious and available! Oh and do read the arrival and departure instructions so that you don't have to take a cold shower!! Oops!
Response from VrboOwner on 26 Mar 2020
Glad you enjoyed yourselves and even had some snow! We go up every month so keep the kitchen stocked up with all the gear to make some great family dinners. I have some friends that stay at the cabin with older teenage kids and thought they might get bored but I think kids love to be outdoors and feel adventurous they keep asking to come up.

Real Relaxation & Superb Scenery

The perfect way to get closer to nature while maintaining the comforts of home. The cabin is great for big families or large groups who want a beautiful mountain getaway. The property has a lot of room for activities and gorgeous views. From making s’mores around the fire pit, to putting together puzzles and playing games in the family room, to watching the sunset from the deck—- my family had a lovely time. Would definitely stay here again!

Fantastic as always!

This is the third time our family of four has stayed in Mark's amazing home. It is always super clean and well-stocked and so homey. We were only able to stay for two nights, but we got in some sledding on their awesome back hill, s'mores around the fire pit and lots of rounds of Pictionary. The views are to die for and all the furniture is super comfortable. We will be back again for sure!

Wonderful Cabin with space and a view!

Our second stay at this rare, large and well appointed cabin less than 10 minutes from town. We wanted to introduce our close friends to Idyllwild and knew this would be perfect. And so it was. I daresay we will be back again.

Peaceful with an Amazing View!

Just got back home from a WONDERFUL stay at the cabin! The property is beautiful, peaceful and private! The kitchen handled everything we could throw at it. The kids loved exploring the property and, as my daughter stated, "extreme rock hopping"! We've rented cabins around the Idylwild-Pine Cove area but were frequently disappointed about the lack of privacy (so many cabins stacked so close to each other) but not this place! Lastly, the view is jaw-dropping! Watching the sun set each night was one of the highlights of the trip.

A beautiful home with amazing views! This place has everything you could need and more. It is the perfect size for two families with kids (the bunk room is awesome!), spotlessly clean, with comfortable beds, a cozy fireplace and lots of indoor and outdoor space.

Response from VrboOwner on 13 Sept 2021
I'm sorry to hear you ran out of hot water. Thanks you for the feedback Keith. The hot water heater is turned down to "low" after each guest leaves to minimize the propane usage when the cabin is unoccupied. On arrival it's necessary to turn the water heater up so it's ready for all the needs of the cabin, which we have in the check in procedures. I'll look into the hot water heater to make sure it's working properly.
