About this property

Hip, Secluded 2BR/2BA Cabin Unmatched Panoramic Views and Charm Among the Pines

Permit #RVC-2240

Welcome to Mountain View Treehouse, a light-filled 2BR/2BA cabin perched in the treetops of Pine Cove, just 3 miles from Idyllwild town center. Offering total privacy—your nearest neighbors are 1,000 feet away—this isn’t your grandmother’s cabin! It’s a newly remodeled retreat that blends rustic mountain charm with modern luxury.

The Home

Soaring vaulted ceilings, wood beams, clerestory windows, and a beautiful rock fireplace create a cozy yet stylish mountain vibe. Large windows frame unmatched panoramic views, while three separate decks invite you to relax, birdwatch, or sip morning coffee surrounded by nature.

The home sits on over half an acre of explorable land with a private knoll, picnic spots, and a brand-new grill for outdoor dining. Despite the privacy, you’re just a 5-minute drive to town and a short walk to Pine Cove Market for wine, beer, and essentials.

Bedrooms & Baths

Master Suite: Spacious with its own sitting area, fireplace, flat-screen Roku TV, evaporative cooler, and a private deck with breathtaking views.

Second Bedroom: Comfortable and inviting, ideal for family or friends.
The cabin includes 1.5 newly remodeled bathrooms stocked with fluffy towels, shampoo, conditioner, and body wash.

Comfort & Amenities

Stay cool with a brand-new AC unit upstairs, or cozy up by the fireplace on chilly nights. Ultra-high-speed internet (400 Mbps) makes remote work or streaming easy, and both TVs are equipped with Roku plus a Blu-ray player with a DVD library.

The fully remodeled kitchen features stainless appliances, a Bosch dishwasher, and all the tools you’ll need to prepare a gourmet meal. Coffee maker, blender, and toaster included.

Wonderful stay, perfectly appointed- nothing lacking. Views incredible. Bed comfortable ( only used 1 bedroom. Parking is a bit tricky if you have large vehicle. And the two story staircase is steep with shallow steps. However, if you’re capable navigating those issue - it is a peaceful & very satisfactory destination!

Spectacular view

The view alone made the trip worth it. We had all of our meals on the deck. The best part was to be able to enjoy the nature without having to give up any of the material comforts like a good kitchen, soft beds and good restrooms. The only suggestion from my end would be bring your own coffee pods because we couldn’t find the coffee carafe for the filter coffee and no pods for the Keurig. Which was fine for me because I am a tea person myself.

Kitchen is clean and very well stocked with everything we needed during our stay. The view is beautiful and we loved dining out on the deck watching the various birds land on ledge and nature all around us. thanks again! hoping to come back again, but wished it could accommodate more than 4 adults for extended family!

Great getaway

The 5 stars in the reviews are accurate. Unlike the 4 and 5 stars one sees in other reviews, as with Amazon, there is nothing inflated about the high marks you see with this property. Professionally managed, well equipped, quiet property. Parking is a bit tight, but the outstanding views more than compensate for that small issue. In short, certainly a property one will want to return to.

Wonderful peaceful stay in the pines!

We thoroughly enjoyed our weeklong stay at this property. Everything about the property was wonderful. It was exactly as it was pictured on VRBO. Perfect size. Super clean. Amazing views. Very quite and peaceful sitting outside on the deck listening to the wind thru the trees and all the different bird sounds. The beds were comfortable. Kitchen fully stocked. Had a ton of fun making fires each day with my son. Would highly recommend -- and we'll definitely be back. Thank you!

Our three-night stay at the mountain cabin was fantastic! The cabin is cozy, well-equipped, and perfectly located with stunning views of the mountains and surrounding trees. The back deck was the highlight, offering a peaceful spot to enjoy the fresh air and feed the friendly birds and enjoy wildlife. It felt like a private retreat, with everything we needed to relax and unwind. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a cozy, nature-filled getaway!

About the host

Hosted by Mark E Dubas

Host profile image
I love buying truly special properties and enjoy the fact that I can share them with so many others. It is my eighth year with my own vacation rental business.
I have taken such pride in our other properties that I am happy to say that we boast a five star rating on VRBO and countless incredible reviews from our valued VRBO customers. An avid vacation renter myself, I like to provide my guests with every amenity they could possibly need to make their stay a relaxing and memorable one.

Why they chose this property

I fell in love with the charming community of Idyllwild after my very first visit. After searching for the perfect property for over three years, I knew that this place was special from the minute I walked in the door. It was like nothing I had seen before- light and bright with windows boasting incredible views everywhere. With three separate decks, soaring wood ceilings, a flawless floor plan and charm to spare, I can truly say that this fully remodeled stunner is my dream mountain getaway. The home sits on a double lot totaling almost three-quarters of an acre of prime mountain land. I love exploring the property and collecting pine cones and manzanita branches. When you are at this property, you truly feel that you have gotten away from it all. Particularly when you come home from a fabulous meal at night and stand on the deck taking in the most incredible view of the stars I have ever seen. What can I say, the place really is magic.

What makes this property unique

Because this home sits on a mountainside nestled on a private road, it boasts incredible views and a peaceful environment. Sitting on the deck watching the birds come to feed at the birdhouse is one of my favorite pastimes. I even provide a bird watching book and binoculars so that you can identify your new friends. Because of the "windows everywhere" concept of this house, even on a cold day while nestled in front of the fire, you feel like you are outside in the middle of nature.
This home is truly a luxury accommodation. High thread count sheets, soft fluffy towels and comfortable pillows all make for a relaxing stay. Because cooking is a passion of mine, the home is stocked with high quality pots and pans, beautiful dishes and glassware and every kitchen utensil you might need to cook a gourmet meal. The home also has a brand new chef's quality infrared grill.
For those snow-filled wintry days, the home has a beautiful wood burning fireplace/stove and lots of items to entertain you - smart flat screen television, Blu-ray disk player, dvd's, board games and a large book collection.
With all that it has to offer, this home truly is the perfect mountain getaway.
