Incredible view

We spent a really good time. The view and the deck were amazing. Very cozy cabin. One thing that I have to say, is that some of the furnitures were old. But in general we love our stay there.

Great place. Clean for an old cabin. Hosts were responsive. Pet friendly. The only thing, I blinds around the house except for in the master bedroom. Even then, there’s a side door in the bedroom with a small window and no blinds. We had to use a bedsheet to cover that window.

Very Peaceful place!

our family of six came up for a long weekend and have come home, relaxed and happy. The picture of the view you see online is even better in Person !!!!!! It’s quiet and peaceful and yet close enough for my kids to go to town for fun. The house has everything you would need comfortable beds, plenty of towels, hot showers and enough plates and dishes for any meals you might cook. The home is a great value and our family wants to go again.

The property has a severe rodent issue and is dirty. During our two days at the property, FOUR (4) mice came out of different areas of the living and dining room. We caught and threw out all 4 mice. The last mice came out of the top of old and stained couch while someone was sitting on it. The furniture is very old and broken, covered with a dog blanket to cover the stains. Obviously the owners/managers have known about the rodent problem since there were several mouse traps around the property. They nevertheless listed and rented the property. The views were good though!

Lovely view and location

Beautiful location, stunning views, very clean. ONLY problem (if you can call it that) is that the house is very dated. Electrical not up to code, dry rot on deck and hand rails, House desperately needs a paint job, floors need to be refinished. Overall rated it a 10, but think the owner needs to spend some $$ to pull it up to date.

Reviewer Comments: Overall it was brilliant Great location very quiet and peaceful Was a little disappointed with the bedroom located outside under the deck, was a little unclear in the descriptions also the loft bedroom which located next to the kitchen enroute to the main bedroom in a hallway or nook. Besides this everything was fine.

Could not have wished for better

Everyone in my family loved the location and view of this place. We did have a small problem with the bathroom door but it was addressed immediately. The property is a few minutes from the nature center, it was comfortable and could not have wished for better I really appreciate the place and i know my parents and my brothers also enjoyed every minute of it. I highly recommend it.

Sunset Perch Stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house has beautiful views, however the condition of the home was inferior to what we are used to from NSVH. The house felt dirty and there was a lot of very old dirty furniture, stained rugs, cobwebs, dirty stained walls, mold in the downstairs bathroom.

The view outweighs all negatives.

The property sits on the outskirts of town. The house needs TLC. The property manager is awful, and you will need additional physical signatures to access the property, more if you are arriving after office hours and did not complete all the paperwork before your arrival. Regardless of all these issues, this property has one of the best mountain views I have seen in all my 30 years going to Idyllwild. Sunrises and sunsets are breathtaking and will dissolve away all the hassles experienced during your stay.

dilapidated and disappointing

We've stayed at many short-term rentals and rarely been disappointed. This time was different. The location and view were indeed gorgeous. But the house is seriously run-down: doors and fixtures don't work, stains on the furniture, blinds broken, mice, and the second bedroom & bathroom are so dank and dilapidated our son refused to sleep there. We were so uncomfortable we left a day early.

Sunset Perch Cabin Idyllwild

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The cabin was not like the description or photos in the online listing. The outside wood (stair handrails, steps, wood around the window, some windows taped shut) and the mattress on the bed upstairs is old and depressed in the middle. The one good thing about the cabin is that the view from the deck is spectacular.

Heat was out

Unfortunately, the stay was less then ideal. The view is gorgeous and the home is very cozy but the heat was broken all weekend and it was super cold. The manager brought wood for the fire & space heaters but it didn’t do much to help heat the house at night and the use of the electric heaters blew the fuse so I had to reset the fuse box multiple times. Overall, it was a frustrating trip in a beautiful house.

Not exactly “luxury”

Sunset Perches views are amazing - but unfortunately - that seems to be all it has going for it. I had issues upon initial booking and when I got there - the property is old and worn and not worthy of a “luxury” listing. If you’re looking for views and solitude - this place fits the bills but no AC or fans during hot summer days made the place uncomfortable - not to mention hot tub not working and house in need of some care and attention. Would not stay here again for the price

Hello Christopher, Thank you for leaving us a review. The sunsets at this home are spectacular. I am sorry you were not satisfied with the condition of the home. Most homes in Idyllwild do not have air conditioning and we do not advertise as providing it; as it is great whether for the majority of the year. We were also not notified of the spa during your stay and have not had any reports of it not working; as we would have sent one of our maintenance team members to assess. We have many homes in our inventory and if you are ever up again in Idyllwild we would like to host you again and offer you another stay at a discounted rate.

Incredible Bird's Eye View

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed for 3 nights at Sunset Perch and the setting could not have been more breathtaking. Most of our time was spent on the front deck overlooking the valley and mountains. We played Trivial Pursuit for hours as hawks and blue jays soared overhead and a family of quail meandered through the yard below. It was an unseasonably hot weekend, but the breeze from the valley kept us cool. The open living space was well appointed and had everything we need to cook 3 meals a day. We came with lots of groceries, but the market in town is just a short drive away if we needed additional supplies. Beds were comfy and there were plenty of areas to sprawl out in the living room. The view from the hot tub was also worth noting as it sits on the side of the hill overlooking majestic rock formations as well.

Winter Vacation

Overall are stay was fantastic. We had a small hiccup upon arrival, even though on the rules/information packet states they recommend all-wheel drive, 4-wheel drive & even some chains. It would have been nice for the property manager to set up the vacation home by shoveling the driveway for tenants after a major storm occurred the prior night. In the driveway was about 1 feet of snow. Our car was able to go right up the driveway, but we had trouble with my sister in laws. We did utilize the chimney, but when we did use most of the smoke was entering the home. In addition, there was no fence around the chimney to prevent ambers from pooping out to the carpet or even the sofas. Other than that, beautiful home, beautiful scenery, well stock with kitchenet items. We left happy.

I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed a lovely weekend in the mountains. The view was amazing and the fireplaces were put to good use.Unfortunately, we encountered a few maintenance issues (shower head broken, water spraying everywhere, cold water knob stripped in shower, sink running incessantly, microwave duct taped together, fell apart, into the gravy on the cook top, broken garbage disposal, wall heater not functioning in lower unit, heating elements unplugged on stove top). We alerted the office immediately of the issues and were told that they didn't have time to deal with them. We spent most of our first morning attempting to fix these issues on our own but would rather not spend our precious vacation time fixing someone's rental property.

Great View

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The view was perfect. Peaceful and Quiet location. Visited by a family of squirrels during the day. Song birds in the background. The road to the house is rough, but doable. The place is dated. But if you don't mind rustic, older decor, it is comfortable. The floors were very clean, but the rugs are in bad need of cleaning. The main living room, bedroom and kitchen were clean and had everything we needed. The bathroom needs work, from the shower floor that needs fixing, and the walls way over do for a good cleaning. You can't use the new toaster oven, because the electrical system is not updated enough. We rented for the location, and was not disappointed. I also needed a location that did not have stairs and this was just what we needed. Sad that this home really is lacking a lot of needed maintenance and updated paint. If the main maintenance issue's were ever addressed, we would stay again. The Management company was very helpful and pleasant to work with.

Has the potential to be amazing

Let me start by saying that I stay in Idylwild a lot and like to try new places. I am never expecting five star luxury accomodations when I come to visit. I love the cabins and rustic charms. I chose this location because of the views pictured mostly but the accommodations were pretty low grade. When we arrived after picking up the keys from the property managers office. We walked into the house and the first thing you are created with is an old musty smell. Like you've walked into grandmas attic. I immediately went to open some windows to air it out. Well the sliding glass door that leads to the deck opened fine but the screen door that looked recently installed couldn't close because a very large door handle was on the exterior of the sliding glass door. There was also no handle on the sliding screen door, instead a hole had been cut out directly into the screen material so Even if you could close the screen you still have a large opening for bugs. Most of the windows need replacement. They are janky and some are dangerous. There were ants on the kitchen countertops at all times. The kitchen was well equipped with anything you might need to cook and serve meals. The beds were average for comfort but the bedspreads were very dated. The walls were dirty and dusty in every room. The deck furniture is shredded and very cheap/ugly. Even the dining room chairs has holes through the seats. I wouldn't stay here again unless updated.

Just aweful

First let me start with the positive - great view and well stocked kitchen. This is not a complaint email, rather a concern emial. I know we were supposed to let you know about concerns right away, but there were just too many. We lived in Pine Cove and truly understand the mountain. I would not rent this house again until many changes were made, for your reputation sake- do not rent this house again. Here are the concern's: This home is rat and bug infested. Upstairs- no window coverings - very disturbing. The back screen sliding door is broken as our most screens in the house, some windows don't open at all. The back sliding door does not lock- anyone could get in while sleeping- very scary. I had to clean the house 100%. I pulled appliances away from counters, huge ants and bugs. Cleaned floors- filthy. Did not clean bathroom floor- disgusting. Although the deck has amazing views, nothing was cleaned up and the umbrella does not have a base- how do you put it up? Bathroom- stained floor, hair dryer does not work with current electric situation. My husband is an expert in homes and states the electrical situation here is dangerous and he is shocked it has passed inspection. Where is the DVD player and the TV remotes do not work- maybe they need batteries? ? Where are trash cans- we went to the dump ourselves. Downstairs - huge COB webs with spiders- big black ones and bugs all over the towels. I got it livable but did not do major cleaning- too much. I need t
