Wonderful stay! Vintage cabin vibes with modern conveniences. Great location- easy to walk to trails and downtown. We spent most of our chill time on the back deck which was eye level with trees- so bird watching was great. The fully fenced in yard is huge! The dogs got their zoomies on every morning- note- there are 2 sets of stairs from the deck- one is meant for little legged dogs and made yard access for our low-rider pup easy. Highly recommend and our host Elena was amazing!

We had a very nice stay. Great place for a small family and two dogs. Only a 10-minute walk to town. Very clean cabin with large, fenced-in backyard. Host was gracious. A lot of attention to detail, and loved the teddy bear theme.

What a beautiful, clean and fun place to stay in Idyllwild!!! This cottage was perfect! Super close to town yet far enough to feel isolated. They left us wood for the fire and clear instructions for everything we needed. We’ve stayed in a bunch of homes throughout Idyllwild and this one topped them all!Thank you again! We’ll sure be back!

We had a wonderful stay at Honey Bear Cottage. Elena and Harold are outstanding hosts—friendly, highly responsive, and proactive communicators. They even came to our rescue immediately when we managed to lock ourselves out! The cottage is charming, well-stocked, and full of thoughtful amenities. We loved the stone fireplace, and the level 2 charger was a significant plus! Overall, fantastic hosts and home!

Honey Bear Cottage was delightful and Elena and Harold are very gracious hosts. The cottage is just adorable and super comfortable. Everything we needed, I mean everything, was there. The house, outside areas, kitchen, and bathroom were so well stocked. The deck was our favorite spot at the beginning and end of the day. Our doggie adored the big backyard. Elena and Harold were excellent communicators before, during, and after our stay. The day after we checked in, there was a weather alert for Idyllwild (cold, rain, and snow). Harold personally called us to make sure we felt safe and to let us know where extra wood was stored for the fireplace. He said to call if we needed anything and I knew he was sincere. We look forward to returning to Honey Bear Cottage and highly recommend the property as well as the kind hosts!

We very much enjoyed this well-appointed home! It was a short walk to town which we loved. The kitchen had all we needed. The backyard is huge…it was very cold when we were there so did not enjoy it as much as we’d have liked, but would love to return in the summer. The cottage is very pet friendly and the Ev charger was super helpful for us. We would definitely return!
