Really great home & host!!

David is truly a wonderful host. This was our second year in a row at David’s place. The home is large and gave my family plenty of room to spread out. It’s a comfortable 20 minute walk to town. I highly recommend this place!

Fabulous lodge

Great place! Very comfortable, great communication with host. Plenty of room for our family group of 9. Kitchen was amazing, plenty of cookware and beyond the basic supplies. Probably the best stocked VRBO kitchen ever! Hoping to make this an annual trip!

A Wonderful Home

We had a wonderful time in Idyllwild! The house was spacious with plenty of areas to hang out. The pool table, the piano, so much fun! Amazing kitchen and grill where we cooked all weekend. You’ll feel secluded while still being a short walk from town. Great stay!

Great place!!

We had our annual trip to Idyllwild this last weekend with my kids and their significant others. The house was perfect as it gave us plenty of room to spread out. The proximity to the downtown area was great with only a 10 minute walk. Our host, David was wonderful and supplied the house with all the essentials you could ever imagine. I highly recommend!

Beautiful any time of year

This is our second visit to this property. Our first trip was November. Summer was equally great. It’s wonderful for family get togethers. Plenty of space to hang out and entertain all ages. The new kitchen and bathrooms are wonderful. Close enough to walk into town or trailheads. We will be back again.
