We have tried to think of everything to make your stay as carefree and easy as possible. Contactless check in with keypad door lock. Host is available via text to assist you. In the unlikely event you do require onsite assistance we have a local representative available to help.
We're located in Pine Cove which is just over 3 miles up the road from the mountain hamlet of Idyllwild. Restaurants, bars shops and a movie theatre are a 10 minute run down the hill. World class hiking is minutes away. From an easy out and back stroll to linking up with the Pacific Coast Trail or getting to the peak of San Jacinto there is a hike for every skill level.
The cabin is located on a privately maintained road. During the winter the snow plows do not run on a regular schedule.
Access to the Lodge is via a trail/pathway that winds up from the parking area. Folks with mobility issues may find it challenging to navigate (especially during winter months if there is snow) and we strongly recommend checking with us if you have any questions or concerns prior to booking.
PineCove Water District requires the water to be shut off when the property is not being occupied. You will receive detailed instructions in your check in email regarding how to turn the water on and off at completion of your stay.
There is no curbside trash pick up in Idyllwild/PineCove. We ask that guests take all trash generated during their stay to the County Transfer Station for disposal. You will be given detailed instruction in your check-out memo. Transfer Station is located about 15 minutes from the lodge. Please ask if you have any questions or concerns.
