Very quiet area of town, super clean cabin. Make sure you have plenty of wood for the fireplace if youâre staying in the winter. The gas heat only warms enough to keep the pipes from freezing.
We loved the real experience of a wooden cabin in the woods. However, there were some issues with our stay, the stairs are really steep, not kids friendly.
If you have a fear of spiders this is not your place. We killed ten Wolf spiders the size of a quarter (I have the pics to prove). The refrigerator is extremely old and very loud and sounds like a motorcycling idling when running and woke me up all night long. Also the decor is very mystical and creepy. This stay was anything but peaceful and was my worst rental EVER!!!
This cabin was perfect! We stayed for the Thanksgiving holiday and it was an awesome experience. We were able to warm up by the fireplace and visit the local tree lighting ceremony. The cabin had a nice thanksgiving gift package for us when we arrived. Check in was easy and the cabin had everything we needed. Would definitely visit again.
We loved our overnight stay here! It's a simple, charming, mountain classic that looks like it hasn't changed in decades -- which I love. Really enjoyed using the fireplace (it got down in the 40s at night, even in September)! Super-convenient to town and gave us the mountain vibes we needed for this last-minute visit to Idyllwild.
The area and the cabin was very nice and enjoyable. Great neighborhood, short walk to the center of town (about 20 minutes). If you are tall like myself (Iâm 6â3â), you will need to be careful going up and down the stairs - there is a light fixture you will likely run into on the second floor. Otherwise, the place is just the right size for a cabin in the woods.
Great fireplace. Comfortable furniture.
A few suggestions: draughts around entrance doors. Big ole dead tick stuck in screen above sink. No bulb in bedroom small lamp.
Put bird seed out. What? No birds?
Bottom line. A wonderful 4 days together!
We had a very nice stay. It was cozy and well suited to what we needed. The cabin is on a very quiet street. It is close to town center and easy to get around.
Very Satisfied, Rustic, Peaceful, Quiet and RELAXING
We all enjoyed the property. My only negative was it is about a 0.7 mi walk (15 minutes) to the main part of town but the Mile High Cafe is a few blocks. BUT, being a little further away also made it very quiet. Cute place and seemed well maintained.
Beautiful rustic cabin located in a beautiful quiet forest area. I would have rated this 5 stars except for the fact the bed and sofas were also rustic and extremely uncomfortable. A nice bed along with some comfortable places to sit would have made this the perfect vacation place.
We celebrated our 29th wedding anniversary at your cabin. Loved almost everything about it. Beds need replacing and so does the couch. So cozy except for those things. We brought games and a lap top but would have loved to watch a movie on our time with a TV. Shower was ammmmaaaazzzziiiinnnngggg. Loved the pressure. Would love to revisit if those things could be updated. Otherwise itâs worth the extra money to stay elsewhere.
The setting was beautiful! The property needs work! The shower floods and hot water last about 4-5 minutes not enough time to wash yourself and hair before turning to cold water! The stairs to the loft are very steep and the railing is only half way up the stairs! Not very safe! The furniture needs updating especially the sofa!
I loved spending the weekend at this rustic little retreat and could imagine living here! It's obviously owned by people who care a lot about the energy of their space, noted by the unique details of the books on the shelves (Walden and the like) and art on the walls, even a singing bowl to clear the vibrations.
Thank you for sharing your peaceful sanctuary!
I like this place overall - large property, easy to find, plenty of room inside - and would have considered staying again. After reading other reviews about the shower, I assumed it was not an issue but it ran out of hot water within a few minutes and very cold water sprays you from the cold knob. Since you can't communicate thru VRBO with the property manager, Vacasa, I had to track them down through their site...another step I found inconvenient. They were friendly and prompt but apparently a cold shower was only worth a very small refund to the Local Operations Manager, which is less than 5% of my entire stay. It's too bad, I would have recommended this and it's a nice property but the management could be improved. I don't usually make these notes but it's fair to give people a heads up and I hope the property manager is ensuring everything is working properly ongoing.
This cute little cabin was the perfect escape from the desert heat. Conveniently located close enough to town to walk to the restaurants and shops. It boast a large deck for hanging in your hammock or sitting in the stillness of the woods (bring your own hammock or chairs for sitting). The kitchen is small, with an awesome gas stove, small frig and pretty much anything you need to prepare meals. The living room is cozy with a fireplace and windows that open easily to bring in the fresh mountain air. The stairs to the loft bedroom are tight and steep but manageable. there are two beds I believe they are full beds. The mattresses should be replaced sometime soon, they had their day. The bathroom is small and tight with a very small shower (low water pressure). Despite some of these set backs, the cabin is an awesome deal and a great get away spot. Beats camping!!
