David is truly a wonderful host. This was our second year in a row at Davidâs place. The home is large and gave my family plenty of room to spread out. Itâs a comfortable 20 minute walk to town. I highly recommend this place!
This is our third year celebrating here and itâs perfect for us! Large dining table for Christmas dinner, big kitchen, cozy living room for lounging and visiting, pool table for the adult kids, and walking distance to town. The host is awesome and attentive. Looking forward to ANOTHER year when we celebrate Christmas 2025 together:)
The property had everything we needed for our family Easter weekend. We only wish we had more time to enjoy all that the cabin has to offer. The photos in the listing don't do it justice. The decor is fun and interesting. The owner checked in via phone to make sure all is well. We only wish there were some basic instructions for things like the fireplace (is there a flue? we surmised not) and what controls we may or may not have for the central heat. Checkout instructions were via phone, but having them listed would be helpful when there is a large group of people. These are minor points and didn't affect our enjoyability of the property. We definitely recommend it!
We have been yearly visitors here since 2019 and wouldn't consider staying anywhere else in Idyllwild.This home is spacious yet so cozy and the ample parking is a huge bonus. The beautifully remodeled kitchen includes a double oven and is well-equipped, everything you could possibly need, including a coffee nook. Lots of outdoor seating on the large deck and the property is surrounded by beautiful towering pines. An easy and short walk to town. Host David is communicative and thoughtful; the home is always heated when we arrive in the cooler months and it's so welcoming. The whole family looks forward to many future visits!
Had a wonderful time at this fantastic cabin in Idyllwild.The location is a 10 minute walk to the center of town.The cabin has plenty of room to spread out. The kitchen is great and had everything we needed to cook Christmas Eve dinner and Christmas Day brunch.There is a cozy fireplace in the living room, a huge game room, and an amazing music room with a beautiful piano.David, the owner was great and offered his assistance if we needed anything.Thanks so much for making our Christmas family get together one we'll always remember!We will definitely be back!
We arrived in Idyllwild with snowflakes falling all around us. it was very cold, the roads were barely passable. we found the house, and sliding and slipping, made our way inside. Wow, were we in for a surprise. Everything had been set up perfectly. The house was already warm and cozy. Everything was available and working properly. The house was comfortable with so many interesting features. The music room was a delight and the pool table got a lot of use. The heavy snowfall was a challenge, but so very beautiful. We will certainly be back to this property.
Have stayed here multiple times. Beautiful home and plenty of room for a large group. Comfortable beds and furniture and a beautiful, newly remodeled kitchen. Owner super responsive and a pleasure to do business with.
This is our 3rd time staying here. What a fantastic property for a family vacation. David the owner goes above and beyond to insure you have everything you need. Kitchen is fully equipped and lots of room for everyone to spread out. The outside patio is beautiful. We love it!
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!
This is our second visit to this property. Our first trip was November. Summer was equally great. Itâs 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.
Lovely, quiet setting, yet walking distance to town. The home was very well kept, many amenities, with lots of fun activities to do in the home and on the property. Would definitely stay again in the future. Thank you!
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. Youâll feel secluded while still being a short walk from town. Great stay!
We truly enjoyed our visit to Idyllwild and this beautiful mountain home. For our family group of 12, we rented both the main house and the guest cottage. One of our group has limited mobility and there were several options for rooms on the ground floor. (Guest house: Queen bed sofabed with full bathroom, Main House ground floor: 2 full bathrooms, one Queen room, 2 rooms with 2 twin beds each, Main House 2nd floor: 2 rooms with a Queen bed in each, sharing a bathroom). Meals at the large dining table were easy to fit everyone. The house has so many different rooms to hang out in that if someone wanted a quieter space they could easily find one. The weather in May was great so we spent our most of our days outdoors, some walking to town from the home and others taking a more strenuous hike from the home to the beautiful vista at Suicide Rock. Beds were clean and comfortable, kitchen was well-appointed and there were plenty of silverware, glassware & dishes for large group meals. The outdoor deck and yard had several areas for conversation and games, and we enjoyed the large tv room/pool table/game room. We used both large BBQ's and there was plenty of propane supplied. I would recommend bringing your own Ziploc bags of varying sizes for leftover food storage. If you stay during the colder months, there is a large fireplace stocked with wood for guests. The owner/property manager was very responsive with questions we had and we would happily stay here again!
So blessed we found this location for our dream wedding. The property was perfect for our entire family (including out of state visitors), the outside was what we had envisioned for our ceremony and reception. All of our guests enjoyed the fresh air, outdoors and beautiful destination. Cannot wait to come back for our 1 year anniversary and celebrate with the family. Owner is very communicative and helped make our special day run without any hiccups. Highly recommend.
A favorite family tradition-the weekend before Thanksgiving at this beautiful spacious and cozy home in the mountains of Idyllwild. Towering trees and a circular driveway with ample parking for all of our cars. Family favorites include a roaring fire in the music room with a beautiful piano and gorgeous floor to ceiling windows and spending time on the large deck with the twinkling lights. A well thought out kitchen, with every possible convenience at hand. Recent kitchen and bathroom remodels are stunning! Short easy walk to town. Charming guest house on property is available to rent as well, perfect for us as our group has grown. Host is very welcoming and easy to reach. Hands down best rental property and consistently excellent experience, always spotlessly clean! Very special place...
What a great experience staying in this gem to celebrate my birthday with family and friends. All the rooms are very comfortable, the kitchen has everything you need, the music and game room are simply awesome. David is a great host and super easy to communicate. Thank you so much! Will definitely come back!
This was our second time staying at he property. It is charming and perfect for a large group. The house is very well equipped and the kitchen is fabulous for cooking. The location to town is perfect. The house is surrounded by trees and set back off the road for privacy. It is close to many hiking trails and restaurant. We look forward to returning to the property and making more memories. The owner is quick to answer any questions.
