Tom & Karen,Thank you so much for an amazing stay at your cottage â it was pure perfection! We absolutely loved everything about it, and our dog did too. Being so close to town made our getaway even better, and we couldnât have asked for a more relaxing and beautiful spot. Weâll definitely be rebooking when we visit again.
We loved basically everything. Comfortable bed, functional kitchen, cozy living room and dining room. I'd be happy living here. We have stayed in many different places, and we can't think of anything that would need to be improved in any way. Was well equipped, cozy and comfortable, secure and peaceful. We spend most of Saturday laying in the hammock looking at the tree tops, that was perfect. We didn't need to reach out to the host for any situation because everything went perfectly for us. We feel lucky to have found this place and we hope to come back someday soon.
We had a great stay! We will definitely be back. The loft ladder was kind of scary, with narrow planks, so we did not go up there. The kitchen appliances are really old, but they all worked great! The bed and futon were very comfortable, and the towels were soft and wonderful. Perfect proximity to town. My Son enjoyed chasing lizards and squirrels in the yard. We purchased peanuts from the market, and we fed the blue jays and squirrels.I gave four stars for "accuracy of online listing." It stated the following would be provided, but was not provided:1. Propane and charcoal grill2. Firewood for the fireplace3. Espresso machineWe were bummed about the grill, but made it worked cooking inside. There was a double oven, and we made some great meals. The kitchen had everything we needed. I was not able to back down the driveway. I could not see, so I dove straight down, made a three-point turn, and parked in the parking spot on the left. Upon leaving, I would back up next to the house to get a running start, which was needed. Thank you Tim for the great place! We will be booking again soon.
We truly enjoyed our time at this cabin. It is a good size, comfortable bed. Kitchen counter space was little tight, but microwave & toaster worked well with adequate numbers of dishes, cups, utensils & pans, pots, etc. Heater works very well. My husband loved big reclining chair. Outside patio was very nice to enjoy just sitting & enjoying the trees. About 10 min drive to the town area, which was perfect distance. Overall, very well kept cabin & the property manager responded really quickly to text. We will love to stay here again next time we go back.
We loved this cozy cabin! It was warm and inviting with the most homey details like snuggling blankets, comfy beds, lots of games, and super cute decorations. The loft was exciting for my two kids, as was the space outside to build a fort. The hosts are great at communicating quickly. We will be back!
The host and hostess went above and beyond with an abundance of cleaning supplies, kitchen supplies, and towels. Everything was made very accessible we had a wonderful stay. I highly recommend this place Tim and Karen were wonderful and we can't wait to do it again. Absolutely wonderful experience!!
The cabin was everything and more that I hoped for. Easy entry. Very clean and comfortable. Wonderful fireplace. Great location. I hope to return some day to this little slice of heaven on earth. Thanks to the owners for a perfect stay.

Idyllwild is an adorable town and this cabin matches the vibe. Lots of nice touches like extra blankets, laundry detergent in the cabinet was a nice surprise, there cute signs everywhere and lots of cooking supplies. The loft was fun for the kids, overall just what we needed for a fun weekend getaway.
The place was just great.Centrally located to everything downtown. We enjoyed our stay very much, our dog Romeo had a good time also.
Would recommend and hope to stay again.
My wife and I just returned from a quick weekend getaway. The cabin was perfect!! Very cozy in a quiet area of Idyllwild. Kitchen was well stocked and bed was very comfortable. We also utilized the front deck quite a bit to enjoy the weather and wildlife. Canât wait to come back!
I was attending a birthday party for a friend of mine that lived nearby. I arrived late in the evening and there wasnât much of a moon, so it was a little difficult to find at first, but once I found it, the check-in instructions were accurate and I settled right in. This cabin has a lot of charm and is very comfortable. , perfect for a secluded cabin getaway.., The only thing I would like to change about it would be a quieter refrigerator, and the strong scent of Final Net hairspeay in the bathroom. Again, just minor nuance items. Nothing that should keep any bloody from renting this wonderful little slice of heaven. Thank you so much for making it available to us!
My boyfriend, dog and I stayed at this lovely, cozy cabin for the weekend. It was was quiet, clean and very comfortable. It was just what we needed! Everything was as described and I'd like to add that the mattress was VERY comfortable. I would definitely recommend.
My partner and I stayed at this charming gnome cabin for a week and our experience was beyond our already high expectations. The cabin is so cozy and charming. It has a rustic, mountain feel along with all of the comforts of home. Tim and Karen have thought of everything that one might need. We found the wood bucket stocked so we could make a fire right away. It was so lovely, we made a fire almost every night while we snuggled with our glasses of wine on the couch. The kitchen has everything you need to cook whatever you want. The bed was comfortable with plenty of warm blankets if needed. It is not far from Idyllwild, where we explored, met the Mayor (a dog!!) and enjoyed dinner at elegant restaurants 2 nights. Tim was easily accessible when I needed help with connecting to Netflix, although we only watched it once! We took walks along the winding roads and met a couple of friendly residents getting ready for the summer. I highly recommend this little hide away and would definitely stay there again if we go to Idyllwild.
Even though the driveway is steep, backing in, as Tim suggested, worked well and we had no difficulty with it.
Also, there is a loft above the main floor with two beds and plenty of space for children to have their own space while still being close enough to be well supervised.
We are parents of two grown girls and two loving pups! We have lived in Southern California for 22 years. Our previous home was in Eugene, OR. We have always yearned to have a quiet place in the woods to take us back to the feelings of "getting into nature" that we used to enjoy when living in the Pacific Northwest. This year we were able to realize this dream by purchasing our cute little cabin. We so enjoy spending time here in the quiet and want to share this experience with others.
The proximity to the charming village of Idyllwild was our main reason for choosing this location. It's only about a mile from the village and has beautiful cedars as well as mountain views. We are also very close to many hiking trails. The sunny deck in front is a great place to relax as well as enjoy the sunset. While our little cabin is on a private unpaved road, access is easy as we are the first house on the road. Since the cabin is set lower than the main street, there is a feeling of privacy here.
The craftsmanship of the interior is unique and whimsical. There is actually a little house within the house where the wall between the kitchen and dining room was crafted as a little house with roof, chimney and other details, with a pass-through that can be closed with little shutters.
