Everything was beautiful and in working condition! Very cozy house, and easy to follow guidelines. Close to the town center and still far away enough to feel like a retreat. Enjoyed our stay very much! Thank you :)

It was home away from home. The home has a great special energy to it , and peaceful look on the inside and outside MAKES IT A HOME AWAY FROM HOME.This is the 3rd or 4th time we been here . We absolutely love it! Next visit I will bring my kids. Usually, it is only me and my wife. But I will make it a point to bring my kids for the experience.

We arrived to a filthy place. The housekeeper hadn't come. Dirty slept in sheets and bedding. Towels unwashed. Shower didn't look like it had ever been cleaned. Kitchen Faucet was broken off so no kitchen sink available. Cell phones don't work there so we drove into town got service and got the owners voice mail. We decided to leave and find other accommodations.

Everything with this property was 5 stars, with one exception, the TV. The service is thru Spectrum. I'll admit that I am technically challenged , but it took me hours trying to figure out how to operate it. The remote control was very strange and very unresponsive to the TV. There was no volume control on either the remote or even the TV itself. On some channels it was so loud it hurt our ears. Very frustrating and annoying. Except for the TV everything else was great, we enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay there again.

Property was as advertised. If you want a cozy cabin tucked away in a quiet area of Idyllwild this would be an excellent choice. We only used 1 of the 3 bedrooms and had no problem sleeping (mattress quality is always one of my biggest concerns). Grounds are well kept and we used the hot tub every evening after our hikes. A short drive into town and to the major trail heads. Check in was seamless and everything worked in the cabin.

Absolutely wonderful

We lucked out with a snow weekend. It was magical- the location was great a quiet neighborhood-hot tub was clean and kept hot for us to use the 1st night. The cute little clawfoot tub was a little too short but for kids it would be perfect for sure!! I loved how cozy everything felt I think the couch might need to be updated soon the bed was very comfortable I would have liked to burn wood in the fireplace but can understand about mess and fire risks. The duraflame log just wasn’t quite the same. I didn’t find the microwave until the last day it’s above the oven in the cupboard I’m short so I wouldn’t have been safely able to use it anyway owner was quick to respond to all our questions (only a few) I plan on renting again in the summer or fall with a group of friends to experience all the magic the property has to offer

Beautiful Storybook Home

Property looked great online, but exterior was dirty, many light fixtures were either improperly wired, flickering lights or missing light blubs, unsafe to walk around after dark. Pots and pans in kitchen were advertised, however they were the non-stick variety with most significantly scratched making them unsafe to use. TV was new and not registered to owner, requiring renter to create an account with Samsung to use TV. Major inconvenience.

Cozy Winter Cabin

Wonderful stay in this cozy and clean cabin. Enjoyed the hot tub. The cabin had plenty of cookware to make our own meals. Very close to hiking trails and town. Easy parking. Beds were comfortable but mattresses were very warm - the host recommended low temperature settings for overnight and we were comfortable sleeping. Might be too warm in the summer. Overall a great experience
