Guest Access:
Guests have full access to the home and property during their stay.
The Neighborhood:
Cedar Lodge is located in Fern Valley, the "Beverly Hills" of Idyllwild. A short 5 minute drive to the center of town allows you to enjoy the best of both worlds.
Getting Around:
A personal vehicle is required when visiting Idyllwild, as rideshare services such as Uber and Lyft are not available in town. Cedar Lodge is approximately 1.5 hours from Palm Springs International Airport.
Parking:
Up to four vehicles may be parked in the driveway. Street parking is not permitted and may result in ticketing or towing.
Winter Travel:
All-wheel drive (AWD) or four-wheel drive (4WD) is strongly recommended during winter months. In snowy conditions, chains may be required for all vehicles — including 4WD — particularly at mountain checkpoints. We recommend carrying chains whenever snow is in the forecast.
Other Things to Note:
Hosted by Marisa, founder of Wildland Cabins — a boutique collection of refined mountain homes designed for connection, restoration, and timeless family gatherings.
Interaction with Guests:
We are available to communicate for any questions or concerns from 8 am to 10 pm. For a medical emergency or fire please call 911.
