Fern Valley--the Perfect Spot in Idyllwild Any Time of Year

In the beautiful Fern Valley area of Idyllwild, the home is bright, sunny and open, and the perfect mountain getaway for a group of friends, one or two couples, or a couple with children.

Built in 2002, the home has all the modern conveniences (forced air heating, air conditioning, gas fireplace, microwave, dishwasher, electric stove and oven) and every comfort you'd want in that getaway weekend. Everything is on the first floor (there is a loft above the kitchen but nothing is up there) and the two bedrooms have queen beds and their own bathrooms with showers. There is a washer/dryer as well. The bedrooms and living room are carpeted for cozy warmth, and the kitchen, bathtooms, dining area and hallways are tiled. The huge deck has a table and chairs and is the perfect place to sit out and watch the wildlife and incredible sunsets.

The road to the home as well as the driveway are wide and well-maintained. It's only 1.4 miles to the center of town, and even less to many beautiful hiking trails, from easy to moderate to strenuous levels of difficulty. We even discovered the home is about 75 yards from the popular and easy Ernie Maxwell Trail, which also runs to and from Humber Park.

When we come up to Idyllwild we find our weekends last very long as time does seem to go slower when we're relaxing and simply enjoying the beauty of the area.

Check-in time is 4:00 p.m. and check-out time is 11:00 a.m. For earlier or later times please ask me and we try to accommodate but it depends on the previous and next guests and the housekeeping schedule. For groups with more than four adults (ages 10 and over) a charge of $30 per night per extra guest will be charged (maximum five guests). Quiet hours are 10:00 p.m.to 7:00 a.m. We asks that if you have more than two bags of trash you make a trip to the dump: Idyllwild Transfer Center at 28100 Saunders Meadow Rd., Idyllwild. Posted hours are M-Th: 7:30-5:30, F: 7:30-4:30, closed Saturday, Sunday and holidays (but we always find them open on Sundays, so go figure).

One of the best vrbo we have stayed in. Clean, well appointed, quiet, and comfortable. This is the first time the departure rules and expectations were simple and sensible. If we’re ever in the area again we will definitely rent again.

Exceeded Expectations

"Sunset Getaway" was a wonderful place to escape from the bustle of "High-Season" in the desert. We enjoyed the cold, fresh, pine-scented air and the solitude of being off the beaten path. The house is beautiful and extremely well-built. It was immaculately clean and very well-provisioned with all we needed for a 3-night stay. The owner/manager couldn't have been more welcoming and responsive.We look forward to returning for a much longer stay. We heartily recommend "Sunset Getaway" without hesitation.

The best of all was Suzanne the Host She was very communicative and responded immediately! We really appreciate her having this space. We will be back for sure! We brought our Siberian Huskies they loved it just as much as we did;) Thank you so much! Definitely book it! You will not be disappointed! it inow our favorite place in Idyllwild

A wonderful getaway

We loved our time in this wonderful cabin. It was the cozy, comforting, quiet and exactly what we were hoping for! We also loved the convenience of hiking trails right close by, and our animals loved the place too! Our host was very responsive and welcoming. Will definitely look to stay again next time we come to Idyllwild.

Wonderful Rental

Fern Valley was the perfect spot for my husband and I and another couple to spend a long weekend! It is in a beautiful location a mile from town. Though there are neighbors, it felt secluded and peaceful. We enjoyed the view from the deck! The layout of the cabin is perfect, with a bedroom and bathroom on either side of the kitchen. The cabin was clean and well stocked. We were very comfortable! I had a fair amount of positive interaction with the property manager, Suzanne. She answered all of my questions and made recommendations. We communicated by text and email. She always responded quickly! We enjoyed our stay and highly recommend this property!

The cabin is clean and cozy and beautifully decorated. It’s located in a a wonderful area with plenty of privacy yet close to town. Suzanne, the host, is the best!!!!

Everything about our stay was beyond wonderful. The cabin is located close to town and nice hiking trails. Everything in the cabin was exactly as was described in the VRBO listing. Communicating with the owner was effortless. We could not have had a nicer stay and look forward to our next visit with fingers crossed that this cabin will be available again. Thank you for a lovely and memorable weekend.

Fantastic!!

Wow! We were so impressed with this property and the location. We are frequent visitors to Idyllwild, but this was our first time staying in the Fern Valley area. Both the home and the surrounding area were so beautiful that we couldn't leave -- luckily the property was available so we extended our stay, and can't wait to return! The home is spotless, and so well equipped! We felt right at home immediately! And communication with the host was stellar! The home is perfect for a couple or a family of 4 or 5. Two very comfortable bedrooms, each with a bathroom, and a large "great room", encompassing the kitchen, dining area and living area. The outdoor wrap around deck was where we spent so much of our time! The beauty and solitude of the surroundings was exactly what we needed to kick off the holiday season! We have already recommended this property to friends. Try it -- you will not be disappointed!
