Secluded Cozy Cottage: Walk to Town, Private

Welcome to Cozy Cottage, as seen on HGTV’s Roast My Rental! Featured in the premiere episode, “Cottage Come Back,” this charming Idyllwild retreat received an incredible transformation that brought fresh style, personality, and thoughtful touches to this cozy mountain getaway.

Tucked among the towering pines, Cozy Cottage gives you the peaceful, private mountain setting you’re looking for while keeping you close enough to walk into town for dining, shopping, coffee, and exploring everything Idyllwild has to offer.

Inside, the newly refreshed space blends mountain charm with a fun, updated design. The home sleeps up to six guests and features two bedrooms with king-size beds, a loft, one bathroom, and a washer and dryer, making it a comfortable choice for couples, families, or a getaway with friends.

Step outside onto the spacious deck and settle into the slower pace of mountain life. Start your morning with coffee beneath the trees, come home and unwind after a day exploring Idyllwild, or spend your evenings enjoying the fresh mountain air and stargazing.

Whether you’re escaping for a quiet weekend in the mountains or coming to experience the cottage you saw transformed on HGTV, Cozy Cottage is ready for its comeback, and your stay.

Loved the Mountain View and the outside sitting areas. Also like being just a short drive from town yet felt like we were in the woods with privacy. The kitchen had everything we needed. Did not see a hot tub? Was in the listing but we did not see one - but it wasn’t important to us.

It was a place to stay. It had the basics. However, the heater didn’t quite make it to the rooms so we were cold each night. No wood stove was present. No dishwasher either. The house was to different from the photos. I know there was a statement saying to bad, but with how many things were different, it should warrant updated photos. The table was different, couches were different, carpet was different. Lights were different, no wood stove, no dishwasher. Oh, and the neighbors have a horse. Who doesn’t abide by the quiet hours. So at 3am each morning, we got to listen to the horse 5 feet from the window. Oh, and the deluxe package for 199 bucks. That was a joke. Maybe 60 bucks worth of cheap wine and candy. The “assorted” nuts were honey toasted almonds. The dozen roses were real, but the pedals on the bed were as fake as the listing. Total waste of money. We won’t be staying here again.

Second stay with my family and it was wonderful

This was my second time staying here with my family and it was perfect. The cabin was well equipped and we didn't need to bring anything besides our clothes! I was able to cook all meals in the kitchen. The location was perfect and close to town but far enough away from noise to make a peaceful experience. Will go there again!

Lovely mountain retreat

Beautiful property and very clean and comfortable home. We loved the spacious second-floor great room with large windows looking out into the trees and mountains. Both bedrooms open onto the large front deck where we enjoyed morning coffee. The jacuzzi tub was wonderful after some long days and we were very pleased with the good quality cooking ware and well-stocked kitchen. Definitely hope to come back again.

Good Location but so so rental

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very unhappy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This property is close to town which is nice but I didn't see the value. For what I paid, I feel ripped off. Everything was old and run down. All of the furniture was incredibly uncomfortable. The beds especially were terrible. I left a day early just to get a good nights sleep. Sad inventory of kitchen equipment, although they had decent pots/pans and coffee/espresso maker. My stay was during Christmas so I did appreciate the christmas tree. Other visitors should note the path up to the house is all cobble, extremely uneven and not very safe. One of us ended up with a sprained ankle which seemed of no concern to the rental agency.

little get-away

Cabin is quiet and cozy-secluded area surrounded by trees- cabin a bit run down-remote control issues, no batteries or low batteries- damp towels hanging in bathroom-damp sheets and towels in dryer- kitchen and bath very clean Check-in would have been better at 3:00 and honestly too far to walk to town where you would have to walk on the main road without a sidewalk, unsafe.
