Nice and Spacious
It is onenof the nicest cabine we have stayed in Idyllwild and we have stayed in plenty. It has beautiful scenery and we even saw deers passing by the backyard. The only negative is the stairs to get to the cabin.

Not what we were expecting
Myself & 5 friends rented this cabin for my bachelorette & was excited based on all the wonderful reviews. When we showed up it was storming & some of the lights weren’t working so we decided to call the property managers in case it wasn’t the storm that took the lights out. It took us a bit to get ahold of them because they gave me the wrong contact phone number. The call itself was a little rough, Kristin (property manager) was talking to one of my girls about the lights & said that we shouldn’t have had a bunch of electronics on at once when all we did was walk inside and turn the lights on. You could also hear her taking to her husband in the background trying to figure out what to do. We eventually checked the breaker in the morning & eventually got it working though. Then when we went to use the dishes they weren’t clean & had spots or dried food all over them. We ended up hand washing the dishes we were going to use before using them. The upstairs patio doors weren’t locked when we got there & the wind blew them open. My girls were rightfully upset that the unlocked doors were a safety issue but thankfully nobody was inside. I was told one bed was wobbly while another was so firm she felt like she was sleeping on the floor. I don’t think anyone slept through the whole night. One of my girls decided to use the couch that pulled out into a bed inside the yurt & said it had a lot of dead bugs in it. In the welcome docs it says a cleaning crew comes to the cabin after check out but we didn’t experience a very clean stay. The cabin itself and the views are beautiful but whenever my girls look back on my bachelorette all they can talk about is all the problems we experienced.

Heaven in the tree tops…
Magnificent views highlighted a magical stay in idylwild. The home has a awesome newly renovated kitchen, and other fun amenities. Close to town but not to close…it’s a must stay if you find yourself in idylwild. Make sure you have breakfast on the deck with the woodpecker and other wildlife…super cool!

Quiet and serene
Beautiful location, my favorite thing about this home was the views. We stay in Idyllwild every year for thanksgiving and this home had the best views of all the places. I also loved how communicative the property managers were with me. They left us with several bottles of wine which was a nice touch of thoughtfulness. There was plenty of seasonings and items for cooking.
The area was very quiet. A perfect thanksgiving getaway from all the hustle n bustle. We definitely be back
