Inside, the cabin features high open-beamed pine ceilings, a cozy wood-burning fireplace, and a warm, welcoming living space. The sliding door opens to the deck, creating easy indoor-outdoor living.
The home offers a quaint kitchen, a comfortable living room, two queen bedrooms, and a full bathroom, all on one level. With just two steps up into the home, Tahquitz Chalet provides easy access while still feeling like a tucked-away mountain retreat.

Rustic chalet, comfortable. Clean, beautiful area
Rustic property in the beautiful Idylwide. Very quiet, clean, generous with towels, but advise you to bring hand soap! Was very cold as elevation is greater than 6,000 feet, but the owner generously provided heaters which worked very well. Very helpful and responsive, beautiful area!!

The property is nice. A little old bit it has everything you need. There are some appliances old like the toaster and some pans. The tv and wifi work very well.

Great spot! 70's/80's vibe was cool.
Location was good. Was real short drive to town. You could start your hikes from the house, if you wanted. You can buy wood for fireplace for cheaper in town, than the delivery service, not to mention, you also have to order in advance for the weekends. There is a propane grill on site and you still need the fire permit to use it. This place has a basketball hoop too, but I couldn't find a basketball...so bring your own. Overall, I would book again, except, I would bring my dog next time. The town is very dog friendly!
