About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Beautifully remodeled mountain home with peaceful, private setting

Surrounded by towering pine trees, this Idyllwild retreat for five guests gives you the chance to unwind from the daily grind in the beauty of nature. Whether you're planning on getting out to explore the local attractions, or relaxing with a good book, this home gives you the best of both words.

Located just a block from the gently flowing waters of Strawberry Creek and a mile from Idyllwild Nature Center, you'll have local attractions at your fingertips. During the winter months, a 4x4 vehicle or chains may be required by Highway Patrol or Caltrans, depending on conditions.

Bright and cheery, the welcoming atmosphere is accented with crafted wood touches and plenty of space for everyone to spread out. Put your feet up and lounge on the couch while you connect to the WiFi to check the forecast before your next adventure.

Grab an ice-cold local microbrew and head out onto the private deck to watch the wind swirl through the trees as you fire up the gas BBQ to show off your grill skills. If it's too cold to cook outside, the spacious kitchen has everything you need to whip up a mouth-watering meal. With recently remodeled granite counters, stainless steel appliances, and a gas range, cooking for everyone will be a breeze. Let the dishwasher do the clean up while you unwind with a nightcap on the deck.

When it's time to turn in, this three-bedroom, two-bathroom home has room for up to five guests to stay in comfort. In the master bedroom you'll find a rejuvenating queen-size bed waiting to lull you into a peaceful night of sleep. The second room also boasts a queen-size bed, while the third room has a comfy twin-size bed and plenty of storage.

Spend the day hiking through the picturesque trails at Humber Park. Take the Tahquitz Peak or Devil's Slide trail to wander through the rugged landscape and take in the the stunning sights and sweeping vistas.

Take the quick 10-mile drive to Lake Hemet to get out on the waves. Kayak through the deep blue waters, or paddle along the shore on a SUP to get in some exercise while you enjoy the outdoors. Jump in line at the waterpark play areas on the lake for fun in the sun no matter how old you are!

The perfect spot to leave the hustle and bustle of city behind and revel in the peace of mother nature, this Southern California mountain retreat offers a spot to bask in it all.

Comfortable and quiet.

Went up to sew with a friend for 3 nights. Plenty of comfortable space. WiFi was great. Close enough to town for meals, but had a well appointed kitchen for cooking and a nice deck outside to enjoy the fresh air and trees. Weather was a little warm, but house stayed cool until late afternoon. Fans were provided, which was thoughtful. Will Definitely go back again!

Our Stay

Property was well equipped - kitchen & bathrooms. However TV did not work during our 3day stay. Contacted to resolve daily but only received apologies. Also had a bat attack in the evening that disappeared into a hole at the top of the kitchen cabinet.

False claims of A/C on

Having known there was no air conditioning, we wouldn’t have booked. The overview description on VRBO indicates there is air conditioning, THERE IS NOT! Weekend was 90+ temps so would have been nice. Also, no hair dryer as listed. Other than that mixup, we enjoyed our time.

Great Comfy Place

Our stay was great but it did have some flaws. I will start with the bad first and end with the good. Drive way is not great for an accessible vehicle or any low vehicle as the bump to get in does scratch the bottom. When we first got there, the cabin was really warm and we turned on the fan but it didn't cool it at all. We later found out that the filter for the fan was clogged and dirty and no air flow was going through. Once we removed it, the fan worked great. The good is that the cabin is beautiful and clean. Close to the town, quiet, relaxing, deck was awesome with great shade, doorways were big enough to fit the wheelchair. Bedrooms were amazing and beds were comfortable except for the 1st night when it was hot. Otherwise, I highly recommend it. Great time, great location and great place.

Very good

We were a family of 4, 2 adults and 2 kids (11 and 8). We liked the house, and the kids too. The house is very clean, in every rooms. The kitchen has everything: oil, sugar, salt and pepper of course, coffee filter, etc... Both bathrooms have travel size shampoo-conditionner-soap. The location is good, a 5 min drive from downtown Idyllwild. The nights were very peaceful and quiet. We recommand it.

Could be cleaner.

Need a new picnic table. There were dead flies in the windowsills. There were goldfish crackers under couch and coffee table. Also spiders in the tub. The grill needs a deep cleaning. But is a peaceful and serene and close to town.

Overall house in good condition. Issues were the nest climate control it didn’t work at night.

Nest thermostat didn’t work and no instructions on how to use which is unheard of in a rental. No heat when it did work it only lasted a few minutes then only the fan would work, then you would have to reset thermostat to heat mode. No heat the front bedroom this is unacceptable in 30 degree weather. Wifi didn’t work so I Had to find the router and use default pin located on the bottom of the unit . Pots and pans are old and the Teflon is peeling off need to be replaced . No landline at this property safely issue due to no cell service.

Clean, comfortable but not so cozy.

We arrived at 8pm and there was no heat. We called for assistance and as we waited for a return call my husband and son in law worked on building a fire and getting the "ness heating system" to kick on. It was midnight before we felt warm air coming out and we did not receive a return call. All was well the next day but then at around supper time the wifi went down. Again more calls but no help and so we played games. We were told someone would be there after 9am Sunday morning but as we pulled out at 11am we had not yet seen anyone. It's a shame because everything else about the home was lovely and as promised. There was no notebook of written instruction. I've never stayed at a Home Away without instruction for wifi and heating/air. Online it listed instructions on everything except heat. It was an unfortunate experience.

Gas went OUT!!! FREEZING

Due to apparent poor preparation on the management's behalf, the cabin's propane tank wasn't filled. When we arrived, it was 25 degrees outside. A couple hours after we went to bed, it was clear the heat wasn't working. Luckily, I brought my own firewood or things could have gotten desperate. By morning time, we were popsicles. A maintenance man was on the scene quickly the following morning but only after a horrible frostbitten night. Otherwise, we loved the cabin.

Cozy, private cabin perfect for a relaxing getaway!

The property was clean and very welcoming. Everything was in perfect order when we arrived. WiFi, heat, grill and full kitchen worked wonderfully. Cabin is close to town with ample hiking trails in the surrounding area. We were unable to turn on the air conditioning from the Nest thermostat, but opening windows in the evening helped cool the cabin down. Would absolutely return for another weekend!
