Cabin in the Woods

If you have a fear of spiders this is not your place. We killed ten Wolf spiders the size of a quarter (I have the pics to prove). The refrigerator is extremely old and very loud and sounds like a motorcycling idling when running and woke me up all night long. Also the decor is very mystical and creepy. This stay was anything but peaceful and was my worst rental EVER!!!

Classic Cabin

We loved our overnight stay here! It's a simple, charming, mountain classic that looks like it hasn't changed in decades -- which I love. Really enjoyed using the fireplace (it got down in the 40s at night, even in September)! Super-convenient to town and gave us the mountain vibes we needed for this last-minute visit to Idyllwild.

Quaint cabin

The area and the cabin was very nice and enjoyable. Great neighborhood, short walk to the center of town (about 20 minutes). If you are tall like myself (I’m 6’3”), you will need to be careful going up and down the stairs - there is a light fixture you will likely run into on the second floor. Otherwise, the place is just the right size for a cabin in the woods.

Great fireplace. Comfortable furniture. A few suggestions: draughts around entrance doors. Big ole dead tick stuck in screen above sink. No bulb in bedroom small lamp. Put bird seed out. What? No birds? Bottom line. A wonderful 4 days together!

Very Satisfied, Rustic, Peaceful, Quiet and RELAXING

We all enjoyed the property. My only negative was it is about a 0.7 mi walk (15 minutes) to the main part of town but the Mile High Cafe is a few blocks. BUT, being a little further away also made it very quiet. Cute place and seemed well maintained.

Beautiful rustic cabin located in a beautiful quiet forest area. I would have rated this 5 stars except for the fact the bed and sofas were also rustic and extremely uncomfortable. A nice bed along with some comfortable places to sit would have made this the perfect vacation place.

Update😊

We celebrated our 29th wedding anniversary at your cabin. Loved almost everything about it. Beds need replacing and so does the couch. So cozy except for those things. We brought games and a lap top but would have loved to watch a movie on our time with a TV. Shower was ammmmaaaazzzziiiinnnngggg. Loved the pressure. Would love to revisit if those things could be updated. Otherwise it’s worth the extra money to stay elsewhere.

The setting was beautiful! The property needs work! The shower floods and hot water last about 4-5 minutes not enough time to wash yourself and hair before turning to cold water! The stairs to the loft are very steep and the railing is only half way up the stairs! Not very safe! The furniture needs updating especially the sofa!

Good spot but...

I like this place overall - large property, easy to find, plenty of room inside - and would have considered staying again. After reading other reviews about the shower, I assumed it was not an issue but it ran out of hot water within a few minutes and very cold water sprays you from the cold knob. Since you can't communicate thru VRBO with the property manager, Vacasa, I had to track them down through their site...another step I found inconvenient. They were friendly and prompt but apparently a cold shower was only worth a very small refund to the Local Operations Manager, which is less than 5% of my entire stay. It's too bad, I would have recommended this and it's a nice property but the management could be improved. I don't usually make these notes but it's fair to give people a heads up and I hope the property manager is ensuring everything is working properly ongoing.

Snowy stay

We paid a premium for last minute booking over Christmas for a family of 4 adults getaway. It was perfect. Cabin had character ( a holdover 60’s vibe with some unusual art on walls), homey, warm, quiet. Clean but lived in. Management company available 24 hrs a day sent out a handyman same day (Christmas Eve) to fix nonworking oven. All in all very enjoyable stay in a foot of fresh powder.

Quick Get a way!

We live in Palm Springs. The heat was cranking up to 117 degrees we needed a reprieve. We found this little cabin on VRBO, it fit the bill. The rate was great and it was an easy drive, quite enjoyable actually. The cabin is clean and cute. The deck is very large and it sits privately over looking the backyard. The kitchen is small but adequate. The stove is awesome! Keep in mind the stairs are tight and steep. The beds are not the best I have to admit. The shower is tight and the water pressure is very low. It was definitely the best bang for our buck and we extended our stay. The fresh air was the best. We will be back!

Nice for a short stay while hiking around Idyllwild

Great location, very clean cabin with thoughtful amenities (great selection of books and games!). Even though we didn't use the fireplace at all, the entire cabin smelled strongly of campfire smoke (except the bathroom, which smelled like gas). The beds were very squeaky but comfortable and the oven was not operational. Fortunately there are lots of great restaurants within walking distance.
