About this property

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

Fern Valley--the Perfect Spot for Families or Couples Any Time of Year

In the beautiful Fern Valley area of Idyllwild, the home is bright, sunny and open, and the perfect mountain getaway for a group of friends, one or two couples, or a couple with children.

Built in 2002, the home has all the modern conveniences (forced air heating, air conditioning, gas fireplace, microwave, dishwasher, electric stove and oven) and every comfort you'd want in that getaway weekend. Everything is on the first floor (there is a loft above the kitchen but nothing is up there) and the two bedrooms have queen beds and their own bathrooms with showers. There is a washer/dryer as well. The bedrooms and living room are carpeted for cozy warmth, and the kitchen, bathtooms, dining area and hallways are tiled. The huge deck has a table and chairs and is the perfect place to sit out and watch the wildlife and incredible sunsets.

The road to the home as well as the driveway are wide and well-maintained. It's only 1.4 miles to the center of town, and even less to many beautiful hiking trails, from easy to moderate to strenuous levels of difficulty. We even discovered the home is about 75 yards from the popular and easy Ernie Maxwell Trail, which also runs to and from Humber Park.

When we come up to Idyllwild we find our weekends last very long as time seems to go slower when we're relaxing and simply enjoying the beauty of the area.

Check-in time is 4:00 p.m. and check-out time is 11:00 a.m. For earlier or later times please ask me and we try to accommodate but it depends on the previous and next guests and the housekeeping schedule. For groups with more than four adults (ages 10 and over) a charge of $30 per night per extra guest will be charged (maximum five guests). Quiet hours are 10:00 p.m.to 7:00 a.m. We ask that if you have more than two bags of trash you make a trip to the dump: Idyllwild Transfer Center at 28100 Saunders Meadow Rd. They are open from 8:00-4:30 Thursdays through Mondays and are closed Tuesdays, Wednesdays and holidays.

Overall stay was great! The place was clean and had everything we needed. Suzanne was very responsive and was kind enough to offer to fix the fireplace so we can have more of a comfy stay. The only mistake we encountered was taking on the 30 yard uphill hike near the cabin. It was extremely rocky since it was so dry.

Beautiful home in quiet neighborhood

This is a beautiful home set on the hillside amongst the trees. All amenities and conveniences are there to make your stay so enjoyable! The deck is perfect for relaxing with your coffee while feeding peanuts to the squirrels romping and chasing each other. It was perfect!! A truly beautiful home in a beautiful mountain community.

Better than expected

What a wonderful place! The whole house was very clean and well maintained and felt like a real home rather than a vacation rental.Everything to cook meals was available and the WiFi was fast and reliable.Sitting on the deck was the real highlight. It was very quiet and peaceful and felt like sitting in a tree house. If you go in the summer definitely bring bug spray, because the mosquitoes were no joke.Location was perfect to go into town. Everything was less than a 10 minute drive away.

Exceeded Expectations

"Sunset Getaway" was a wonderful place to escape from the bustle of "High-Season" in the desert. We enjoyed the cold, fresh, pine-scented air and the solitude of being off the beaten path. The house is beautiful and extremely well-built. It was immaculately clean and very well-provisioned with all we needed for a 3-night stay. The owner/manager couldn't have been more welcoming and responsive.We look forward to returning for a much longer stay. We heartily recommend "Sunset Getaway" without hesitation.
