Whimsical Cabin *Spa, Fireplace, Pet Friendly*

The Property
Take a scenic mountain drive up the San Jacinto Mountains just East of Los Angeles and find yourself nestled amongst the pine trees in Idyllwild, California. Welcome to our Whimsical Cabin In The Woods, a beautiful three-bedroom cabin located on a quiet mountain road in one of Southern California's best kept secrets.

The Whimsical Cabin In The Woods is an alluring two story property that has been lovingly restored and redecorated by the homeowner. Cozy on up next to the wood burning stove underneath the wood vaulted ceilings and enjoy the calming atmosphere that only the mountains can provide. The cabin offers a fully stocked kitchen for all of your cooking needs, a beautiful second story principle bedroom with floor to ceiling windows, and a kid's room with a bunk bed and an additional pull-out trundle bed. The property has an additional suite with a day-bed and en suite half-bath located via separate entrance on the third story.

The best part about this cabin is the large charming outdoor spaces. The entire property opens to an expansive backyard that provides great space for enjoying the mountain air. The back yard features an outdoor dining bistro set for 4 and 2 full size picnic tables.

There is an abundance of gorgeous hiking trails perfect for either a quick stroll and a picnic, or more strenuous hikes to epic vistas overlooking the surrounding San Jacinto Mountains. For day trippers looking to explore local Southern California the property is located only about an hour from Palm Springs and about two hours from the world-renowned Joshua Tree State Park.

All as expected charming, cozy, nice and clean
This cabin is what we all needed for a nice weekend. Charm and cozy space yet big enough to accommodate our family. Great private location 3 miles away from downtown Idywild and off the crazy traffic. During our weekend it also snowed and made our stay even more special.

Cutest Cabin in the Woods
We loved our stay! Easy to find and check-in was a breeze. The home has so many thoughtful additions and touches that make it feel like a real home, not stale like many other home rentals. The kitchen was well stocked with equipment and the bed was great. Could have used a good dusting for cobwebs in corners and dust bunnies under the bed, but not a huge deal for us. Would suggest adding some dressers or table top space to the bedroom if possible but we had everything we needed! We would gladly return for another visit.
