Great home with amazing view

We liked the decors and light from all the large windows. We enjoyed being able to use the spa and fire table while looking at the view. Home was comfortable and super clean.

Comfortable Home with Amazing Views!!!

My spouse and I went up to Idyllwild (from LA) for the some peace and quiet and this home was perfect!! For 4 days, we sat on the deck and watched the hummingbirds, hawks, and the occasional coyote! The house was clean and well appointed. My only suggestion would be to have 2 umbrellas on the deck for the summer sun. There were only 2 of us so we were able to be in the shade, but if more than 2 people were on the deck someone would have to be in the sun. It was just so, so peaceful.

Beautiful View

Beautiful view and the hot tub is nice. Definitely needs a little attention. The AC didn’t blow cold at all and of course it was 90 degree while we were there. Also, the place needs to be sprayed for ants. There’s ants everywhere inside the house. Other than that it’s a pretty great property. I would definitely consider going again if they fix the AC.

Idyllwild

Great location. Clean and well decorated. Couple suggestions that would make it a little less obviously a rental-only property: towel racks for bathrooms, toilet paper roll holder, clothes hangers in closets, more utensils. Simple and cheap additions. Also tip for those staying in master bedroom on ground floor: if anticipate cold in the pm, make sure the heater is active and on in the unit above. That might mean opening some of the windows in the unit above to cool it off and activate the heater in the early evening.

Our favorite Idyllwild Cabin

We’ve stayed up in Idyllwild at several different properties over the years. We’d love to buy a place up there. If we were to buy a place, this is exactly the property we would want. (If the owners ever decide to sell, please contact me!!). Beautiful view, light and bright, very clean. Love the sparse decor. It had everything we needed except a tea kettle. Very private, very quiet. We can’t wait to return. 4 minute drive to town.

Delightful Location with a couple of blemishes

Great views, nice part of Idyllwild. You'll have to draw straws for the downstairs suite. Very underpowered A/C, temperature locked jacuzzi (too hot) and neighbors barking dog detract from the experience.

Beautiful views!

This Idyllwild house was a perfect getaway with friends. The location was so relaxing and quiet. The wrap around deck had ample seating, a nice fire pit lounge area, and below ground hot tub. The hot tub was awesome but the temp didn’t get too hot. The entire house was clean, cozy, and the kitchen was stocked with the right tools and appliances. Luckily we went on a weekend when the weather was getting cooler (around 73-77) so we didn’t rely on the AC that much. But if it was in the 90s+, the AC might not be enough. We didn’t see any vents in the bedrooms. They had fans available. Overall great spot. We definitely want to go back.

Jaw dropping view!

The place has been nicely updated with an open feel and beautiful views from main living area. Large deck with stunning views and nice hot tub to enjoy. 3rd bedroom is detached under main level is large and has been beautifully remodeled. Great location. Small issue was very low quality and quantity of kitchen items.

Cozy getaway with a view unlike any other

This cabin getaway was exactly what my family needed. It was tucked away right on the southern Idyllwild, and the view couldn’t have been more stunning. I would love to stay here again.

Idyllwild overlook

The house, bedrooms and kitchen were all great size for 4 people. It was clean and nicely furnished. The kitchen was minimally stocked but we managed. Should've bought another cutting board but at least we brought a kettle for our tea. Nice to sit on deck with a cup in the early morning. Quite a few wasps tho.

Amazing is an understatement!

Thank you so much for having us! Just as everyone has mentioned this place was amazing! The view was spectacular! Checking in was super easy! Only interacted with staff because I didn't read my email/messages clearly and asked for the code to the bottom section when it had already provided. 😅 Otherwise the home was clean, stocked accordingly, we weren't missing anything. I will say if you stay at the bottom you will hear all the footsteps coming from upstairs. I wish the master room was connected to the rest of the upstairs someway but its manageable. Will definitely keep this on my list for any future reference and highly recommend staying here!
