Great place to relax

We had an absolutely fantastic time staying at the cabin. The communication with the host was outstanding. The cabin was very cozy and clean. Enjoyed the beautiful views from the deck. Expect a bit of a hike from your car to the cabin.

1925 Lodge

We loved staying at The Lodge. Very cozy, clean, and welcoming. Just a short drive to Idyllwild and hiking trails. We enjoyed the sunrise as we sat drinking coffee, chatting by the fire in the incredibly hot fire stove. The beds were super comfortable. We even had robes to wear to the hot tub. Thank you Alex for being available for questions. You are the best host!!

Hidden gem.

I have to start with mentioning how exceptional the owners of the property are. They are kind, thoughtful, detailed and unbelievably responsive. The lodge was perfect for my weekend getaway. It is charming, cozy and current all at the same time. All necessary kitchen appliances, bathroom fixtures, etc. are newer so you have all you need. They have added so many thoughtful touches, that enhanced my stay, that I truly felt cared about. I was able to bring my dog and they cared about him just as much. They even have extra dog beds if needed! The view. You have to see it for yourself. Sunrise, sunset or watching the stars in the sky from the hot tub will leave you and and grateful. I can't wait to go back.

Definitely tucked away! But adorable area!

The hosts were super nice and accommodating! We were able to check in early which was great. The property was cute. The hot tub was nice to have. We really enjoyed the wood burning stove. Upstairs loft has low ceilings so be careful going up/down stairs and using the upstairs bathroom (it’s very tiny). Overall we enjoyed the stay a lot and the cooler Weather on the holiday! Only major downfall is that The entrance was more of a trek than expected. There is no real clear path, but up the side of an unkept hill. We had a ton of stuff so it was pretty inconvenient to get it all up and down. The info about this is at the very bottom of the listing, wish it would’ve been more upfront

Great Cabin Home in a Really Special Location.

The house itself is fantastic. Clean, cozy, and well-stocked with most basic items that you would need. The highlight of the cabin is the deck which is an excellent social space. Plenty of seating options. Did not get a chance to use the hot tub but it is a great feature as well. I loved sitting out in the morning with a cup of coffee and reading the photo history book of the area that was sitting next to the fireplace in the mornings. That brings me to the location. Holy cow. The views in the photos already looked great but we were not prepared for the absolute stunning beauty of the panoramic vistas that you can see from the cabin and the deck. I would go so far as to compare it to something you might see in Yosemite but right here in the Inland Empire. You absolutely must brave the cold nights to get a fantastic look at the stars. You’re close to Idyllwild town. Alex is excellent with communication and the setting is magic. The roads are a little dicey if you’re not used to mountain driving and the hike up to the house is a bit of a challenge while carrying bags and heavy items but it’s all worth it. You really cannot go wrong.

We had a wonderful time

My family and I stayed in this beautiful cabin for a weekend and we enjoyed every minute. It provides such a relaxing environment with such beautiful views. We enjoyed the hot tub and hammock very much. We even got some snow! You can tell the owners take pride in hosting as everything was easy, clean, and enjoyable for us. The kitchen is well stocked which is much appreciated.

This property was cozy and comfortable, tastefully decorated, a great view, and a wonderful space for the four of us. Our hosts were responsive and relaxed! Thank you for treating or family like guests and not a transaction! Note to folks - if you have mobility issues, the charm of the walk to the property might be a challenge - but otherwise it was the restful and relaxing weekend we needed. Thank you, Alex and Deborah!

We did a quick weekend getaway to relax, hike and recharge, and that is just what the cabin provided for us. Alex was extremely communicative and gave us all of the information that we needed to have a great stay. The cabin was comfortable and "cabiny", and that is a good thing. The kitchen was fully stocked with all the pots, pans and utensils you would need should you decided to cook, which we did. AC is available, but we ended up not needing it at all. We simply opened a couple of the windows and used the ceiling fan. The hot tub was also welcomed after a long day of hiking. If we are ever going to be back in the area, we will keep The Lodge on our list.

Nice but hard to get to.

The place was nice. The Hot Tub was great. Good kitchen with good amenities. Everything was good, but… getting to the house one a one way street, you have to go down and turn around to get up the hill to park. Then there is a hike 200 feet and up 30 ft elevation that’s winding, gravel, and dirt. I had to make 6 trips up and down with my food and suitcases. If this was a place you would park and take your things in 20 feet on the same level, I would stay again. I’m older so this was hard for me. If you’re younger and don’t mind the hike up to it, I think you will like it.

We had an amazing time at this home. My family has been coming to Idyllwild twice a year since 2017, and this location is definitely in our top 3 stays. The views are stellar, the house is loaded with essentials, and the hot tub is perfect for taking in the sunsets. The cabin is about 100 years old, and it retains its charm while placing you in a period that makes you appreciate its calming, remote locale.The owners were very responsive and easy to work with. I’ll definitely come back here in the future and recommend to others.

We came up for the tree lighting ceremony and it was a perfect spot! The lit trees in town were visible from the cabin, such a beautiful view! It is definitely an older cabin but the bathrooms were redone nicely and the kitchen has updated appliances. The hosts were super responsive. The walk up to the cabin from the parking is a little steep if you are old and feeble it may be difficult however it added so much fun for us! waking up in the loft with that view is amazing!
