Property was as advertised. If you want a cozy cabin tucked away in a quiet area of Idyllwild this would be an excellent choice. We only used 1 of the 3 bedrooms and had no problem sleeping (mattress quality is always one of my biggest concerns). Grounds are well kept and we used the hot tub every evening after our hikes. A short drive into town and to the major trail heads. Check in was seamless and everything worked in the cabin.

Absolutely wonderful

We lucked out with a snow weekend. It was magical- the location was great a quiet neighborhood-hot tub was clean and kept hot for us to use the 1st night. The cute little clawfoot tub was a little too short but for kids it would be perfect for sure!! I loved how cozy everything felt I think the couch might need to be updated soon the bed was very comfortable I would have liked to burn wood in the fireplace but can understand about mess and fire risks. The duraflame log just wasn’t quite the same. I didn’t find the microwave until the last day it’s above the oven in the cupboard I’m short so I wouldn’t have been safely able to use it anyway owner was quick to respond to all our questions (only a few) I plan on renting again in the summer or fall with a group of friends to experience all the magic the property has to offer

Beautiful Storybook Home

Property looked great online, but exterior was dirty, many light fixtures were either improperly wired, flickering lights or missing light blubs, unsafe to walk around after dark. Pots and pans in kitchen were advertised, however they were the non-stick variety with most significantly scratched making them unsafe to use. TV was new and not registered to owner, requiring renter to create an account with Samsung to use TV. Major inconvenience.

Cozy Winter Cabin

Wonderful stay in this cozy and clean cabin. Enjoyed the hot tub. The cabin had plenty of cookware to make our own meals. Very close to hiking trails and town. Easy parking. Beds were comfortable but mattresses were very warm - the host recommended low temperature settings for overnight and we were comfortable sleeping. Might be too warm in the summer. Overall a great experience

Magical stay

My family and I had a wonderful stay at this magical cabin over the Easter weekend! We arrived to a surprise of heavy snowfall, which made it even more beautiful. I can’t even describe the landscape of this little hidden gem. The beautiful creek with waterfalls running right behind the house. We spent hours playing in the snow, gazing at the creek, having cozy fires and enjoying the hot tub. The house was clean and comfortable, the location was close to town, but secluded away in a quiet neighborhood. The perfect place to relax, getaway, and get your nature fix. We will definitely be coming back.

Beautiful location. Needs cleanliness

Deers playing in the creek, great location. Dead rat under pillow in bed upon bedtime. Hot tub had a very bad scent, and wasn’t clean. It needed a full cleaning of filter and chemicals (we own a hot tub at home). Contacted owner regarding this and response wasn’t accommodating.

Idyllwild trip

The house is located in a beautiful area and has been remodeled. It is next to the river which makes the view from the deck very nice. The deck however was not clean and had spider webs all over. The BBQ grill was dirty. The jacuzzi cover was dusty and had not been cleaned in a long time. Jacuzzi was lick warm and did not work well at all. Inside, was old but nice. However the living room has low ceiling and not good lighting at all. The bedrooms were nice but mattresses were not comfortable. There were wet towels and sheets in the dryer. I don’t think the house is worth the nightly cost.
