This property is beautiful. Our stay was cut short due to safety concerns, specifically with the smoke detection. At the time, the host was unable to respond to the issues. We would stay here again if the issues were rectified.

This cabin surpassed all of our expectations! Hands down the cutest, coziest, and most comfortable cabin I have ever visited. The host was very responsive, the check-in process was simple, and the cabin was an absolute dream! We enjoyed the hot tub, it was very clean and hot! We had fires in the fireplace every night while we watched Christmas movies. And we got peanuts from the village market and fed all of the beautiful grey squirrels and birds around the back deck. After leaving, we all talked about making this an annual destination because we loved it so much!

It was home away from home. The home has a great special energy to it , and peaceful look on the inside and outside MAKES IT A HOME AWAY FROM HOME.This is the 3rd or 4th time we been here . We absolutely love it! Next visit I will bring my kids. Usually, it is only me and my wife. But I will make it a point to bring my kids for the experience.

We arrived to a filthy place. The housekeeper hadn't come. Dirty slept in sheets and bedding. Towels unwashed. Shower didn't look like it had ever been cleaned. Kitchen Faucet was broken off so no kitchen sink available. Cell phones don't work there so we drove into town got service and got the owners voice mail. We decided to leave and find other accommodations.

Everything with this property was 5 stars, with one exception, the TV. The service is thru Spectrum. I'll admit that I am technically challenged , but it took me hours trying to figure out how to operate it. The remote control was very strange and very unresponsive to the TV. There was no volume control on either the remote or even the TV itself. On some channels it was so loud it hurt our ears. Very frustrating and annoying. Except for the TV everything else was great, we enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay there again.

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.
