Super close to town but you feel miles away. The best part is you do not have neighbors right next door giving this place some really nice private relaxation. Highly recommend!

Perfect Cabin

This is a great little cabin - nicely furnished and equipped. The cabin is in a quiet neighborhood, basically next door to the Idyllwild Nature Center, and is very private. The bird show on the back deck was great. Absolutely would stay again.

Christmas Getaway

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay during the Christmas holiday. The cabin was charming and had everything we needed. The kitchen was well-stocked so that we were able to cook a festive Christmas dinner and other meals during our stay. Please note there was no grill outside, but the host provided a small "Foreman" type grill for inside use. Quite a few trails were able to be accessed directly from the property which we loved! Another note: A pack of cayote walked close to the house one afternoon. We were very glad our dogs were inside at the time.We would gladly book another stay at this adorable dog-friendly cabin!

Great cabin

The cabin is lovely. Well laid out & nicely appointed. The central heat was nice- we kept it at 65/66 & it was perfect. I brougt wood, but am leaving it for the next guest. As, check in is not until 4pm and we arrived at 4:30 almost dark, a better exterior lighting would have been appreciated. Your flashlights all need batteries. Otherwise, we really enjoyed our stay hre. This was a Christmas present to my mom, who used to live here in Idyllwild.w

Mountain cabin perfect for rest and relaxation

We stayed close to Idyllwild Pines Camp so we could visit with campers and friends during day and retreat to alone time at the cabin for restful sleep. Cabin was perfect for 4 of us adults.

Thank you for such a beautiful cabin. And the location is amazing. My family and I enjoyed our short time there. The stairs are a bit much if you have elderly or people who don’t do stairs, but worth it!!

We had a wonderful time at Elk Horn Retreat. We stayed 5 nights and loved every minute of it. The cabin is beautifully decorated, well furnished, and extremely comfortable. The location is very private and an easy drive to town. Highly recommend this cabin for a stay in Idyllwild.

Relaxing Getaway

We had a wonderful time visiting Idyllwild and staying eat the cabin. It was much more than we could have hoped for. Extremely clean and cozy. My only bit of advice is watch the driveway. It is NOT for a low car or with snow on the ground. It is very steep. Fortunately I brought my pickup and was able to back out of the driveway. We will be back!

When we first stepped foot into the cabin it was immediately apparent the love that was poured into this home; so very warm and inviting. The cabin was completely spotless and very well maintained. We had everything we needed. The incredibly beautiful location can't be beat. There are bobcats that stroll through the woods surrounding the cabin in the early morning and evenings so please be sure to keep your fur babies leashed.

Quick retreat in nature

A perfect home for our two dogs, who enjoyed exploring the beautiful property! Super super comfy beds in both rooms, and the two oversized recliners were so perfect! Convenient location to the Nature Center, and Deer Springs Trailhead. We had a nice walk to the nature center. A quick drive to town. Kitchen is clean, organized, and equipped for meals. We ate most of our meals in home. The deck is comfortable,quiet, and removed from close neighbors. Only suggestion is to have spare tp and facial tissue on hand. We may have missed it. Love the home and we hope to revisit soon!!
