We had a great 10 days. Most of the time it was just my wife and I but our daughter and husband joined us for a couple of days. We loved the property with plenty of squirrels, jays and chipmunks. The description is spot-on and everything was as expected. Location is ideal for access to the town and restaurants. Kitchen was well-stocked if one wanted to eat in. We look forward to our next visit!

Fabulous Property!

Would come back to this property over and over! Location is perfect with a short walk to get into town for restaurants, shops and small town feel. The hosts were so communicative in every way.... we travel with 2 Golden Retrievers and they made their stay so comfortable as well! Large yard to play in and welcoming treats, dog bowls, paw wipes too! Kitchen is very well stocked with just about everything you could use or want! Can't say enough about this perfect place to stay!!!

Location and comfortable

This property is wonderful! Iā€™ve been going to Idyllwild for years and have stayed many places. The location of this home is perfect and the grounds are interesting and fun!! Three bridges over a seasonal creek. The beds were comfortable and bathrooms were nice. The couches and fireplace combo were perfect for us. Being about to bring the dogs was convenient and the house was very clean and didnā€™t smell like any pets or anything. We lived it all!! The kids especially loved the lava lounge and extra games.

Very close to town

My daughter wanted to spend her 13th bday in a cabin that was within walking distance of town. Boy did this fit the bill! Very confidante home and the 13 year old girls loved the lift area. In the warmer weather, i can imagine the yard is so amazing and inviting for adventure but we're a bunch of babies so it was too cold for us to spend much time out. I would urge anyone wanting to stay at a place to check out the town to stay here!

Great Location!

All went well on our stay. Property is in great location, close to town and hiking trails(drivable). Home is older, feels rustic but everything worked. We used the wood burning fireplace every day and it was a godsend on the cool nights and mornings! Great communication with host Melissa, very quick with any inquiries.

Ease and Comfort

Perfect location - in town, but off the path, so quiet and woodsy but walkable to everything. The cleanest cabin I have ever stayed in, it was immaculate. Everything is labeled and all questions answered by binder and signs in the cabin. Very comfortable and inviting space. Dog and family friendly.

Idyllwild writers retreat, perfect place for comfortable, clean, pleasant lodging close to town

Cheerful, clean welcoming place on quiet street about 1 minute walk to town (visit the ice cream shop!) 3 minute walk to our writers retreat lodge. So convenient for us! Managers were friendly, easy to get hold of, quickly responded to questions. Layout is private master bedroom with bathroom, two bedrooms on other side of LR with shared bathroom. Kitchen nicely stocked, not just with all the cookware, cutlery, mugs, gadgets etc etc. youā€™d need, but also with nice array of basic spices, and life-saving ā€¦. coffee. Bathroom towels are of a high standard and bedding wonderfully comfortable. Cons: Lots of windows but dim at night, common to the area (efficiency bulbs). Bring your own shampoo. Bottom line: Iā€™ve stayed in other places in the area and would definitely come back to this one. :-)

Wonderful Getaway

The Cedar Street house is great... perfect location, walkable to everything, beautiful surrounds and views and even with the very close proximity to the village feels tucked away in its own little pocket of forest. The house was immaculate and very well appointed with supplies for our family of five and furball companion. Would definitely stay again.
