The Property
Take a scenic mountain drive up the San Jacinto Mountains just East of Los Angeles and find yourself nestled amongst the pine trees in Idyllwild, California. Welcome to our Whimsical Cabin In The Woods, a beautiful three-bedroom cabin located on a quiet mountain road in one of Southern California's best kept secrets.

The Whimsical Cabin In The Woods is an alluring two story property that has been lovingly restored and redecorated by the homeowner. Cozy on up next to thewood burning stove underneath the wood vaulted ceilings and enjoy the calming atmosphere that only the mountains can provide. The cabin offers a fully stocked kitchen for all of your cooking needs, a beautiful second story principle bedroom with floor to ceiling windows, and a kid's room with a bunk bed and an additional pull-out trundle bed. The property has an additional suite with a day-bed and en suite half-bath located via separate entrance on the third story.

The best part about this cabin is the large charming outdoor spaces. The entire property opens to an expansive backyard that provides great space for enjoying the mountain air. The back yard features an outdoor dining bistro set for 4 and 2 full size picnic tables.

    This place is wonderful: fully equipped, games, puzzles, even firewood. The hot tub was an added bonus! I was able to reach the owner within minutes and she responded kindly.

    We had a wonderful time in Idyllwild! We came up the mountain to enjoy the Celtic Fair at Hurkey Creek, which was a lot of fun and ended up having a terrific time in the quaint city of Idyllwild!

    This was a charming and comfortable place for a few nights. The hot tub was well maintained (chlorine at the right level!) and a quiet neighborhood. Thank you!

    The cabin was well appointed and supplied. The hot tub was a nice perk. We appreciated being able to heat most of the rooms individually. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful. All the admin was easy and efficient, and the owner reached out personally.
