If you like the Ahwahnee hotel in Yosemite, you'll love our little Ahwahnee-be cabin. Decorated with mission oak furniture and Indian themed fabrics and Pendletons, this 1953 vintage cabin is just a 10 minute walk into town.

The space:
Walk to county and state parks, hiking trails, bouldering and skate park. A beautiful real river rock fireplace is at the heart of this unique cabin. Large 1/2 acre lot with a badminton court. Downstairs is a game room/theater and large screen TV withsurround sound, DVD, and PS2 game console. We have lots of Xbox 360 games, so bring your own Xbox.

Super Fast Gigabit WiFi.

Another nice feature of this cabin is the real plaster ceiling. Many of the cabins in Idyllwild have the same wood paneling on the ceiling as the walls. This makes for a rather dark room, and a feeling as though one is living in a crate.

Some reviewers have mentioned the word loft for the upstairs bedroom. To be clear, it is a large finished attic room with it's own door to the stairs. The ceiling, however, is 6 feet high, so us tall ones have to stoop a little!

We are on a corner large lot at a 3-way stop three blocks from town. Like any property that close to town, we have occasional cars pass by our cabin. Evenings and nights are mostly dead quiet.

This is a cabin, there is a fireplace, and it is used. There may be a faint smell of smoke when you arrive. We do our best to clean the fireplace every time, but it is not perfect.

$50 pet fee per week or portion thereof.

Other things to note:
We have a window air conditioner in the living room during the summer. There are fans in every room to move that cool air around. Usually we open the windows at night and close them in the mornings on hot days and the place will stay cool most of the day, even without the air conditioner on.

The downstairs space (where the half bath is also) is normally unheated, so it may take a while to warm up with the space heater in the winter. Also, the stairs are a bit steep (up to code in 1953!). There is a handrail, but not recommended for toddlers and the elderly. Please keep the door locked when not in use.

The attic room stairs are also steeper than you may be use to, but they are carpeted with a handrail, and are behind a lockable door. On the hottest summer days, the attic room will get warm, but is well ventilated and always cools off at night considerably.

Sorry, no wood is provided for the fireplace. One can purchase boxes of wood from both markets in town, and there is usually kindling in the box. If not, we may have kindling in boxes at the rear of the property.

Riverside County TOT #71-226.

    I had a wonderful one-night stay at the Ahwahnee-be Vintage Cabin! This charming and cozy retreat is perfectly located just three blocks from town, making it convenient while still feeling peaceful and secluded. The cabin has a great vintage feel, yet it’s well-maintained and thoughtfully equipped for a comfortable stay. The ambiance was warm and inviting, and I truly appreciated the attention to detail in the decor and amenities. It was the perfect spot for a relaxing getaway, and I would definitely stay here again!

    The house was perfect, like staying at a friend’s house. Everything that I needed, I found in the house. The owners checked in on us to make sure everything was okay and were available for questions or issues. We had neither. The walk into town was easy and quick. It was a great place for us and our adult children.

    Incredibly charming cabin in my favorite little mountain town. Nephew, niece and my sister visited from Hawaii and absolutely loved their stay. They have everything covered that you could possibly need, the kids loved having a fire and the Roku TV playing Disney movies in the background was a perfect little touch. Clean, perfectly located and the beds are very comfy! Loved this little diamond and can't wait to book another visit ♥️

    It’s a great cozy cabin with a basic but functional kitchen, great outdoor lounging space and a separate entertainment room with a large TV and video games for the kids. The third bedroom upstairs is a great space for kids (it has a shorter ceiling that might be awkward for taller guests). It’s close enough to downtown Idyllwild to walk if you like, and we didn’t have any issues with noisy neighbors. Overall very comfortable and exactly what we were looking for.

    We have stayed in Idyllwild several times and this was the best cabin! 3 separate rooms with beds (not sofabeds), a short walk to town and very responsive owners. Would definitely recommend!

    Wonderful CLEAN cabin (no bugs!) that is close to everything. Love the driveway that allows straight pull through. No backing out onto the road. Very convenient. Very cute area for kids in the converted attic. We will be back!

    We had a lovely time at this cabin. It's super close to town and shopping. The property is beautiful and spacious...plenty of room for kids to explore. The cabin has everything you need. The Roku TVs were a nice touch and the man cave downstairs is great for teens. The owners were great with communication when we had a question. We enjoyed our 1st trip to Idyllwild and will definitely be back.

    Flew in from Idaho to visit family. This cabin and the host was amazing. Close to town and communicating with any questions i had with owner was answered quickly. Love the property, plenty of space. The media room was a hit with the grandchildren. Would definitely recommend.
