Welcome to Foxtail, a cozy woodland retreat where peaceful mornings among the trees and relaxing evenings in the spa await. Surrounded by Idyllwild’s natural beauty and close to Strawberry Creek and town, this inviting cabin is a wonderful home base for experiencing the mountains.

Inside, gather in the comfortable living room and warm up by the fireplace after a day of exploring. Put on your favorite movie or show, enjoy an easy night in, or prepare a home-cooked meal together inthe fully equipped kitchen.

Foxtail features two bedrooms and accommodates up to six guests. The first bedroom offers a queen bed, while the second features a double-sized bunk bed, making the cabin especially well suited for families and small groups.

Step outside onto the spacious deck surrounded by beautiful tree views. Start your morning with coffee and fresh mountain air, share a meal around the outdoor dining table, or simply settle in and enjoy the peaceful woodland setting. After hiking, exploring town, or spending the day outdoors, slip into the private spa and unwind beneath the trees.

Take a walk to nearby Strawberry Creek, spend the afternoon discovering Idyllwild’s local shops and restaurants, or head out for a day of hiking and exploring. With the heart of town just over a mile away, you can enjoy the peaceful feeling of a cabin in the woods while staying close to everything that makes Idyllwild special.

At the end of the day, return to Foxtail, soak in the spa, cozy up by the fireplace, and enjoy your own relaxing escape in the mountains.

    Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Cute property and really loved the hot tub as well as fireplace. However I would recommend bringing an umbrella or shade as it was extremely hot and could not enjoy the large patio for the one main day I was there. It was dark inside the cabin so not great to spend time in there during the day when so pretty out (but hot). There’s also a lot of dogs in the neighborhood, one right next store that really liked to bark. There needs to be more privacy from neighbors.

Reviewer Comments: Second night the main heater was out and I could not figure out how to start it again. It was a cold night and was in the mid 40's all night. Even with the main heater on, I still needed the bedroom heater. House must not be insulated well as it is hard to stay warm on cold nights.

    The cabin was extremely hot when we arrived. 96degrees, with fans on and some windows open. We found not all windows could be open. On a previous review about how hot the cabin was the property manager indicated there were floor fans provided because of no AC. There were 2 ceiling fans one in the living room and one in a bedroom and a box fan in the one bedroom that the window did not open. The cabin is in need of outside painting and the deck and railing are very rough in need of a good sanding. Lots of potential for splinters. We found the property wasn’t a good spot for our grandson to adventure, there was broken chairs and other stuff laying around. The pictures of the outside are very old. We did have a good stay once we were able to get the cabin to cool down. We didn’t use the spa or table top BBQ. The carpet didn’t seem to have been vacuumed in some time, lots of little sticks and crushed leaves in the carpet. Walking barefoot inside was uncomfortable. The refrigerator and freezer worked great as well as the stove. The only meal would could eat in the kitchen nook was breakfast, as that was the only time it was cool enough to eat in there. We might stay again, but it would be during the fall or early spring.

We loved the jacuzzi its a nice touch being able to hangout outside warm while seeing the trees moving around you from the wind. A very relaxing experience. We would definitely consider coming back again!

    Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is an older cabin with numerous upgrades. It's convenient to Idyllwild's downtown, about two miles away. I have stayed there twice and find it to be a good value at around $100 per night, give or take. The bedrooms are small, but the living area is pretty big. The dirt driveway might be a challenge for some in wet or snow. We also enjoyed $2 Taco Thursday at La Casita.

It's an old cabin that creaks when you walk, has no AC (which is a surprising want given the altitude), and other quirks, but it's cozy, quiet, and did the job!
