Honey Bear Cottage in the woods: Walk to town

Honey Bear Cottage was delightful and Elena and Harold are very gracious hosts. The cottage is just adorable and super comfortable. Everything we needed, I mean everything, was there. The house, outside areas, kitchen, and bathroom were so well stocked. The deck was our favorite spot at the beginning and end of the day. Our doggie adored the big backyard. Elena and Harold were excellent communicators before, during, and after our stay. The day after we checked in, there was a weather alert for Idyllwild (cold, rain, and snow). Harold personally called us to make sure we felt safe and to let us know where extra wood was stored for the fireplace. He said to call if we needed anything and I knew he was sincere. We look forward to returning to Honey Bear Cottage and highly recommend the property as well as the kind hosts!

Very clean cabin close to town. Very responsive host. Everything you need for a mountain retreat!

We had a wonderful stay at Honey Bear Cottage. Elena and Harold are outstanding hosts—friendly, highly responsive, and proactive communicators. They even came to our rescue immediately when we managed to lock ourselves out! The cottage is charming, well-stocked, and full of thoughtful amenities. We loved the stone fireplace, and the level 2 charger was a significant plus! Overall, fantastic hosts and home!

What a beautiful, clean and fun place to stay in Idyllwild!!! This cottage was perfect! Super close to town yet far enough to feel isolated. They left us wood for the fire and clear instructions for everything we needed. We’ve stayed in a bunch of homes throughout Idyllwild and this one topped them all!Thank you again! We’ll sure be back!

We had a very nice stay. Great place for a small family and two dogs. Only a 10-minute walk to town. Very clean cabin with large, fenced-in backyard. Host was gracious. A lot of attention to detail, and loved the teddy bear theme.

This is a cute cabin to stay at. It's got all the kitchen amenities you need. The fenced backyard is great for our dog. The host was super responsive and even gave us a bottle of champagne for the new years.

Exactly as advertised, great stay!

We very much enjoyed this well-appointed home! It was a short walk to town which we loved. The kitchen had all we needed. The backyard is huge…it was very cold when we were there so did not enjoy it as much as we’d have liked, but would love to return in the summer. The cottage is very pet friendly and the Ev charger was super helpful for us. We would definitely return!

We booked this cottage for a few days on Thanksgiving. The kitchen had everything we needed from spices, utensils,cooking equipment etc. We could not have asked for a better experience!

We were impressed with the entire environment! We were impressed with how well the fireplace drafted to provide warmth and a cozy atmosphere. It was a perfect yard for our pups. The owners thought of everything to make it a fabulous stay! We will be back!!!

Easy check in, great communication with host, clean house. It was a great getaway.

Beautiful setting

What a great stay with our dogs at this fully fenced-in adorable house. Beautiful deck and a great quiet escape! Great communication from host.

Amazing little cottage. It's right in town where you can walk to the stores and restaurants. Also near easy trails at a regional park. Nicely furnished with everything you need to just stay in a cook a home meal. Although if you want good steak, bring in from home. The grocery store that we went to up there did not have good steak. They also didn't have Julian pie which is something I always find in small towns like this. But they had everything else. The backyard was huge and the dogs loved it. The desk is also pretty big and just a nice place to relax. The hosts were also very nice and attentive. The hands down best thing was the level 2 EV charger to completely eliminate range anxiety when you're up there. I always get range anxiety when I'm so far from civilization, but it was just so nice not having to worry about not having enough charge to just drive around and explore.

Trekked out to the Honey Bear cottage for our daughters birthday, and to get out of LA. We were battling traffic for well over 5 hours, but were greeted with a warm home on a cold night. The place was just great! Huge backyard to play ball/horseshoe, all the amenities needed, centrally located to everything, and the decor. Bears everywhere! The family loved finding bear easter eggs/hidden gems throughout. Would highly recommend. The hosts, Elena and Harold, were super communicative and helpful. Also acidentally left my wedding ring in the bathroom and they reached out to let me know they found it and are mailing it back. How awesome is that?! Really impressed by the kindness and thoughtfulness of Elena and Harold

We had been looking forward to returning to the Honey Bear Cottage and had another great stay -- very cozy, so serene. Can't wait to return.

Dog friendly home in a great location walking distance to town. Our dogs loved sniffing around the large fenced in back yard and we enjoyed watching them from the patio with the mountain views. The fireplace was great for warming up and relaxing after a day out hiking. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything needed for meals at home. We will definitely stay here again the next time we visit Idyllwild.

Elena and Harold are wonderful hosts!

We had a great time at the cabin. My parents went for their 50th anniversary. We had champagne waiting for them and cute flowers on the bed. Cabin was in excellent condition. Only negative would be that the bathroom was much smaller than I had expected. Which made it difficult since my mom needs help when using the restroom. However we made it work and had a great weekend in Idyllwild.

It was wonderful. The fireplace worked great

The check in process was very easy! We got there Friday night and the heater was on and the fire built ready to light was a very nice touch along with chocolates! The cottage is very cozy, clean and comfortable! The backyard is completely fenced in which was nice for our furry babies. The EV charger was also awesome! We've stayed at several different cottages in Idyllwild and this is our new favorite!!

We enjoyed our stay at Honey Bear. Highlights: gated deck and fenced yard to enjoy with our dog, nice towels and sheets, close enough to town to walk yet not too close. Elena and Harold were effective and prompt communicators which we greatly appreciated.

We had a very nice cozy stay. The cabin was everything we hoped for, and had a fully stocked kitchen with everything we needed. Also has a nice deck to enjoy morning coffee. Quiet peaceful location close to town. Great communication from owners. Would definitely return for another visit.

I went with my partner and a friend + 3 dogs and everyone enjoyed their stay. The dogs loved the yard and we loved the comfortable beds and kitchenette that was equipped with pretty much everything we needed

Even more charming than the nice photos can show. So nice to open a door and see big smiles and hear wow’s from the family. The fun bear themed cottage was perfect for small family or two couples to enjoy. Great kitchen and supplies for morning coffee on the deck to enjoy the quiet morning and fresh mountain air. Our little Havanese dog took to the provided dog bed in an instant and now has his own back home. Quiet comfort in the woods we can recommend with 5-stars and big smiles.
