Idyllwild-Pine Cove, California
It's summer! Idyllwild is sunny and warm.
Although the cabin(s) are updated with modern amenities and conveniences, it is still a 1938 uninsulated structure. There are fans in each room, and an air conditioning unit in the main room (though I don’t list that amenity because it’s not as robust as central air).
Namaya Sky (means to feel the sky) is nothing short of a magical escape that sits on an acre of private property on the edge of the mountain. Once used as a summer reprieve by the Cahuilla Native Americans of the desert, it backs up to the National Forest boundary, so it feels like the whole mountain is yours.. And the view... well it will take your breath away.
There are 3 cabins on the property. The main cabin, Maqi House (means 'gathering place'), has a fully equipped modern kitchen, gas fireplace, large common area, 3/4 bathroom (shower, no tub) and a bedroom with a king (or two twins if requested in advance).
The backside of the cabin opens to a roomy deck with a gas fire pit that looks out on THE VIEW.
Along the deck, it's a short walkway to the upper cabin, Kiff Kichi (means 'sudden burst of joy' house), which has a queen bed with wonderful views.
The lower cabin, Wiwish Cabin, is not included in the rental unless otherwise arranged prior to arrival and not available in winter.
It's possible to go your entire stay without seeing another human being if you choose. Or take a short drive (3 miles) to the most adorable town of Idyllwild.
Spend your days hiking trails (including the famous PCT) or hang back and barbecue on the grill. At night, gather around the fire pit, gaze at the stars, and roast marshmallows.
If you are looking for a place to rest, relax and recharge, look no more. This property is so peaceful with a perfect view of the mountains. Will be back again.
We returned to this property as we remembered it was just perfect for us: quiet, clean , beautiful views, and offered endless hiking opportunities nearby… And.. once again,,, It had not failed us! Shelly is very welcoming, and we felt like we were coming home… Thank you!
We loved this house. The view from the deck is incredible. The house has everything that is needed. The location is a little outside town which provides the view and space but close enough to get there in 10 minutes. Overall excellent stay. We would be happy to come again.
Cozy private cabin with an amazing view! Shelli was very thorough and helpful. It was great to wake up to birds on the deck, and our dogs had fun exploring. Lots of comfy couches and beds to rest and relax on after a long day of hiking.
And the town is cute. It's very hot and dry in the summer.
What a sweet little place - really lovely and quiet. Great views, clean and pretty updated!
If you are looking for a place to get away from it all and relax this place is the best. It was very clean and everything was functional. We definitely will be back!!
This cabin is about three miles from Idyllwild and located at the end of an unpaved road. It's spacious, well-equipped and offers a lovely location for anyone wanting a few quiet days in refined mountain air. The host, Shelli, is very responsive and helped out quickly when there was a minor issue requiring attention. The property has a spacious outdoor deck with extensive views of the valley below. We used it to set up a telescope and to engage in star-gazing and its unrestricted access to the night sky was perfect for that. There are two bedrooms, one of which is situated in a separate, stand-alone casita, at the end of an exterior walkway. The cabin is ideal for a couple and their pooch but it could comfortably accommodate up to four people, if required.
What a gem this home is! The view is absolutely breathtaking. And the deck overlooking it a perfect place to chill by the fire pit while overlooking the valleys below and the mountains ahead. The whole cabin was serene and just what the doctor ordered for a quick escape for my husband and I from our busy hectic schedules. Our dog Maggie loved watching the chipmunks and the Blue Jays around the property. We will definitely return to this serene spot! Thank you Shelli!
Such a fantastic spot - so quiet and cozy and relaxing. Absolute paradise. Nothing I could say would do it justice. Shelli was so kind, helpful and accommodating. We will definitely be back!
This vacation was one to top the charts! We felt right at home, so comfortable! I could go on and and on but there wouldn't be enough pages for all everything that we found to make our vacation just PERFECT!
