Treetop Getaway in the Ponderosa Pines

My wife and I wanted to get away somewhere quiet during the weekend of 4th to get our dogs away from fireworks and catch up on some work. Idyllwild’s no fireworks rules are actually followed! The house is comfortable and homey. We slept well. There’s a king bed room, a double/queen room and a bunk bed room. We brought along a cooler with stuff to cook and all the amenities we needed were in the home. The upper floor may be stuffy when you arrive if during warmer months, but once the windows are open, there’s a nice mountain airflow and it’s very comfortable. We stayed upstairs all day in July and it was lovely. Wifi was good as well. There is a fenced backyard that would be nice for smaller dogs or dogs with some common sense. However the fence is very short in some areas because of the steep terrain, so we kept our (large, excitable) dogs inside with us and walked them around the neighborhood periodically. Great restful, productive weekend. Would definitely stay here again.

Had a great time with family!! Very peaceful getaway!! Michael was very attentive and a wonderful host!! I can’t wait to come back!! Thank you for your amazing hospitality!!

This is a really nice, super well stocked cabin. Perfect for families with younger kids. A couple of notes for prospective renters. The bedrooms are all downstairs and the main living area is upstairs. The bathrooms are all downstairs so you have to go down a very steep staircase whenever you need to use the bathroom. This house is definitely would not be accessible for some people with disabilities. There is no access to the fenced yard for the dogs from the house so anytime you have to take your dogs out to go potty you have to leash them up and walk them out the front door to the back gate. Not super convenient at 3am. All that said, this is a BEAUTIFUL place, well cared for and I had excellent communication with the owners. I loved the Master Lock app to get the keys. The back balcony looks right out into the tree tops of the forest. Highly recommend this place

This place was perfect for relaxing. It was clean and decorated so nicely. We loved relaxing on the balcony. Further, it had everything we could need for a longer stay. I look forward to returning to the treetop cabin.

Nice place. Missing a few things: salt, small spoons. Oven was dirty so smoke came out of it while using it. The view was amazing the bed comfortable, the decorations were cute

My friends and I rented this house for our annual get together. It was an incredible mountain get away. Would absolutely go back.

We had a great family getaway with four adults and two children. Accommodations were clean and comfortable with a well stocked kitchen. In a quiet area with a great deck and outdoors spaces for outside activities. Expansive windows afforded great views. We enjoyed games and crafts around the table. And both cooked in and ate out.

We had such a fabulous stay at “the treehouse,” as we were calling it! The owner was very responsive and helpful, and easy to communicate with. The property was gorgeous, in a neighborhood near town, yet completely private. We loved exploring the large backyard, and watching the birds on the balcony (we bought unsalted peanuts at the local grocery store). The house was lovely, cozy, and very clean. (I am allergic to dogs so I was a little nervous when I saw that they allow people to bring thier dogs, but I had no issue, so that says a lot about the cleanliness!). The kitchen had everything we needed, and more. We explored the town, went on some hikes, and played lots of board and card games. It was a perfect family getaway, and we would absolutely love to stay again next time we are in Idyllwild! Highly recommend.

The pictures do not do it justice. What a wonderful place! We will be coming back soon.

We had an amazing visit to Idyllwild. The owner was incredibly helpful and communicated regularly to ensure we had all we needed. We would definitely visit again! Thank you!

The house looks amazing from the photos and description - in reality it is actually better ! There is everything you could want in this house and more and we had the most fabulous stay. Having stayed in holiday homes across Europe and the States I can honestly say this is the best ever. The home is beautifully furnished with comfortable beds and sofas and as a guest you really feel at home with everything from the fluffy towels to the selection of complimentary toiletries waiting on arrival. The house was immaculately clean and kept at a perfect temperature not too hot and not too cold. The kitchen was well equipped and everything easy to use with plenty of cutlery and cups, plates etc…. Access to the property was easy and straightforward and there is ample car parking outside the front door. The directions given were spot on and it was easy to locate. Out on the deck you are entertained by the awesome local wildlife - we met a variety of birds and some very cheeky and cute chipmunks which played around the house and in the trees. Our favourite was the gorgeous blue Stellar Jays who visited every morning at breakfast time. The local town of Idyllwild has a small supermarket and some great shops to buy local produce and souvenirs - we loved the pottery studio and purchased some delightful mementos of our trip. Everyone we met was friendly and welcoming. Cannot fault this place or the location at all and we were not disappointed by anything. Thank you so much.

Great cabin! Kids had a blast with all the short hikes available to us.
