Oh my! What an incredibly charming home! Beautiful neighborhood! Peaceful, cozy, aesthetically pleasing, great amenities, just perfect! So close to town center, this home is perfect! Owners are so warm, friendly, and helpful! The house is beautifully decorated, owner clearly has great taste! Kitchen very well equipped.Bedrooms so cozy! Bathroom very nice! Hot tub was great! We couldn’t have been more pleased! Planning to stay again in a couple of months!
The place was amazing! We had a great time. It was cozy and the location was amazing!
Cabin was great, we had an amazing thanksgiving vacation!!
The rental was just as described and in a beautiful location. Check-in was simple and the amenities were great! Definitely will consider again for another trip to Idyllwild!
The upstairs 3rd bedroom was extremely dusty and musty with a cobweb running from wall to wall. Assuming this separate room had not been rented in awhile, but was part of my rental. I spent an hour in there with clorox wipes cleaning it. Also first stack of cups I took from cabinet were moldy when I pulled them apart. Definitely do not recommend this place
We loved our stay! Easy to find and check-in was a breeze. The home has so many thoughtful additions and touches that make it feel like a real home, not stale like many other home rentals. The kitchen was well stocked with equipment and the bed was great. Could have used a good dusting for cobwebs in corners and dust bunnies under the bed, but not a huge deal for us. Would suggest adding some dressers or table top space to the bedroom if possible but we had everything we needed! We would gladly return for another visit.
Enjoyed our stay in this comfy cabin. Great outdoor space and hot-tub. Well-appointed with toiletries and nice note from owner. Only minor inconvenience is no dishwasher. Very much enjoyed our stay and hope to return!
This cabin exceeded our expectations. It was the perfect spot for a relaxing weekend stay. They did not miss a step in decorating, it was straight out of a magazine! We loved the outdoor living too! The spa and fire pit were the perfect touch. Super close to great food and boutiques in the village. We would keep this place in mind for our next trip to Idyllwild.
We had a quiet, pleasant visit at the cabin. The bed was the most comfortable I've slept in at a Vrbo location. Everything was as expected and the hot tub was a nice way to enjoy the evening and see some of the lunar eclipse.
