Escape to Shadow Pine Lodge (RivCo STR# 71-352), our majestic 1925 former hunting lodge set high in the San Jacintos. Tree top expansive views as far as the eye can see. The main sleeping loft features a charming atmosphere with half bath and a deck in the trees. Enjoy morning coffee/tea or an afternoon glass of wine. The downstairs living room is anchored by a grand fireplace. There is a bunk room with two beds and a smaller open space with a daybed. Full kitchen and full bath complete the interior.

Rustic open floor plan allows for easy family entertaining or romantic getaway. Sunny nook off of living room with indoor hammock is perfect for afternoon reading or napping. Wood burning stove is the perfect touch for those cold mountain nights. Lodge also has A/C and heating via mini splits. Well stocked kitchen for whatever your tastebuds desire. Huge deck with stunning views features outdoor dining, BBQ, lounge chairs and inviting hot tub. Quick 10 minute run down the hill and you are in village of Idyllwild.

Guests will have the full access to the entire property. Please be aware this is the forest and there are critters that live here that may wander inside the fences.

We have tried to think of everything to make your stay as carefree and easy as possible. Contactless check in with keypad door lock. Host is available via text to assist you. In the unlikely event you do require onsite assistance we have a local representative available to help.

We're located in Pine Cove which is just over 3 miles up the road from the mountain hamlet of Idyllwild. Restaurants, bars shops and a movie theatre are a 10 minute run down the hill. World class hiking is minutes away. From an easy out and back stroll to linking up with the Pacific Coast Trail or getting to the peak of San Jacinto there is a hike for every skill level.

The cabin is located on a privately maintained road. During the winter the snow plows do not run on a regular schedule.

Access to the Lodge is via a trail/pathway that winds up from the parking area. Folks with mobility issues may find it challenging to navigate (especially during winter months if there is snow) and we strongly recommend checking with us if you have any questions or concerns prior to booking.

PineCove Water District requires the water to be shut off when the property is not being occupied. You will receive detailed instructions in your check in email regarding how to turn the water on and off at completion of your stay.

There is no curbside trash pick up in Idyllwild/PineCove. We ask that guests take all trash generated during their stay to the County Transfer Station for disposal. You will be given detailed instruction in your check-out memo. Transfer Station is located about 15 minutes from the lodge. Please ask if you have any questions or concerns.

One aimed towards the approach to the lodge from the parking area and one directly towards the front door that is active with video and photo capture. There are no cameras on the interior of the lodge. We are happy to share with you screen grabs of both cameras showing what they are aimed at. Any attempt to disable or obscure the cameras will be considered a violation of house rules and subject to cancellation of the rental and forfeiture of fees paid. Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns about the cameras.

    This beautiful cabin literally checked all the boxes for a perfect weekend in the mountains. We had a wonderful time building fires every evening, cooking all of our meals in a very well stocked and nice kitchen (great appliances!), soaking in a large and maintained hot tub with a view, sleeping in surrounded by quality bedding..... overall just a really amazing time! The cabin was beautifully furnished with nice art and cozy wool blankets, tons of board games, and a fully connected smart tv. Everything was very clean with thoughtful touches throughout and Alex was very accommodating and communicative. We 100% recommend this lodge!

    The hosts were friendly, welcoming, and accommodating. The home is situated in a beautiful location, well-decorated among the treetops, with a jacuzzi on the deck. My family of three, including our dog, had an amazing trip, enjoying this lovely home, hiking, exploring the town, and spending quality time together. I would highly recommend this property.One thing to note: the cabin can get chilly. It might be wise to bring firewood, as the town was sold out during our trip over a busy holiday weekend.

    Great cabin at the top of a hill with amazing views over the valley. Well appointed with comfortable chairs, full kitchen, patio seating, and hot tub. Hard to ask for more.

    The cabin is such a wonderful retreat in tucked in the woods. The kitchen was great to cook in and the views were incredible. I also want to take a moment to highlight the responsiveness of the hosts to anything we needed. They were great hosts. I'd stay here again!

    We had an amazing time at this home. My family has been coming to Idyllwild twice a year since 2017, and this location is definitely in our top 3 stays. The views are stellar, the house is loaded with essentials, and the hot tub is perfect for taking in the sunsets. The cabin is about 100 years old, and it retains its charm while placing you in a period that makes you appreciate its calming, remote locale.The owners were very responsive and easy to work with. I’ll definitely come back here in the future and recommend to others.

    We did a quick weekend getaway to relax, hike and recharge, and that is just what the cabin provided for us. Alex was extremely communicative and gave us all of the information that we needed to have a great stay. The cabin was comfortable and cabiny, and that is a good thing. The kitchen was fully stocked with all the pots, pans and utensils you would need should you decided to cook, which we did. AC is available, but we ended up not needing it at all. We simply opened a couple of the windows and used the ceiling fan. The hot tub was also welcomed after a long day of hiking. If we are ever going to be back in the area, we will keep The Lodge on our list.

    We had such a wonderful stay at this beautiful home. It’s hard to find a space both comfortable and so tasteful. It’s really a special spot. We had everything we needed and more. Great communication as well. Thank you again for such a lovely time.

    The place was nice. The Hot Tub was great. Good kitchen with good amenities. Everything was good, but… getting to the house one a one way street, you have to go down and turn around to get up the hill to park. Then there is a hike 200 feet and up 30 ft elevation that’s winding, gravel, and dirt. I had to make 6 trips up and down with my food and suitcases. If this was a place you would park and take your things in 20 feet on the same level, I would stay again. I’m older so this was hard for me. If you’re younger and don’t mind the hike up to it, I think you will like it.

    This property was cozy and comfortable, tastefully decorated, a great view, and a wonderful space for the four of us. Our hosts were responsive and relaxed! Thank you for treating or family like guests and not a transaction! Note to folks - if you have mobility issues, the charm of the walk to the property might be a challenge - but otherwise it was the restful and relaxing weekend we needed. Thank you, Alex and Deborah!

    My family and I stayed in this beautiful cabin for a weekend and we enjoyed every minute. It provides such a relaxing environment with such beautiful views. We enjoyed the hot tub and hammock very much. We even got some snow! You can tell the owners take pride in hosting as everything was easy, clean, and enjoyable for us. The kitchen is well stocked which is much appreciated.

    We loved staying at The Lodge. Very cozy, clean, and welcoming. Just a short drive to Idyllwild and hiking trails. We enjoyed the sunrise as we sat drinking coffee, chatting by the fire in the incredibly hot fire stove. The beds were super comfortable. We even had robes to wear to the hot tub. Thank you Alex for being available for questions. You are the best host!!

    We had an absolutely fantastic time staying at the cabin. The communication with the host was outstanding. The cabin was very cozy and clean. Enjoyed the beautiful views from the deck. Expect a bit of a hike from your car to the cabin.
