Lovely little getaway
We had a lovely, but too short, stay in this sweet cabin. We appreciated the fenced in back yard for the dog, and that it was walking distance to town. Everything we needed was provided and it was a great experience for us!

Not dog friendly
We stayed at this property 2/24-2/27. The listing stated that this property was completely fenced for dogs. In fact, it is not. The front gate has an area adjacent to it that is completely open and goes out into the street. I had to harness my two dogs whenever they needed to go out. They could not just roam on their own. It was completely inconvenient for me to keep doing this throughout the trip. We ordered a bushel of firewood for $25 to be delivered. This wood did not burn. It is not seasoned. We tried kindling and fire starters. All it created was a bunch of smoke. We made the owner aware of these things and requested a $25 refund for unused wood that we had to leave at property. We never heard back. Unacceptable. We visit Idyllwild every year and will not be using Vrbo or staying g at this cabin.

A true gem!
Our first time to Idyllwild and it was eventful! We loved being able to have our dogs with us the owners of the property were very accommodating (Thank you!) We learned that Riverside County has specific noise monitoring device requirements, which the rental management also explained to us ASAP and put us at ease. These devices actually help keep Idyllwild quiet and peaceful, which is why we wanted to get away to begin with. We also accidentally locked ourselves out of the property and the management company came to the rescue within mere minutes! It was impressive. Granted I had to hike around to get cell service, this place really is a "get away" haha. The cabin was adorable, so well decorated with bears, woodland animals and the garden was beautiful. I took note of many of the plants to try to grow at home. My daughter loved the old bathtub and stopper. Beds were cozy, and loved all the low cabin-y lighting. We met the Mayor, walked the shops, stopped by the museum, and hiked. My daughter left her slippers and they called to see if we needed them back or if we wanted to donate them (donation it is!) We really needed this little vacay. We will be back!!! Thank you for everything!!!

The cabin was as described for location and amenities. It was comfortable and quiet. The one thing that we were not pleased with was the added on pet charge of $210 for our 6 day stay with our dog. We specifically looked for pet friendly properties and made our reservation thinking that this property had the price included in the rate that was charged when we made the reservation. Other properties we looked at had the pet fee outlined in the stated rates and we thought this one did as well. This was most disappointing to have it not fully disclosed in the daily rate quoted.

Turkey Time in Idyllwild
The property was exactly as advertised. Our family went up to Idyllwild, CA for Thanksgiving week and it was most relaxing. We brought our food up to the cabin and it worked out perfectly. The cabin was walking distance to the town and we loved feeding the bluejays.

Great cabin!
We really enjoyed our time at the cabin! It was very clean and had all the basics we needed. The WiFi worked great and I was able to work from the table in the backyard. Our pup enjoyed the large backyard and we liked sitting in the front yard too although she had to be on leash as the driveway was open to the street. Thank you for providing the nuts for the jays. It was fun to watch their antics along with all the hummingbirds. We hope to stay here again!

Amazing Property
This property had so much charm and character inside/out. Having stayed at many rental homes in the past and in Idyllwild, I will look no further. The house was warm and inviting. The kitchen was well stocked with all the utensils and cooking items needed. The very large fenced property was great for my dogs and had so many charming seating areas and decorations. Highly recommend this property. Looking forward to going back in the snow.
