Get out of the city and head to the beautiful country from this Idyllwild vacation rental. Located west of Highway 243, the home sits in a secluded wooded area with plenty of undisturbed nature outside your doors. If you're looking for more action, just a mile north lies Idyllwild's town center, with eclectic gift shops, quaint cafes, and entertainment venues. Wake up refreshed and ready for new adventures, including a day of bombing down local singletrack on a guided mountain bike tour with The Hub Cyclery. Some guests may prefer learning about the area's ecology and natural history at the Idyllwild Nature Center two miles north or trekking through wilderness on the Mt. San Jacinto Summit Trail, which begins 11 miles north. There are also fun live music performances and stand-up comedy shows at the Rustic Theater one mile up the road, and a variety of watersports, such as fishing, kayaking, boating, and stand-up paddle boarding, are only eight miles south at Lake Hemet. If you're in the mood for a day trip, drive 22 miles west to Hemet for museums, shopping, and other attractions in the heart of San Jacinto County. Kids will love playing in interactive exhibits at the Fingerprints Youth Museum, and the whole family will adore learning about dinosaurs that once roamed in the area at the Western Science Center. You could also catch a performing arts show at the Ramona Bowl Amphitheater, rent a boat and explore Diamond Valley Lake, or hike, bike, and trek even more nature trails around the town.

This home exudes plenty of cabin character with a wraparound outdoor deck, knotty pine walls and cabinets, high ceilings, forest-themed decor, and even a free-standing fireplace. Start a fire in the living room's fireplace and settle into the couch, a rocking chair or a comfy recliner to enjoy a DVD while the fire warms the room. You could also use the home's WiFi to plan your next hike in the San Jacinto wilderness, freshen your clothes in the washer/dryer, or take a relaxing soak in the private hot tub.

When you get hungry, head into the kitchen to whip up a feast using modern appliances and a variety of cookware. Share meals at the dining table, or dine alfresco on the wraparound deck at a glass-top table. As you dine, take in the gorgeous mountain views, then play a fun game in the horseshoe pit.

Retire for a restful slumber after a full day of mountain activities. Additional sleeping space is provided on one futon and one extra mattress. Warm and cozy with quilted bedding, carpeted floors, shaded windows, and nightstands with reading lamps, the bedrooms will deliver a great night's sleep to all vacationers.

Cute and Quiet
Super cute cabin, nice and rustic (and nostalgic!) We enjoyed the hot tub after our adventures in Idyllwild, and the fully stocked kitchen was very appreciated. This is a great place to stay if you want a little place close to shops and trails. We'll definitely be back!

Upon walking in, this cabin is as cozy as it gets! Wood burning fireplace, beautiful mountain decor, very clean, and has all the necessities for a pleasant stay. I especially enjoyed the complimentary eco friendly toiletries. Super close to town and convenient for dog owners!

A great place to stay
The place overall is as bigger than I had thought, cozy, and in a great location. I did have a few hiccups with the cleanliness and the missing cushions on the outdoor chairs. Thankfully the property management was very good with communication and helped fix the problem. I would definitely recommend to stay at this mountain home!

Our visit to the Bear Den
Overall, we enjoyed our visit. The cabin is rustic and a bit worn but clean and comfortable. Beds were great! A couple of negatives. The weather was perfect for sitting on the rear deck but could not do so as there were no chair cushions. Also, a dinky 30 inch tv in this age when you can buy a 50 inch smart tv for under $300 and a 40 inch for under $200!! Also, some written instructions on accessing the available tv programming would be helpful.

All good, could have had some cleaner walls, but PLENTY of bath towels and spa towels. Good toiletries, more than adequate kitchen wares. Will stay again. P.S. sorry we didn't wash the sheets but we did wash the towels.

The property is nice. The area is amazing! Cleanliness wasn't quite to our expectations, but I will admit to being a clean freak. Spa cover ripped when we opened it. no WIFI/internet, thank you for the refund. The cabin amenities advertised are in need of upgrades. Overall, the atmosphere of the cabin made us relax from our daily stressful lives. Thank you for that! Knowing what to expect from this property we would stay again.

Do not go during hot season
The house smells badly and in description they mentioned there will be AC in the boise but a day before we are arriving we received a message that there is any AC there and celling fan in the living room was not working but thankfully they placed some fan boxes which during the hot temperature are useless. And also there is photo of outdoor furniture with cushions on it but there were not any, we called and ask for it and they responded that we never had any guests with these requests. they communicated perfectly but sometimes without results. And there are not enough pots, pans and oven dishes in the house. Overall it was not bad experience but money wise not worth it.

Save your money, rent some where else.
My fiancé and I were very excited for this stay. Unfortunately the hot tub that you pay $40 extra a night for was filled with completely green water. The tv has one button, no way to control the volume, no working channel changers, the DVD player remote doesn’t work, AND all the dvds were all scratched and skipped. The location of this cabin is great and it’s even cute inside but the cabin had no baking sheets, foil, or scissors, no front door mat to wipe wet shoes, and mold growing on the kitchen curtains. None of the complaints from pervious renters have been addressed. A tile/ laminate in the kitchen is completely coming up from the floor in front of the sink. Oh! and at one point we thought that the bottom of the toilet was leaking water, but we investigated and it ended up being the shower that was leaking. All and all we had a lovely time in Idyllwild but we would not rent this cabin again. I will say the two things this place has going for it was the heating system and fire place.

Great cabin!
The cabin was overall great! Clean, close to town, awesome amenities. Only thing I would say is the beds were super tough to sleep in (extremely firm) and the direction on how to work the heater were unclear so we didn’t know where to turn the main heat up or down.

Cozy, Clean and walkable to town
Very clean and cozy property..the beds were ultra comfortable! Jacuzzi and back deck were perfect for relaxing after a long walk or hike..the only reason i gave 4 stars and not 5 was because of the long, thick weeds that had thorns up and down stems. Very dangerous for pets or children that run around in back yard...hopefully they will have that taken care of soon...🙏🙂..loved my stay there and would stay again..
