Charming, Dog-Friendly Two-Story Cabin Lodge with Deck - Great for Families
It's about time you treated yourself to an escape, and this dog-friendly Idyllwild vacation rental is the perfect place to do it! Relax and rejuvenate in this gorgeous log cabin, enjoying the warm wood-burning fireplace, evergreen tree surroundings, and restorative atmosphere all around you.
Located in peaceful Idyllwild, CA, voted L.A.'s Best Mountain Getaway, this quiet cabin will give you some much-needed rest and seclusion from your busy life. Take a breather and take it easy. Here in Idyllwild we have you covered, and you don't need to worry about a thing. More adventurous travelers will also love the proximity to the Suicide Rock trailhead and Tahquitz Rock for hiking and rock climbing.
Everyone in your group will want to spend their time in the living room, curled up on one of two couches as the fire crackles merrily from the wood-burning fireplace. During the day, you'll love looking out the large, floor-to-ceiling windows at the trees, reading a book or watching a show on the flatscreen. The TV also has a DVD player, so remind the kids to bring their favorites from home! If they forget, there's a selection of movies provided for your use.
Calling all aspiring chefs! If you love to cook, the fully equipped kitchen is the perfect place for you to prepare and enjoy a delectable meal. Complete with modern appliances, cookware, and a small dining table when it's time to eat, you'll be more than comfortable dining here.
At bedtime, you'll have your choice between two spacious bedrooms, each with intricate wood detailing and a queen-size bed, and one master with a queen-size bed, an en suite bathroom with a jetted tub, and private deck access. There is also one more full bathroom for your use. A double futon right in the living room is also available to sleep a couple more guests, for a total of eight. Dogs are also welcome to come along for an additional nightly pet fee.
Worried about missing out on work back home? Bring your laptop along, connect to the free WiFi, and never miss a thing! You'll have so many amenities here to make sure you're comfortable and feeling right at home, from the WiFi and cable to keep you connected to the washer/dryer to ensure your things are nice and clean. You'll even have a library of books and selection of games to choose from.
In the summertime, step outside to the deck where you'll find a dining table, your very own gas grill, and gorgeous views of the surrounding forests. You'll love spending time out here, enjoying your meal in the great outdoors or reading a book as you breathe in the fresh mountain air.
In Idyllwild, Shakespeare fans will love checking out 'Will in the Woods,' an annual production each fall which features selections from the Bard's plays and sonnets. Besides this famous festival, there is also an annual international film festival and plenty more arts-focused events throughout the year.
If you're less about the arts and more about exploring the great outdoors, Idyllwild has that too! Climb over rugged landscapes, doing your best 'Wild' impression as you hike part of the infamous Pacific Crest Trail, or play it safer and explore one of the many trails and rock climbing sites closer to your home away from home.

Wonderful two story cabin with a great kitchen and deck, perfect for lounging and entertaining. Bedrooms are very nice and up to date, with a marvelous soaker tub in the master. Perfect for a stay amongst the trees!
Our family from Europe was visiting and we wanted to give them a taste of cabin living in Idyllwild - this cabin and location was perfect. We relaxed, hiked, laughed and caught up in this beautiful space. The views from the wrap around porch were stunning!

Relaxing weekend getaway.
This house was perfect for our family getaway. I loved the huge windows and wrap around deck that provided a great view of the outdoors. The spiral stairs were a little tricky for the dog, but he figured it out after the first day.
We had 3 adults and 2 dogs. This property was perfect. Our favorite feature was the wrap around deck and giant windows. It’s just a few minutes from town and very quiet and relaxing.
Overall, it's a sweet spot, pretty view from the wrap around porch. The bed upstairs was not very comfortable and having an open bathroom in that bedroom doesn't provide a lot of privacy, depending on who you're traveling with. It's hard to imagine more than four people staying in the space at once. Could use a more thorough cleaning but was a nice spot.
Good place for family. We were sad to be notified AFTER we booked that the main park to hike with kids was going to be closed during our stay; we felt that info should have been included in the property details for that timeframe. Otherwise property was pretty much as described.
The cabin is a dream and has a good, cozy feel. Everything worked. The cabin was very clean, the layout is great, plenty of space. The zero plastic amenities was nice touch. We enjoyed the view to the mountain tops, trees surrounding the cabin, the deck with teak furniture, the quiet location, walking distance to trails, simply everything was so wonderful.

Cabin with potential but some key misses
While the cabin has a lot of good things going for it - good mountain and forest views, big windows, wrap-around deck, it has a few comfort, repair and appearance issues that impact the overall stay experience.
This was an absolutely lovely stay. The house was clean, cozy, and beautifully decorated. The only caveat is there is a narrow spiral staircase to access the second floor where the kitchen and living room are. If there are people in your party that have difficulty accessing stairs, it might be a little difficult. This won’t be an issue for the majority of people. We loved our stay here and can’t wait to return!
Property was just as described. Within walking distance of several hiking trails. Very clean. Beautiful view from the spacious balcony. Minor issues were that a lot of the windows either don’t open or were very difficult to open/close and the spiral staircase was the only way to get to the main living space or outdoor balcony making it impossible for our dog to be on the same level as us. Overall, it was a great house that was very peaceful and relaxing

Beautiful, but… not family friendly!
It’s a great place to stay with a group of people or younger family members. Beautiful views, great location. Little kids or older family members, not friendly. The stairs to the house are steep and slick. After those stairs you have a narrow, very vertical stair case to the the kitchen. Great property otherwise. Owner left a wonderful binder with seriously great information/instructions, we used it several times.
This property is legit. If you wanting to be off the grid and enjoy hiking trails this is your want to go stay. Our family had a blast during our stay. It’s so close to the trail and nature and away from the city. On a positive note, I highly recommend this property if you really want to get away from your busy life and just chill…The big windows, grills provided, big fridge with ice maker, Spiral staircase, close to Humberpark trailhead, easy to find address, info binder, the big book shelves, WiFi and the Around the house patio are great big plus!!!! Some minor issues material condition wise and some amenities like: missing turning handles for the blinds on the master bedroom, loose step in the middle of the spiral steps, loose bed frame on the master bedroom makes constant noise with slightest move so annoying, trash can inside the house has no lid, no exhaust fan when cooking making the whole place smells, no TV in any of the bedroom, not comfortable with the bath tub shower only in the master bedroom specially with disabilities, no rice cooker, and some of the mini lights along the steps outside are out.

Great spring break with teens
I took 4 teens and our older dog to stay here for two nights. The cabin was easy to find and lovely. The rooms and bathrooms were nice as was the kitchen. I LOVED the wrap around porch! We were able to play games and have a fire in the cozy living room. It was a perfect escape.
I saw in other reviews that dogs struggled with the stairs, but we did not have that issue. I also saw on other reviews that the front stairs are difficult for some to navigate and I don’t think there’s a photo that really shows the walk from the car to the front door. I will say we were surprised at the steps as the cabin sits high above the road, but we didn’t find them to be an issue to climb. The views from the cabin, deck, fireplace, and grill outside were all very appreciated. Overall this was a great place for our group and we would definitely recommend it!

Incredible Cabin!
We loved our stay here, the house itself is amazing with the huge windows! The kitchen is great, it has everything you would need, even a blender, mixer, and a griddle. Plenty of board games and books for the evenings. Full size washer/dryer for longer stays. It’s really so comfy. The wrap around patio was such a plus, we stayed in summer so you can move to the shady side at any given time, there’s furniture all the way around. No AC, but it’s cool enough even on summer nights to open the windows and get a good airflow through the house. We did have an incident with our dog hurting her leg on the spiral stair case right when we got there, she almost fell through the railing, the stairs are fairly steep and the railings have a 12” gap, luckily my 7 year old was coming up and caught her back half before she fell from up there. She was limping for a couple days but was better after some rest. So be careful with your pets if you bring them. All in all though this place is amazing!

NOT a Dog Friendly Cabin
The cabin is in a great location with a nice deck to enjoy the view of the beautiful trees. Unfortunately, this is NOT a dog friendly cabin. The 1st floor consist of two bedrooms and a bathroom. A SPIRAL staircase is the ONLY access to the 2nd floor where the kitchen, family room, deck, and master bedroom is located. I saw the picture of the spiral stair but I wrongly assumed a second traditional stair case existed off the deck that surrounds the entire cabin. My wife and I, in our 70’s, could not get our 10 year old lab up the spiral stairs until the next day when our son arrived. Also, upon our arrive, there was dog feces that had been stepped on the outdoor stairs leading to the front door. More dog feces

Cozy and Cute, but Several Issues…
Overall: Cute small cabin near Humber Park.
Pros: Old cabin charm…
Cons: Unresponsive host. No instructions on checking in or out. Issues getting keys from lock box, as no directions on how lock boxes work. Given no cell service and no response from host as to my message, I had to drive back into town to get cell service to be able to watch a video to figure out how to get the keys out.
At departure, no instructions on what to do with soiled linens, dishes, trash etc., so we just did the best we could.
While this bills itself as dog friendly, our dog couldn’t navigate the very small circular stairway with log steps, but that might not be a problem for others.
Dishwasher is broken. Fireplace is not for guest use. Couches are very worn.
There were ants in the kitchen.
