I spent a wonderful week at Cozy Cabin. The cabin was beautiful and very comfortable. If you love cooking, the well equipped kitchen is a delight. As a special touch, the coffee bar was something to look forward to each morning! I truly loved my stay.
It was the perfect snowy weekend getaway. Cabin is 8 minutes from town so close enough to enjoy restaurants and shops but far enough that theres no traffic. Woodfired stove kept us plenty warm. Beautifuls views! Great hosts!

Welcoming Hosts. Welcoming cabin. Very Cozy. Extremely organized and functional. Charming and romantic. Amenities were complete. Great site to relax. Only six minute drive to town center. My wife and I have been visiting Idyllwild for 47 years, camping, staying in cabins, B&B's etc. Cozy Oaks Cabin is by far the best. Being here is like being in the comfort of home.
The cabin was cozy, super clean, and had everything we needed—including so many toiletries! Mike and Sue were awesome with communication both before and during our stay. I’m especially grateful for their kindness in letting us check out late—seriously appreciated! We’ll definitely be back in the winter!

The maintained 1942 historical atmosphere of the cabin, furnishings and artifacts and the personalized welcome notes for us as we arrived.
The cabin was quaint and cozy with a plethora of amenities, notably the wonderfully stocked spice cabinet and cooking utensils. It truly makes for nice getaway where you can disconnect from reality and be with your loved ones. Mike & Sue are wonderful hosts. We are very likely to return.
We loved staying at Cozy Oaks. The hosts thought of everything to make the stay comfortable and wonderful, which made it feel so special. Cabin was clean and even smelled nice. Lots of wildlife to see out the windows. Birds, squirrels, and we watched a bobcat walk right by the cabin! Next time we visit Idyllwild, we absolutely want to stay at Cozy Oaks again.
I had a wonderful stay at this cabin! From the moment I arrived, I was impressed by how clean and well-maintained everything was. The cabin was cozy and comfortable, with all the amenities I needed for a relaxing getaway. The highlight was the breathtaking views the scenery was absolutely stunning. It was the perfect spot to unwind and enjoy nature at its finest. I highly recommend this cabin for anyone looking for a peaceful and scenic retreat!
This place is dreamy!! It is incredibly clean and well cared for and we felt so lucky to get to spend the weekend! And the hosts are truly amazing! They are so thoughtful and put extra special little touches everywhere. We will be back!
We’ve stayed here twice now. It’s so cute! Everything is well thought out. My favorite part is the heater in the bathroom. The bed is perfectly firm and the kitchen is great. We cooked all our meals in the cabin. Thank you Mike and Sue!
This cabin is perfect for anyone who wants to get away from the big city but still have comforts of home. It's tucked away in the mountains so it is very private. Communication was fantastic with easy to follow pictures on how to get there and where to park. There were also the cutest extra touches that just showed they really cared. If this cabin is available....don't hesitate, book it today!
Cozy Oaks Cabin was a beautiful and relaxing vacation home for our trip to Idyllwild! Everything about it was perfect. The cabin has been beautifully restored, and there were so many thoughtful touches, from the coffee bar in the kitchen and the toiletries in the bathroom to the squirrel and bird feed in the yard and the provided Adventure Pass. We had a wonderful time exploring the area as well as just sitting in the yard reading and watching the wildlife. Mike and Sue are fantastic, responsive hosts, and we couldn’t have asked for a better getaway.
Honestly, one of the best rental houses we've ever stayed in. These people are HOSTS! They had everything so dialed in in this cabin. Felt like a real home. So many amenities, detailed instructions for anything you could need. Dining, activities, hikes, history, anything you could think of they've gotchu covered. Mike and Sue are the best. WE WILL BE BACK!
Cozy Oaks Cabin was an absolutely wonderful experience. The charming 1940s theme was beautifully woven throughout both the interior and exterior, while still offering all the modern comforts we could ask for. We especially enjoyed the outdoor seating areas, where we could relax and watch the birds, squirrels, and even rabbits feeding nearby. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed. The communication with the owners was top-notch, making our stay even more enjoyable. We would gladly return to this peaceful, well-appointed retreat.
