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.

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.

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.

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

Dream cabin
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.

Nice little getaway
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.

Charming retreat nestled in the woods
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!

Wonderful property
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

A beautiful house in Idyllwild
Tucked away in the trees this is a beautiful house that is perfect for a long weekend stay. Suitable for 1 or 2 families with kids. Adults can play cards upstairs while the kids play downstairs. Across the road is a great hike and the town of Idyllwild is a short drive away.

Charming clean well stocked. Forced air heating worked great, and plenty of hot water. Cons: VERY steep and unsafe steps from driveway to front door. Could be helped by installing a handrail. VERY steep and scary spiral staircase to main living area. Carrying everything and down almost made the stay not worth it. Finally NO CELL SERVICE. Yes there is Wi-Fi but none of us could actually make or take a call. Suggest property management install a landline for emergencies.

Nice property in need of some attention.
While the home is lovely and the location is good, we did not find the property to be clean or in good working order. The dining room light and fan was inoperable, the dishwasher would not start and there is no screen door on the patio door making it impossible to leave open for ventilation without mosquitos and flies entering. The property was generally not in a clean condition. Counters had food and sticky stuff on them, bathroom tiles needed to be scrubbed and kitchen cabinet doors had dried spots all over the fronts. There were numerous cobwebs in the home which indicates to me that the cleaning crew is suboptimal. Also, the lack of quality utensils and knives, chipped/unmatched dinnerware, poor quality kitchen towels and oven mitt made for a disappointing cooking/dining experience at the cabin. The home is lovely but is showing its age and use. Some small investments in correcting the above items and adding additional lighting and purchasing some new pillows would really make the home much more comfortable for guests.
