Amazing if you love hiking and have doggos!
The space is pretty big if it's just you and your partner. Layla and Suki loved the yard and the fire pit being in the center of it was legit. The place is super close to town and all of the bigger trails. Jay and Darlene were such great communicators and their recommendations are absolutely solid. 10/10 will be staying here again to check out more of the area.

First snow for our fur people
Just amazing! Had a wonderful time, our dogs as well. We enjoyed the drive up with the snow flurries, just so nice to disconnect from everyday life. The VRBO was as described, so charming and very pet friendly. Has every amenity needed if you were going up there to wing it. Very close to town. Everything explained about cabin. Jay the owner communicates promptly if there are any questions. Will go again in Fall!

The Best Cozy Cabin!
We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful and quaint cabin! The wooden features and charming decor made it feel so warm and inviting. Everything was spotless and ready for us when we arrived, and the hosts were incredibly kind—leaving us thoughtful touches like protein bars. The location was perfect, just minutes from downtown and the trails, making it easy to explore. Our dog absolutely loved it too! Plus, the provided games and puzzles were such a fun bonus. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay and would absolutely come back. Highlyrecommend.

Always a nice place to stay
We've stayed at Jay's place a couple times now and it's always the perfect, relaxing place to get away for a couple days. It's clean, quite, great location. There's a comfy bed and a big living room. Most importantly, there's a big fenced in back yard for the pup to run around. I think he loves it the most! We will continue to stay here when we visit Idyllwild. Thanks again!

Great backyard
Property is on a fairly busy road, but the enclosed backyard is excellent. My 2 dogs loved playing in it. Cabin is 1.5 miles to downtown Idyllwild, so convenient for restaurants, market, and other retailers. This was my 2nd visit and sure I'll be back.

Nice little Cabin
We spent two nights at Whispering Pine and really liked it; it's not a fancy place but it has everything you need.
Jay, the owner, is highly responsive.
If you want a weekend break, try this place; you will enjoy it.

Jay’s Place was awesome
Staying at Jay’s place was a great experience. It met our needs perfectly, from the comfortable recliner for enjoyable reading to the amazing shower with the smooth pebbled floor that felt like a foot massage. And right down the road to Idyllwild Arts, where we needed to be. We didn’t use the backyard but saw that it is large and fenced. The beds were comfortable and there were options with the queen bed and single bed in the bedroom and a single bed with trundle in the living room. I can’t think of any suggestions for improvement. All was great. Thank you.
