Enjoyed snow and good weather; animals and birds.

Just rested; two sons and spouses visited; one from Colorado. Enjoyed the snowstorms even if we were snowed in twice for two days each) until dug out ( fun experience). Enjoyed the town and restaurants. The mountain cabin feel was exactly what we wanted. I was not ready to leave; wife was (long enough for her but she also enjoyed the mountains, animals and surroundings)

The most adorable cabin!

I have stayed here several times and they never disappoint. It enhances the charm of the Little Village. Every detail as well thought out. It’s so close to the village I can walk. I’d rather give it a 10 stars and five

Outdated furniture and appliances, I understand it’s a cabin but also needs to be upgraded. Better options for the price out there!

Perfect!

We got in late, but check in was super easy with the lock box. Very comfortable, cute 60's/grandma vibe. Had everything we needed. Super comfy bed and pillows. A little close to the road but otherwise perfect for what my best friend and I needed. Wish we could have stayed longer. Will definitely be back again. Loved it! Thank you so much!!!

Weekend getaway

We chose Marks cabin for a reprieve from the desert heat. The cabin was perfect in every way. Great deck area to hang out and bask in the mild temperature. The cabin is really close to town yet tucked away enough for peace and relaxation. The Kitchen was stocked with everything we needed to prepare and enjoy a meal on the deck. This is a true cabin feel with all the amenities of home. Our furry friends loved laying on the secure deck and watching the squirrels and birds. Overall a great weekend and a perfect place to escape! We will definitely be back.

What an awesome cabin!

We were looking for a weekend getaway in a cozy cabin, and this is exactly what it was! Wood paneled Wild West feel, but had modern appointments like dishwasher, toaster, etc. Heat was easy to use, BBQ worked great, and the beds were very comfortable. We are looking forward to returning here.

Great home and location!

We only were able to stay for a couple of nights, but we really enjoyed the visit. VERY clean and definitely larger than we expected, including two furnished outdoor decks, a large dining area and a good-sized kitchen. Great to find an affordable, VERY pet-friendly place in Idyllwild.

Not worth it

To start the oictures posted for this booking did not match when I arrived. Everything in the cabin was broken and you can tell needed repairs. The main cincern was there being no hot water. The host informed to run the kitchen water at the same time. In my opinion I didn't pay to jimmy rig things during my stay. All and all i don't recommend this place at all.

Classic Mountain Cabin

We had great couple of days stay here. Great location near the Village and easy access off the main road. Well equipped modern kitchen and bath in a classic old style cabin that's a little rough around the edges in the best way possible. Mark, the owner, was great, communication and instructions minimal and easy. Highly recommend!

Why they chose this property

As a realtor I've seen a lot of homes on the mountain. This property stood out the minute I saw it. It's from an era long gone. My first thought was Goldilocks and 3 cabins in the woods! I was so excited and couldn't wait to start my projects to make this place beautiful. I wanted to create the warm cabin feel and invite my guests to enjoy old Idyllwild charm. Situated in a nice area but close to town. The home is new to VRBO as of June 2018.

What makes this property unique

Gorgeous hardwood floors and cedar walls/ceilings. My favorite thing is the pocket windows in the living room and the rock fireplace. The home is roomy and comfortable.
