About this property

Designer cabin treehouse on acre with amazing views and privacy

Vista de Estrella is a mountain dream home--a true log cabin of glass and light. Set on more than half an acre, this gorgeously designed cabin is the very definition of getting away from it all. Rustic charm and elegant furnishings elevate this property with each window framing a perfect view of the San Jacinto National Forest for memory-making sunsets.

It's challenging to choose our favorite bedroom, as all three are well-sized and charming with unique decor that reflects the look and feel of the surrounding forest. For families with children, the backyard includes a charming, mini-play cabin.

Vista de Estrella is a place to catch up on naps, enjoy good long conversations with friends and family and dine against the backdrop of the mountains. Near Ernie Maxwell trail, South Ridge Trail, and May Valley Trail.
Riverside TOT Permit: RVC-1571

My family of 5 and dog enjoyed our stay here. The cabin and property are spacious. I loved the decor. Lots of reading nooks and a large deck to view the sunset. Good selection of books and puzzles. Kitchen well-stocked. The electric car charger was a nice bonus. There was an annual Idyllwild Adventure Pass to borrow hanging on the refrigerator. We received a home made loaf of lemon poppy seed bread upon arrival. The host reached out the day after arrival to make sure things were going smoothly. Overall a great stay and one of my favorite cabins.

The cabin was cozy and well supplied. Elizabeth was a terrific host who made sure our stay was pleasant. We enjoyed a fire each evening and played games, and talked, and fed squirrels the peanuts we’d brought. Our weekend was a great getaway in Idyllwild.

About the host

Hosted by Elizabeth Hinckley

Host profile image
By day, I am an organizational consultant for Fortune 500 companies. However my real passion is the outdoors. There is nothing that makes me happier than backpacking through Yosemite, swimming in the Pacific or biking up the Malibu coast. I'm a reformed bassoonist and worked in the music industry for years working at companies as diverse as Atlantic Records to the LA Philharmonic.

Why they chose this property

The minute I stepped in the door of this gorgeous cabin, I felt different. The light and views are spectactular. It's cozy but elegant, beautifully designed and welcoming.

What makes this property unique

Set on three lots equalling almost an acre, it's quite private for Idyllwild. It also is unique in the deck and views that go for miles.
