Stunningly gorgeous ideal location

Perfect in every way. Beautiful, clean, comfortable, centered in and around nature. The location is ideal, 5 minutes from amazing restaurants while also being 5 minutes from incredible hiking. The windows stare at peaks we hiked to the top of during our stay. This home and host are everything you wish for in a vacation rental. A truly lovely experience.

Amazing time at Haven Idyllwild

The home was very welcoming - easy check in process. The location is perfect and the views from every window are spectacular. The kitchen was well stocked which made it very easy to cook. We loved the games and books and fun places throughout the house to sit and relax! The decor is well appointed and designed. We cannot wait to visit again!

Spectacular!

This is a stunning multi-level cabin that’s artfully decorated, surrounded by breathtaking scenery and hosted by someone who’s thought of every little detail to make guests feel welcome and pampered. We can’t say enough good things about this romantic and luxurious little slice of Heaven. Literally from the second we stepped in the front door, we thought ‘we have to come back when we can stay longer.’ We booked it because the pictures online looked great. It’s even better in person. We loved loading up the wood-burning fireplace on a cool morning in early March. The Sonos speaker system played chill music and we enjoyed the spectacular views of the woods and mountains through the giant windows. The nearby village of Idyllwild is cute and fun with an artsy/aging hippie vibe. We wandered around the town center before our scheduled arrival time at the cabin. But once we were able to check in, we didn’t want to be anywhere else. Haven is a destination all by itself with a well-stocked kitchen and a grill on one of the many outdoor decks. Can’t wait to return!

HAVEN

HAVEN is a beautifully designed custom hillside home with an open floor plan with high ceilings and is a nice mix of traditional and modern design. A lot of thought was put into the designed in the way the panoramic windows in the main room and master bed room frame views of the San Jacinto mountain peaks. The location is ideal since it sits on a large heavily wooded lot on a small cul-de-sac street off Upper Fern Valley Rd. There are neighbors on either side of the house but the back of the house faces a valley with a beautiful mountain stream running through it and no homes in view on the downhill slope giving it a private quiet feel. I think that this is best location in all of Idyllwild best because you really get the mountain/alpine feel as a result of the large mature pines & fir trees, rocky mountainous terrain and views of the peaks in the upper Fern Valley Rd area. The location is 5 minutes away from Humber Park trailhead which has some of the best hiking trails in the area and 10 minutes to Idyllwild town center. The house has nice furnishings with a chic mountain design. There was beautiful artwork throughout house. Kitchen appliances were high end and the kitchen was well stocked. Also appreciated the instructions affixed to everything so you can easily operate things like the fireplace and hot tub. Beds were very comfortable and bedding was of high quality. The bathrooms had spa type soaps & shampoos. The house was very clean. There are stairs to

Friendsgiving Getaway

There were 6 of us total, 3 couples, who have been friends for over 25 years. We just wanted to get away for a few nights and hang out together. It was a stunning VRBO - one of the nicest we have ever stayed in. Everything was so modern and up to date, and the house was stocked impeccably well! It was gorgeous - we don't have a single complaint. Thank you for the lovely time. We all agreed we would definitely stay there again if we come back to Idyllwild.

Why they chose this property

Haven is unlike any other in the mountain areas of Southern California. There are certainly more expensive stays, but nothing with the care, detail and cabin chic luxury modern-meets-eclectic signature of Haven. This is the premier cabin experience in all of SoCal.
