Idyllwild Cabin Trip

I was able to stay at Xiaoli’s VRBO place for the President’s Day weekend. Everything was laid out and labeled. Xiaoli was always able to respond quickly if need be in regard to any questions I had. As far as the VRBO goes it had everything I needed for my stay it was kind of nice that it was a big open space since it was only me and my 2 year old.

Mountain Paradise

This property was perfectly situated in the idyllic town of aptly named Idyllwild. There was a winter storm before our arrival and the hosts made sure the heat was on and the pathway shoveled prior to our arrival, which was above and beyond what was expected. The snow in the mountains was just divine and it was so picturesque. We hopped between Idyllwild and Palm Springs throughout our stay and it was a great locale to be remote but cozy. The home itself was clean and beautifully set up and made for some wonderful memories.

Delightful Weekend Getaway

This location was close to town and the parking was easily accessible. Beautiful fireplace, perfect for evenings in, cuddled on the comfortable couch with tea and fresh baked brownies. Space is very open and we enjoyed playing the provided games. When we had any questions about the apartment and the amenities, the hosts were very responsive and helpful.

perfectly satisfied with everything. It was clean calm convenient and easy access to the places to enjoy. If I could recommend at the least, the sleepers indoor would be better equipment. Thank you and we'd think visit this studio with a great expectation.

A little slice of heaven

For anyone who knows Idyllwild this place is just perfectly out towards Taquitz Peak. There is a beautiful view of the peak right from the front driveway. The walk into town is perfect for anyone. It's about 1/2 hour walk through beautiful streets and across streams and super pretty at night with all the cabins lighted up. The place is furnished with amazing furniture and the beds are super comfy. So peaceful!

Cozy Mountain Studio

The Owners greeted me upon arrival, which made the check in process very easy. They were eager to help me with the lock Box and to show me around the studio as I was the 1st guest. They were clearly very thoughtful in the way they put together the studio from the Shampoos and conditioners in the shower to the spices and such in the kitchen cabinet. The place was clean and the bed was comfortable. I would recommend perhaps facing the hes seeing the bed and the 3rd direction so that it's right not right next to the fireplace. That way if you're sensitive to smell you will not pick up the smell of the fireplace. Overall great place to stay and I would recommend. I was also surprised that it could sleep several more people which would be a plus during snowy season.

Idyllwild studio stay

It’s an ample studio for sure. Has everything you need for a comfortable stay for 4. The extra room is really a large slow ceiling closet as advertised but it was the perfect spot to sleep a 3 year old. The main bed was really hard for me but the day bed was comfy. A little more than a mile from town, 4min drive. But very nice and quiet and easy to find. Fast wifi, good cell signal. Super chill. We did cook once, had everything we needed.

4th of July fun

The place was home away from home; Clean, relaxing ambiance, and Xiaoli the host was always available when questions arise. With our small pup, Benson, in tow, we had a relaxing and quiet time, away from the fireworks. Even though tad warm outside, inside provided a cozy and cool stay. Highly recommended, will definitely return!

About the host

Hosted by Xiaoli Yu

Host profile image
A retired, Shanghai born American citizen. I enjoy travel around the world and visit many of the national parks and historic sites in the USA. I now choose vacation rental over hotels on my trips because I prefer the homey environment and full amenities which hotels can not offer. That experience encouraged me to post my studio on the market. I look forward to the feel of being a host to a fellow travel guest.

Why they chose this property

We bought this property from my late hubby's aunt and uncle. They obtained a contractor license and supervised the construction in middle 60s. All the materials were the best on the market. The attached and independent studio was the idea of the aunt. She claimed if the couple wanted privacy, they should be in their complete separate space. If they fought, then they could hide and avoid each other for weeks. There used to be a string tied with bells on each end and it went through the floor. That was how they communicated.
We have expanded the property during 2003 to 2011. The total square footage went from 1500 sf to current 3200 sf. The windows were upgraded as was the plumbing, electrical, furnace, and we now use a tankless water heater and new microwave, oven and refrigerator. We leveled the front yard from 2 car parking to 6 car parking. A new upgraded 1500 gallon septic system was also a part of the refurbishment. The exterior siding is fire preventive fiber cement Hardie board. The roof was replaced this spring and is fire rated A1.
In the rental Studio we just installed a split unit air conditioning system last November. My husband was a photojournalist and the "bonus room" in the studio used to be his dark room.

What makes this property unique

This is our second home, guests can enjoy all the benefits on the ground floor. A family can play out door games together such as Corn Hole which we provide. They can sit around the picnic table shaded by trees and tell stories and enjoy their meals. They can relax on the cushioned chairs and watch squirrels chasing each other, occasionally a family of deer will stop by and look for food or fellow wildlife.
