The perfect basecamp for all that Idyllwild offers! Idyllodge is a premier executive retreat on 1.5 secluded acres. Find your zen on our new yoga deck overlooking the private Strawberry Creek frontage. Relax on the 10ft Restoration Hardware sofa or soak in the Sundance spa under the pines. Features 3 King suites, chefโ€™s kitchen, AC, and a game room with a 75โ€ TV. A rare blend of total privacy and a walkable village location. Your luxury mountain sanctuary awaits!

We believe in "invisible service"โ€”providing everything you need for a private, seamless stay while remaining just a text away. As longtime local stewards of these heritage properties, we love sharing our favorite hidden trailheads and town gems. Weโ€™ll check in via message to ensure you're settled, but otherwise, we respect your privacy so you can fully immerse yourself in the peace of the mountains.

The Idyllwild Experience
All of our Experience Idyllwild retreats are located within a mile of the village center, offering the perfect balance of forest seclusion and small-town convenience. At an elevation that stays 20โ€“30 degrees cooler than the valley floors below, it is the ultimate year-round escape for those who appreciate design and nature.

Shops, Dining & Art
Downtown Idyllwild offers a thriving arts community full of music festivals, galleries, and a classic movie theatre. Youโ€™ll find excellent dining of all stripesโ€”from the local brewery to fine boutiquesโ€”all within a short distance of the cabin.

Hiking & Biking
The San Jacinto mountains offer world-class rock climbing, mountain biking, and hiking. Countless trailheads are located just minutes away, providing immediate access to the fresh mountain air and scenic vistas that make "The Hill" so special.


IdyllLodge features a keyless entry system for a seamless, contact-free arrival. Your unique access code will be activated on the day of your stay, allowing you to head up the mountain and check in at your convenience. You will receive your code and arrival instructions three days before you arrive.

Idyll-Lodge is exactly what the name implies. A grand Lodge that offers the best of both worlds: a rustic, cabin-y feel with all the modern amenities. Cozy, yet spacious and private for a family, friends, or a couple looking for an extra special romantic retreat. While this cabin is new, our family business has been serving our valued guests for over 15 years. Click on our profile to view our 1500+ reviews!

Coming through the front entry, you will be greeted by soaring ceilings in the living room. Our grand river-rock fireplace stands tall and proud, drawing the eye upwards to the skylights and tall windows that surround it. Opposite the fireplace is the state-of-the-art kitchen, and in the middle, our 10ft Restoration Hardware sofa entices you to kick your feet up and relax while watching the fireplace roar or catching glimpses of the forest views from every angle.

๐Š๐ข๐ญ๐œ๐ก๐ž๐ง
Into the kitchen, you'll find all the modern amenities. We have everything you need to cook a world-class meal: A commercial-size fridge and freezer, gas range and oven, Instant Pot Pressure Cooker, dishwasher, trash compacter, and ample countertop space. In addition, the kitchen is stocked with oils, an array of spices, and all sorts of cooking utensils that make for easy cooking and clean-up. The chef in the group can go to work while the others visit and watch on from the bartop that connects to the kitchen counter. Off the kitchen, is the formal dining room. A solid Oak, round dining table with service for six stands in the middle of the dining room that is framed by three walls of picture windows.

๐‹๐š๐ฎ๐ง๐๐ซ๐ฒ
Down the hall from the kitchen is the laundry room with a washer and dryer, and a door to access the two-car covered carport. Past the laundry room lives a half-bath to the right and the master bedroom to the left.

โœค Upstairs resides the family room and two remaining bedrooms.
โœค Each upstairs bedroom has its own en-suite, King bed, and picture window overlooking Strawberry Creek that runs along the back edge of the property.

The backside of the property is where things get truly magical. Giant pine trees sprinkle the property, and the seasonal Strawberry Creek babbles below. The expansive back deck has a dining table, and a sitting area with a fire pit to cozy up in and listen to the wildlife chatter. The ultimate indulgence after a fun-filled day sits in the far corner of the deck: a Sundance Hot Tub. Off the deck, you can walk the grounds of the 1.5 acres that the Lodge sits on. A second outdoor dining table sits creekside for dining under the pines.

Out front of the property, there is ample parking in the opening next to the Lodge and room for two cars in the covered carport. Inside the carport is an EV charger that is free to use.

Getting Here: The Three Main Routes

Idyllwild is accessible via three scenic mountain highways:

* From the Desert (Highway 74): The "Pines to Palms" Highway from Palm Desert. Features dramatic switchbacks and expansive views of the Coachella Valley.

* From LA / Banning (Highway 243): From I-10 in Banning. This is the most direct path for those traveling from LA or Ontario, offering several beautiful forest overlooks.

* From San Diego / Hemet (Highway 74 West): A more gradual climb through high-desert ranch land via Anza and Mountain Center.

Nearest Airports:
Palm Springs (PSP): 1 hour drive. Closest and most scenic.

Ontario (ONT): 1.5 hours drive. Best for avoiding major LA traffic.

John Wayne (SNA): 2 hours drive. Great Orange County alternative.

Los Angeles (LAX): 2.5โ€“3 hours drive. Primary international hub.

Local Transportation and Walkability:
Once you arrive, the village is wonderfully walkable. The heart of town is pedestrian-friendly, with shops, galleries, and restaurants in a central hub. All of our Experience Idyllwild cabins are located within one mile of the village center and within a mile of each other, making it easy to coordinate between properties.

Important: Note on Rideshares:
Please be aware that there is currently only one Uber driver in town. Local rideshare options are extremely limited and often unavailable. There are no traditional taxi services or Lyft drivers based on "The Hill." We strongly recommend renting a car at the airport to ensure you have reliable transportation for your stay and for accessing various trailheads.

Nightly Minimums:
Weekends typically require a 2-night minimum; holidays and events may require 3-4 nights. Every booking is reviewed before acceptance to ensure these requirements are met.

Woodpile Option
We provide on-site access to our seasoned firewood pile for a small additional fee. This covers the cost of sourcing and stacking local wood so you can enjoy the original wood-burning fireplace throughout your stay without having to run to the store.

Awesome place to stay up in Idyllwild. The cabin has every amenity you would need/want for a relaxing stay, secluded location with a very easy and pretty creek hike, and close to the center of town so everything is within walking distance. I would stay here everytime I come up to Idyllwild.

Perfect Stay

Spent 4 days in the beautiful Idylllodge. Our stay included my wife, daughter , husband and 2 granddaughters. The Lodge was immaculate and spotless. Had a thunderstorm roll through and made the stay complete. Our hosts were very accomodating and the Idyllwild residents very friendly. All appliances are in working order and the top of the line brands. The hosts thought of everything. Can't say enough good things about this lodge. Plenty of space for 8 people. We highly recommend this retreat. Trail runs past the lodge by the stream and goes all the way to town. Took about 20 mins to walk it. We loved our stay and will be back.

From the moment we walked in the door - everything was perfect! Lights were on, music was playing and the spa was at 102 degrees. Was very welcoming.Everything was as explained in the post and it was super clean! Plenty of dishes and everything needed for cooking onsite. Took the trail by the stream all the way into town one afternoon. Every person we came across was so friendly.Would absolutely stay here again and I highly recommend this home to anyone wanting to get away and relax for a few days.

This cabin was a dream! I stayed here with my sister and my mom (all adults). We each had our own rooms and own bathroom. The home was solid and quiet - we could not hear each other get up in the middle of the night. The kitchen was beautiful and well equipped. We needed nothing for our stay. The dining room overlooking the trees was dreamy. The furniture was clean and cozy and there were warm blankets on all the sofas. The deck was huge and gorgeous. The creek and trail outside made for a great time of serenity. We soaked in the hot tub, played games and relaxed. We walked to the adorable town for delicious breakfast every morning. Very easy and beautiful walk. The host was easy to get a hold of and was wonderful to deal with. 10/10 - definitely come stay here when you come to Idyllwild!

Beautiful cabin, well-situated

We came to Idyllwild from San Diego to enjoy some winter weather. We stayed mainly indoors with some forays into the backyard to enjoy the snow and the creek. We didnโ€™t mind barely leaving the property since the cabin is so cozy and had just about everything you needed. The proprietor was easy to communicate with and very responsive. We would definitely stay here again.

One with nature!

The cabin is beautiful and in the best location. Close to town yet submersed in nature surrounded by trees and a creek right in the backyard. The cabin is situated on a huge lot with ample parking and space to play catch, ride bikes, and just explore. My boys were entertained all day exploring the creek and lounging on the hammock. The rooms are all well sized and updated with nice bathrooms and kitchen. We played shuffleboard each night and board games. The kitchen is well stocked with seasonings and oils which was much appreciated! Easy walk into town and restaurants but we enjoyed cooking in the gourmet kitchen each night. The dining table was my favorite space as we ate dinner with views of the forest all around us and then soaked in the hot tub each night. Would definitely recommend this cabin to anyone. Pack n play, baby gate, and booster seat were much appreciated as well! Would stay again for sure!

Strawberry creek forever

The kind of place that brought tears upon leaving. And weโ€™ve been coming to strawberry creek for years. Clean, well organized, (labels!), upscale appliances, comfortable beds, family friendly home with lots of space, but who wants to spend anytime inside, particularly when the creek is running. This almost palatial home is right on the creek and if you time it right, you will hear the creek as you sleep at night. Mental health break for everyone. No tv in great room downstairs meant we brought out our guitars and sang. But plenty of screens, especially upstairs, for the couch potatoes. Great family time negotiating this yearsโ€™ wild, chaotic creek path during snowmelt. And then a fabulous jet in the new small, hot tub on the porch to melt the aches and pains away. None of us actually walked into town, but it is a two minute drive, and still you feel as if you are in the complete and utter wilderness. This place has it all. Privacy. Trees. Boutiques and good restaurants a close walk or drive. You may have an entire itinerary planned, but donโ€™t be surprised if you just want to sit down in the hammock and read a book while you look out at the creek. Hosts respond literally immediately if you have an issue. Easiest in and easiest out at a VRBO in a long time. We will be back. True vacation.

Amazing Home and Location

If you're looking for a classic mountain escape experience, this is it. Surrounded by forest and adjacent to a creek, it felt like our family was alone in the forest. What's equally amazing, though, is how conveniently located this quiet and seemingly remote location is to restaurants and shops. The house is stunning. Large, beautifully appointed and comfortable. We had so much fun playing tabletop shuffleboard that we're in the process of buying one for our own home. The living room and dining room are exceptionally lovely. In short, you'd be crazy NOT to make this the place you stay in Idyllwild!

Perfect 29th Anniversary Getaway

We have stayed at many properties over the years and IdyllLodge, by far, was the best! The home has everything you could possibly think of and more and is exactly as described. We wanted to avoid airports and escape the heat, so we decided on a local trip to the mountains. Driving up to the home, the pictures did not do justice, it is gorgeous. As we unpacked, we suddenly heard the rush of Strawberry Creek right out the back door of the propertyโ€”what a treat. We had coffee here daily and a creekside picnic. Getting used to the altitude took a day, so we took a light hike into town along the creek for residents. After a rest day, we ventured out to Devils Slide Trail. This is moderately strenuous, so make sure to bring plenty of water. We gratefully used the Forest Adventure pass provided. After an afternoon of hiking, we relaxed in the crystal clear hot tub that was so easy to useโ€”a perfect 101 degrees. As we wound down in the tub, a cool afternoon shower rained down on us. There is plenty of space all over the house to spread out. The kitchen is spacious and is great for entertaining. There are 3 sliding doors to the balcony and grill area. The view off the balcony is so peaceful; we read, grilled and did yoga on this beautiful balcony with a view. Thank you Erin and Kelly for responding so quickly not our questions and inquiries and making check-in a breeze. The instructions were easy and covered all that we needed for our stay. IdyllLodge is our new favorite local vacation!
