About this property
Charming Cabin Retreat-5 Minutes from Town-Dogs OK!
Welcome to IdyPines! This delightful cabin is the perfect blend of rustic and modern charm. It's located in the Pine Cove neighborhood of Idyllwild and sits off the main highway for easy accessibility. A short five-minute drive into town connects you to shops, restaurants, and local artists. While the home has been renovated to bring it up to the modern traveler's standards, we made sure to maintain as much of its original character as possible. We are excited to host you and your loved ones.
This "studio-style" cabin was originally built in 1943. The floor plan is wide open, but features very defined spaces. Exposed wood beams, original hardwood floors, and comfortable ambience are some of the features we know you'll love and expect from a cabin in the woods.
The kitchen is fully equipped with every cookware, dish, and utensil needed to create a delectable meal. New small appliances, sufficient counter space, and plenty of lighting makes this kitchen workspace suitable for any level of cooking. The indoor dining room seats five comfortably, and the outdoor dining space seats six. Enjoy a complimentary cup of coffee, espresso, or tea and welcome the sunlight coming through the large window in the dining room as you plan for your day.
New sofa bed, recliner, river rock wood-burning fireplace, and modern decor anchor the living room space. Technology such as a smart TV and vinyl record/bluetooth player add to the experience by keeping you connected to the world just enough until you're ready to go back to the bustling city life. But if you must work remotely, our fast internet connection is well suited for those joyous Zoom calls.
Slide the glass door open and step onto the new wraparound redwood deck built with the stargazer in mind. Fire-up the grill for a cookout or gather around the fire pit at night. There is plenty of outdoor seating to do both and the perfect way to soak up the beauty of our surroundings.
*A small staircase right off the dining area leads up to the main loft bedroom. It houses a new Queen memory foam mattress bed with soft cotton sheets and warm blankets. Perfect for a restful night's sleep or an afternoon nap after an invigorating hike.
*The "Bonus Room" past the living room is set up with a Twin bed and trundle. New memory foam mattresses, fresh cotton linens, and plenty of lighting and space for two people.
The bathroom has been fully renovated with new tile walls and flooring, tub/shower, vanity, Bluetooth speaker/exhaust fan, modern hardware, and plenty of towels to last your entire stay. Amenities include: Shampoo/conditioner, body wash, and hair dryer.
Up the small ladder outside the bathroom is the "Readers' Nook," which is the smaller of the two lofts. This is a very special space created for any one, big or small, seeking some alone time to cuddle up with a book, or simply enjoy the peaceful vibe. New carpet, comfortable floor pillows, and whimsical string lights will be favored by all.
*It is important to note that while the property is listed as a two-bedroom home, the spaces which have designated beds do not have doors.

My family and I enjoyed this cabin very much. Host was very speedy with responding to questions. Cabin was fully stocked with everything you need. Great location great property! Can't wait to come back!
Everything was perfect from beginning to end. We received detailed check in instructions prior to our trip, making it easy to drop off our luggage quickly and explore town upon arrival. The inside was just as pictured, cozy and full of small details that made our stay enjoyable! The hosts knew we were celebrating our anniversary and even left us a card/gift basket to enjoy. The location is ideal for those looking to be close to town but also go hiking. Once again, they sent detailed check out instructions early enough to prepare for our departure. I absolutely recommend this spot for anyone visiting Idyllwild.
This is a great mountain cabin. All the charm of a traditional log cabin with touch of modern panache. Has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The galley style kitchen is cute and functional. We didn’t bake a cake but we could have. The fireplace is inviting and there are good books to read scattered throughout the house. It was foggy and rainy during our stay, but our dogs laid by the fire while we ordered in Italian food and watched Good Fellas. Overall, highly recommend this spot.
