We loved everything about this property, it had everything we needed for the weekend. We will definitely stay here again! The kids loved it & wanted to stay longer.
Top marks for this accommodation and even higher marks for the property owner who went above and beyond to make sure everything was just perfect. Owners communication and efforts to be available to answer any questions and then following up afterwards to solicit feedback on any improvement suggestions was remarkable.

Thank you for choosing our private cabin, "Paradise Pines Retreat", for your getaway, and for your feedback. So glad you enjoyed it. We'd love to accommodate you again. Blessings, Cheryl (Owner)
Great peaceful time in the woods. Lovely view from the huge lovely deck! Very homey cabin. Very comfortable! Owner is quite accommodating and easy to reach and communicate with.
My husband and I had a wonderful stay! Cheryl was so easy to connect with and all details of check in and out were so easy. The cabin is so beautiful with everything you need, even movies to choose from and games!! We didn’t want to leave!! Hoping we can stay for a longer stay next time. Will definitely be back sometime in future. Thank you!
We loved everything about our stay here! Quiet and peaceful. We loved the view of looking out among the treetops and seeing open space, beautiful sunrises and sunsets. The birdseed provided brought a lot of lovely birds and critters to watch. Super clean, well stocked, lots of notes to help navigate. There were a lot of good suggestions of places to visit. The owners personalized our stay with cards and banners to celebrate our anniversary and birthdays. It was lovely, just what we needed. We highly recommend staying here.

Hi Gary and Debbie, Thank you for choosing our cabin, “Paradise Pines Retreat” for your special getaway, and for your feedback. So glad you enjoyed it. Also, thank you for leaving the cabin so clean and looking amazing. We’d love to accommodate you again. Blessings, Cheryl
We had such a great time. My husband and I took our granddaughter, her husband, our 3 year old great grandson and our 13 year old grandson. The cabin was absolutely amazing, had everything we needed, was beautifully decorated, the beds were extremely comfortable, and the area around us was very quiet.We enjoyed siting outside on the deck and enjoying the beautiful view. My great grandson had a ball in the playhouse, with all of its toys and looking for lizards. We had a grateful time together playing board games. Lake Hemet was very close so we spent a day there. The main town is very quaint with a lot of Mom and Pop style restaurants and shops. I highly, highly recommend renting this cabin and we for sure will be returning.
Wow! Not only is this beautiful cabin in a lovely, quiet location but it had everything a guest could ever want and then some! They thought of everything - from nightlights to birdseed for the feeders to every kitchen utensil and cooking spice. It was like we were staying in our own home and not someone else's. We loved the bible verses displayed beautifully on a few of the walls, along with some pretty nature photos. The vast view out on the back balcony is amazing all day and evening. Our photos are great! The cabin sits almost to the tops of the surrounding pine trees so it feels like you're staying in a tree house. Cheryl was so flexible with our check in and when we arrived, we were greeted by a "Happy Birthday" sign and a birthday card for my husband. We were blown away! The Phelps have generous hearts and loving, kind spirits and it shows in their hospitality. Thank you! We will be back.
