Really great home & host!!

David is truly a wonderful host. This was our second year in a row at David’s place. The home is large and gave my family plenty of room to spread out. It’s a comfortable 20 minute walk to town. I highly recommend this place!

Great family cabin

The property had everything we needed for our family Easter weekend. We only wish we had more time to enjoy all that the cabin has to offer. The photos in the listing don't do it justice. The decor is fun and interesting. The owner checked in via phone to make sure all is well. We only wish there were some basic instructions for things like the fireplace (is there a flue? we surmised not) and what controls we may or may not have for the central heat. Checkout instructions were via phone, but having them listed would be helpful when there is a large group of people. These are minor points and didn't affect our enjoyability of the property. We definitely recommend it!

Family Christmas Celebration 2024

This is our third year celebrating here and it’s perfect for us! Large dining table for Christmas dinner, big kitchen, cozy living room for lounging and visiting, pool table for the adult kids, and walking distance to town. The host is awesome and attentive. Looking forward to ANOTHER year when we celebrate Christmas 2025 together:)

Snowflakes Falling

We arrived in Idyllwild with snowflakes falling all around us. it was very cold, the roads were barely passable. we found the house, and sliding and slipping, made our way inside. Wow, were we in for a surprise. Everything had been set up perfectly. The house was already warm and cozy. Everything was available and working properly. The house was comfortable with so many interesting features. The music room was a delight and the pool table got a lot of use. The heavy snowfall was a challenge, but so very beautiful. We will certainly be back to this property.

Repeat Guests

We have been yearly visitors here since 2019 and wouldn't consider staying anywhere else in Idyllwild.This home is spacious yet so cozy and the ample parking is a huge bonus. The beautifully remodeled kitchen includes a double oven and is well-equipped, everything you could possibly need, including a coffee nook. Lots of outdoor seating on the large deck and the property is surrounded by beautiful towering pines. An easy and short walk to town. Host David is communicative and thoughtful; the home is always heated when we arrive in the cooler months and it's so welcoming. The whole family looks forward to many future visits!

Beautiful any time of year

This is our second visit to this property. Our first trip was November. Summer was equally great. It’s wonderful for family get togethers. Plenty of space to hang out and entertain all ages. The new kitchen and bathrooms are wonderful. Close enough to walk into town or trailheads. We will be back again.

Home Away From Home

A favorite family tradition-the weekend before Thanksgiving at this beautiful spacious and cozy home in the mountains of Idyllwild. Towering trees and a circular driveway with ample parking for all of our cars. Family favorites include a roaring fire in the music room with a beautiful piano and gorgeous floor to ceiling windows and spending time on the large deck with the twinkling lights. A well thought out kitchen, with every possible convenience at hand. Recent kitchen and bathroom remodels are stunning! Short easy walk to town. Charming guest house on property is available to rent as well, perfect for us as our group has grown. Host is very welcoming and easy to reach. Hands down best rental property and consistently excellent experience, always spotlessly clean! Very special place...

Fabulous lodge

Great place! Very comfortable, great communication with host. Plenty of room for our family group of 9. Kitchen was amazing, plenty of cookware and beyond the basic supplies. Probably the best stocked VRBO kitchen ever! Hoping to make this an annual trip!

Beautiful Wedding Destination

So blessed we found this location for our dream wedding. The property was perfect for our entire family (including out of state visitors), the outside was what we had envisioned for our ceremony and reception. All of our guests enjoyed the fresh air, outdoors and beautiful destination. Cannot wait to come back for our 1 year anniversary and celebrate with the family. Owner is very communicative and helped make our special day run without any hiccups. Highly recommend.

Great place!!

We had our annual trip to Idyllwild this last weekend with my kids and their significant others. The house was perfect as it gave us plenty of room to spread out. The proximity to the downtown area was great with only a 10 minute walk. Our host, David was wonderful and supplied the house with all the essentials you could ever imagine. I highly recommend!

A Wonderful Home

We had a wonderful time in Idyllwild! The house was spacious with plenty of areas to hang out. The pool table, the piano, so much fun! Amazing kitchen and grill where we cooked all weekend. You’ll feel secluded while still being a short walk from town. Great stay!

Winter Wedding Reception

This cabin is perfect for an intimate wedding. It boasts a beautiful, circular driveway that feels luxurious and expensive while not overwhelming the natural beauty of the pines. The drive encloses a perfect small ceremony site, depending on your crowd’s size, and a massive yard for your reception—large enough to fit a 20x40 foot canopy if you, like us, chose to experience the winter snow in Idyllwild. There are two cabins on-site—first, a huge house, which comfortably sleeps your groomsmen and bridesmaids, in addition to having a spacious, beautifully detailed interior. The kitchen was modern, robust, and easily accessible for preparations. There are several other rooms available as well for sharing experiences, but the highlight by far is the great room, which sports an elegance in its layout that matches the grandness of the piano you’ll find there. The huge windows overlook green trees that made a perfect backdrop for our photobooth. The second cabin is a bridal suite, complete with everything a couple will need to escape the business of the day to spend time together.All of this barely scratches the surface of this cabin in Idyllwild. David is a fantastic host, both accommodating and communicative, who genuinely wants your to appreciate your experience there. He is direct in the best kind of way, and defines the reasonable expectations for his property clearly. He is kind and responsive (and exceptionally priced!) I cannot recommend this 10/10 property more.
