About this property

Beautifully remodeled mountain home with peaceful, private setting

Primary Renter Must be 25 Years of Age to Rent (Proof of Age Required)

Surrounded by towering pine trees, this Idyllwild retreat for five guests gives you the chance to unwind from the daily grind in the beauty of nature. Whether you're planning on getting out to explore the local attractions, or relaxing with a good book, this home gives you the best of both words.

Located just a block from the gently flowing waters of Strawberry Creek and a mile from Idyllwild Nature Center, you'll have local attractions at your fingertips. During the winter months, a 4x4 vehicle or chains may be required by Highway Patrol or Caltrans, depending on conditions.

Bright and cheery, the welcoming atmosphere is accented with crafted wood touches and plenty of space for everyone to spread out. Put your feet up and lounge on the couch while you connect to the WiFi to check the forecast before your next adventure.

Grab an ice-cold local microbrew and head out onto the private deck to watch the wind swirl through the trees as you fire up the gas BBQ to show off your grill skills. If it's too cold to cook outside, the spacious kitchen has everything you need to whip up a mouth-watering meal. With recently remodeled granite counters, stainless steel appliances, and a gas range, cooking for everyone will be a breeze. Let the dishwasher do the clean up while you unwind with a nightcap on the deck.

When it's time to turn in, this three-bedroom, two-bathroom home has room for up to five guests to stay in comfort. In the master bedroom you'll find a rejuvenating queen-size bed waiting to lull you into a peaceful night of sleep. The second room also boasts a queen-size bed, while the third room has a comfy twin-size bed and plenty of storage.

Spend the day hiking through the picturesque trails at Humber Park. Take the Tahquitz Peak or Devil's Slide trail to wander through the rugged landscape and take in the the stunning sights and sweeping vistas.

Take the quick 10-mile drive to Lake Hemet to get out on the waves. Kayak through the deep blue waters, or paddle along the shore on a SUP to get in some exercise while you enjoy the outdoors. Jump in line at the waterpark play areas on the lake for fun in the sun no matter how old you are!

The perfect spot to leave the hustle and bustle of city behind and revel in the peace of mother nature, this Southern California mountain retreat offers a spot to bask in it all.

We really enjoyed our stay! The house is very clean and nice! Amenities were great. We came in the middle of a heat wave so we were worried about only having air in one part of the house but it was doable . It cooled down at night and the fans helped. The house was easy to find and the neighborhood was nice. Would definitely return. We love Idyllwild!

Thank you for the 5-star review. We're glad Casa Tahquitz was clean, the amenities met your needs, and the neighborhood was easy to navigate. Sorry the heat wave made cooling a challenge—we're glad the fans and cooler nights helped. We appreciate you staying with us and would welcome you back on another visit to Idyllwild.
