About this property

For Rent: Relaxation, Beauty, and Pine Trees

This Idyllwild bungalow is decorated in the style of the arts and crafts period. We like to call it 'The Stickley Cabin', after the famous maker of arts and craft style furniture.
It is in the Fern Valley section of Idyllwild, which means that it is lovely, close to town while feeling miles away.
The large yard means you'll feel a real sense of privacy and serenity.
Appropriate for 1 or 2 couples. Warm, inviting, calm. One bedroom, one large bath, a fireplace, two large decks, and dog friendly. There is a bonus room with a fold out bed.
We have a CD/record/tape player, and books. When we rent, we also provide a 'renter's handbook' with additional info about the cabin, the neighborhood, and local activities. We are always adding to this handbook to make it as informative and helpful as possible.

4/10 Poor

Liked: Check-in, location
The outside property was not kept up. Many tripping hazards on the deck with broken deck boards and nails sticking up. The eves on the house and deck rails were covered with cobwebs, and the entire deck was dusty. The upper deck was in terrible need of painting, and the deck chairs were not fit to sit on. The first day we had a problem with the toilet, which there is only one in the house. It clogged on its own and after many attempts to get it flushed, we decided to go into to town to use the toilet at a restaurant. The next day we had to do the same. Finally, a plumber was sent he and after several hours outside he was able to get it unclogged, but as he left, he told us not to flush any toilet paper down it the leach lines to the septic tank were only 25% effective. The inside of the house was very interesting with furniture that fit the Stickley and Craftsman motif. There was only one television, and it was downstairs. There are several up and down stairs so you should realize there are several levels. Otherwise, we stayed there all but the last two days of our two-week rental and left early. Bottom line: this VRBO in our opinion was not rental ready and should have at least one more television and possibly a downstairs bathroom.

About the host

Hosted by Edward Dunbar

Host profile image
I am psychologists who loves to travel. I came during my childhood to Idyllwild. I didn't return as an adult until 2013....I was concerned the village might not be as magical as I recalled, and was happy to find that it was still a unique community! I love that the town is very friendly. It has something for everyone: Art, film, and music festivals; hiking trails both easy and challenging; rock climbing; and close to the Pacific Coast Trail.

Why they chose this property

I have an apartment in Buenos Aires that Ill be renting to travelers on VRBO. It is great to have a property closer to home and that I can share with travelers. After looking at several cabins, this one was an instantaneous 'yes!'. The cabin (vintage 1940s) was charming, the yard was large and flat, the neighborhood was lovely yet convenient to town, and the views of the mountains were amazing! Over the past decade I've done several upgrades - most importantly, forced air heating, a new bedroom in the style of Charles Rennie Mackintosh, and another deck.

What makes this property unique

There is a classic arts and crafts vintage feel of the home, and have thoroughly enjoyed adding 'arts and crafts' period furnishings and arts from both California and the United Kingdom. These include stickley style furniture, period artwork, vintage jadeite; and period light fixtures. The unique details make this one of a kind as a place to get away to.
