What an incredible stay! The cabin was absolutely beautiful, spotlessly clean, and in the perfect Idyllwild location. It felt peaceful and tucked away while still being close to everything we wanted to enjoy.The beds were incredibly comfortable, the cabin had everything we needed, and we felt right at home from the moment we arrived. And the sunset! We experienced one of the most spectacular sunsets we have ever seen. Sitting outside surrounded by the mountains and watching the sky light up was unforgettable.We loved every minute of our stay and would absolutely come back. If you’re looking for a comfortable, beautiful, peaceful mountain getaway in Idyllwild, this is it!

This cabin was so nice and cozy, I went with my dog to get away from all the fireworks on 4th of July and it was a success, all we heard was birds and squirrels running around, very peaceful and my dog is also happy !! The sunset on the deck was amazing and there was plenty of shades, lots of trees all around and nice breeze in July! Highly recommend

The cabin was wonderfully cozy and comfortable. The way everything is arranged, the appliances, the furniture, basics such as pots, pans, plates, and glasses, washer & dryer, and a large deck from which you can breathe fresh mountain air - all of this created a place that you never wanted to leave. We made a fire, we used the barbecue, we filled the bird feeder and watched the birds, and disconnected from the noise of life. The only issue was very weak water pressure in the master bathroom sink. But overall, a fantastic stay, and we would definitely love to come back.

This is a lovely place to stay, quiet, meticulously clean, well appointed, peaceful, sprinkled with local art, tastefully decorated. The location is perfect at the end of the street looking out over the valley with twinkling lights, a cozy cloud blanket at times and an abundance of sparkling bird chirps nestled in a lovely neighborhood. This property feels very secluded the way it is situated. Highly recommend, you will not be disappointed.

This is the only cabin in Idyllwild/Pine Cove I ever rent. The views are amazing and the wildlife is exceptional. Definitley have your camera ready at all times. Bring a big bag of bird seed to attract every color and type of bird as well as squirels and chipmuncks. Drive up just be safe. You may encounter a dear or two. Red Kettle is the breakfast spot but get there early if weekend. French toast.....Great. You can walk trails which are a short drive away or just the neighborhood wich can still wear you out. Everything is top knotch and the internet is extremely fast incase you have to do a little work. Enjoy the patio to the fullest. We spent 90% of our time on it. Enjoy and Be Safe. Paul

About the host

Hosted by Paul Zapala

Host profile image
We live in Palm Springs and love coming up to Idyllwild. We didn't intend on buying a cabin, but when we saw this one come on the market, we couldn't resist. Perfect combination of peace and quite, views and privacy.

Why they chose this property

This is an ideal location at the end of the street. It has great views, is very private, and isn't in a crowded area of cabins. Being the last house on the street and with a strong slope to the next lot, you don't have a house in the view's way.

What makes this property unique

This is the ultimate getaway for those that want to check out and just enjoy some peaceful mountain air and scenery. You relax the minute you step on the deck. Put some bird seed in the bird feeder and watch the wildlife around you.
