Beautiful views, creekside location
The property is fantastic! Beautiful views from every room!!! Bonus, it is creekside and you can hear the rushing water from the deck, still flowing Nov 30 :) Not happy with the check in, although the staff was nice, you have to pick up the key in town at check in time and return it by check out time as well, which cuts into the rental time… check in at 4 PM and check out at 10 AM :( There are much better deals out there, and flexible owners… I prefer to book directly with the owner.

Beautiful home, beautiful setting!
The home is wonderful - gorgeous all-wood architecture with soaring windows in the main bedroom. Decor is tasteful modern rustic, and furniture and bedding is comfortable and clean. The shady back deck overlooks the creek, with table seating for 6-8 and 4 additional chairs. Even with close neighbors on both sides, it feels very secluded and private. In the winter, it might be a bit cozy if all beds were full - the bar is the only indoor eating space, and the living room would only comfortably seat 4 adults. However, if the weather is warm enough to use the outdoor areas, you’ll have plenty of space. The jacuzzi was hot when we arrived - heaven! We did not cook, but the kitchen seemed to have everything you might need in terms of equipment, and there is also a grill that we did not use. Coffee, tea, and very basic spices were provided. Location is a short drive to the village - probably too far to walk for most people. My only comment is that these days, it is very easy to have a lockbox or keyless entry vs having to visit the office in town. Overall, the property is excellent, and we would love to come visit again!

Mountain escape
We enjoyed our short visit to Idyllwild and from what we saw hope to return. This cabin was very comfortable, the view in the master bedroom was amazing. Every where you look there are beautiful views or unique and well chosen artwork. It was a little hard to cook in the kitchen (stove was not easy to adjust flame and pots didn’t have matching lids) but we found wonderful restaurants. The deck was so peaceful to enjoy a morning coffee or an evening glass of wine.

It was Just OK
1- It is not a 7 people home. One bed is full and you cannot even sit on it bc there is a bunk bed on top and you’ll hit your head to that. The room is tiny! There is no way two people can sleep on it! Maybe just 2 very young children, maybe! 2- One of us hit her head very badly to a sharp edge of a lamp frame and it cut his head. The frame was very low! Why would they place it there? So low??!!! It started bleeding and we needed alcohol in the middle of night. We were lucky it didn’t need stitches. I have pics! 3- The fire place did not work. All the smoke came back in and we we couldn’t make the fire. And yes, we followed all the instructions and opened the flue. 4- The room on the second floor has a spectacular view, BUT there is no wall that separates it from downstairs and you’ll hear people downstairs clearly, and can not sleep if someone down there is speaking!

Relaxing & Cozy Cabin
The cabin is a rustic gem with great mountain views. Overall it was a lovely get away and the staff who helped with check in are wonderful. Do note this will be a real vacation as WIFI was non-existent. If you want to enjoy sitting in the deck in the evenings it does get dark and there is no outdoor lighting. Bring a headlamp so you don't trip on the stairs.

Beautiful but with one fatal design flaw
Great place except that the master bedroom (with an incredible view of the trees and mountain) is more like an open loft than a clsoed bedroom. It has no wall or glass separating it from the rest of the house, so you can hear everything from the living room and kitchen. We couldn't fall asleep until everyone else left the living area and the minute someone walked into the living area in the morning, the sound would wake us up. So, terrible room for anyone who doens't sleep very soundly or has trouble sleeping. Still, very beautiful.

Property Review
The actual house is really cool. Nice creek in the back and the place, even though has neighbors, seems isolated. The only complaint is the property manager. They are overwhelmed, understaffed and extremely disorganized. There was also a dirty diaper on the deck when we came in, which is disappointing when you first walk into a place. Had to wait over an hour in line for a our keys. I would book the place again but not through this property manager.
