The NEST is a cozy cabin, ideal for 2 guests - but can accommodate up to 3. For those looking to travel as a group of 3, a comfortable couch provides sleeping space for 1 more guest - making 3 guests the maximum we can accommodate. Please note that the Hot Tub is a 2 seater, and the 1 bathroom is connected to both the primary bedroom & the living room. The door to the bathroom closes and locks - so there is privacy, but the space is small and may feel too cozy for 3 people pending your preferences. It should also be noted that because this is a historic cabin, the shower is quite a bit smaller than modern showers. Please see the photos provided in the listing for a look at the size to make sure it suits your needs and preferences.

Snowy Weekend
The cabin was absolutely gorgeous and I had a wonderful stay. I had to delay my arrival due to the weather and I felt that the property manager was not very understanding or welcoming.

Very relaxing weekend
The property was very nice for a small place, but plenty big enough for the two of us. We had everything we needed to enjoy our short mountain stay. The hot tub performed perfectly, as did the wood fire stove. We didn't use the outdoor furniture much but there was plenty of it. Very nice amenities (including lovely wellness products), plenty of towels, the bed and couch were comfy, and the hot tub was great. We will definitely try to stay here again!

So nice!
This place had everything. The hot tub was delightful , Hot and ready to go when we got there. Kitchen had everything we needed. We didn’t use the loft, but it would’ve been perfect if we had kids. We also made good use of the boardgames That were provided. It’s close enough to downtown and a perfect getaway for any couple.

Quiet Time in the woods
We had a wonderful stay at the Nest over Christmas. Everything was as described and the whirlpool was perfect for us. Finally a house that doesn’t have 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.We could even walk to the town center to get our steps in and browse the little stores and get some coffee.The only downside was that it was kind of dusty which triggered my allergies, so there is some room for improvement. Still a 5 star experience.

First time but hopefully not the last!
My wife and I wanted a 1 night staycation for our wedding anniversary. We have two toddlers under four and were in need of a relaxing stay somewhere… we stumbled across Marisa’s Nest and were more than pleasantly surprised. It checked all our boxes and we thoroughly enjoyed our short stay. Definitely recommend!

Lovely Idyllwild Escape
The owners have thought of every detail at the charming cabin minutes away from Idyllwild Arts Academy. Highly recommend this spot for a couple, definitely no more than 3 people (as advertised) and not for very young children. We will be coming back!!
