Gorgeous Retreat & Lovely Hosts

This is a beautiful, mountain retreat that you’re sure to love whether you’re seeking privacy, adventure, or a bit of both. The house is cozy and clean with incredible views. You’ll enjoy excellent linens, a huge tub/nice shower, and a separate studio that overlooks the mountains. If you like to cook, you’ll love the powerful range, oven, and outdoor bbq. As hosts, Tara and Jim went above and beyond when they thoughtfully checked in with us before it snowed to make sure we were prepared and safe. In rentals we’ve stayed in through other companies, owners didn’t seems to care if we ran into problems, and would then ask us for excellent reviews. You will not run into these types of problems with Jim and Tara. They respond quickly if you have questions and are wonderful people with an extensive knowledge of mountain life. We highly recommend their home and can’t wait to rent from them in the future!

Hallmark Movie Perfect

The drive. The town. The house. All seemingly straight out of an adventure romance movie. The house is tucked into the side of a hill which is itself snuggled up against the quaint town of Idyllwild all surrounded by Red Pine forest. The hosts, Tara and Jim, were wonderful as well. Great communication. We truly felt like their home was ours for a few days.

Baby moon!

Magical few days in the forest. We worked remotely during the day and chilled out on the decks or in the studio as the sun set every afternoon. Plenty of space to sprawl, close to town, and those views. Wow!

About the host

Your host

Tara is a 3rd generation Idyllwild resident, whose grandparents settled in the village in the 40s. Back in the early days of Idyllwild, they started the first grocery store, a clothing store, owned the hardware store, and the liquor store. Tara’s parents currently own and operate the historic Idyllwild Manor – one of the first vacation rentals in the village.

Jim was born and raised in the Netherlands and after spending some years in New York and Washington D.C., settled in San Diego in '05. Jim started coming up to Idyllwild for mountain biking, and immediately loved the town.

Now the proud owners of Sunset Acres – we are super excited to share this incredible place with you.
We are avid hikers and mountain bikers and can show you or tell you about all the best trails in town.
As locals, we also know all the best restaurants, concerts, shops, etc. Just ask!!

Why they chose this property

One of a kind custom home designed by architect David Lilieholm. While the house is amazing, the location makes it spectacular. With emphasis on site-specificity in design, the home was developed working with the natural features of the landscape in a way that enhances the opportunity to appreciate both the interior environment and the outside spaces.

What makes this property unique

The views. We're not kidding. All guests including some of our local Idyllwild friends are amazed when they see the place. There are views from all sides. Every room has a balcony or deck. Then there's the property with all the private trails- you can easily go for an hour long hike in the back yard. All of this and still only a few minutes drive from the center of Idyllwild.
