Cozy House, Nice neighborhood

My family stayed here for a weekend to enjoy the snow. The property is large and allowed plenty of space to play, sled, build snow forts and snowmen. If you bring all of your food, there's no need to even leave the house! The owner is kind and easy to communicate with. All of the neighbors we met were very nice and helpful. I would recommend this location!

Special house and property!

The house is located in a lovely neighborhood with many trees. The windows in every room take advantage of the views of the forest around. The decor is perfect for a mountain house, and the house is extremely comfortable. We have booked the house twice now, spring and winter, and loved our stays in both seasons. Josie is also great to work with!

Very nice place for a quiet weekend

The property is located in a quiet neighborhood surrounded by trees, it makes you feel that you will have a peaceful stay. The house was clean and well furnished when it comes to bed linen, towels... but it could have been better in terms of kitchen accessories. The central heating is very efficient and you also have the possibility to use the fireplace which is very nice on the evening. The house is located 5/10 min from Iddylwild city center which is ideal. I recommend this place for a restful weekend.

Amazing Mountain Retreat

Host was fantastic and very accommodating. House was lovely inside and on a good size property. Very comfortable for my family of 6. We went in January to see some snow, and we didn't even have to get in the car. Kids played outside for hours, even enjoyed some sledding in the front yard! House is tucked away in a quiet neighborhood very close to Idyllwild, easy to head in for dining or to pick up supplies. Will definitely repeat!

As we arrived it was snowing heavily, and the next morning we played in the snow and did some sledding down the hill. It was fantastic. Wonderfully forested neighborhood to walk around in too.

Perfectly quaint

A truly idyllic space for relaxation and rest. The porch and garden seating were both wonderful places to enjoy my morning coffee. The house itself was clean and inviting and the beds were super comfy. We very much appreciated all the fans in the rooms! We would very much like to return to this perfect little cabin home sometime in the near future!

Fit our needs perfectly

We enjoyed this cabin which we used to house my family of four while visiting with more family in Pine Cove. The house was cute and easy to access. Josie was easy to communicate with. The only problem we had was some ants around the entry door, that honestly didn’t bother us at all. It’s a great getaway. It was just a little warm even in the evening, but they had a fan which helped to keep the air moving. Thanks for a great stay!

Lovely

My sister and I both were looking for a quiet place to cool off for a couple days up in Idyllwild. When we got there the neighbors were kind of boisterous and Loud celebrating some kind of birthday but after we asked nicely if they could tone it down a little bit, the rest of our stay was quiet. Cabin has everything you need, and has a nice lay out.

Like staying at home

After a fun day, we go to the property at 7:30 pm. We love the place at the first glance, it is such a cute property. It's extremely clean and comfortable, the kitchen is fully equipped. From the tea bags, coffee, and a welcome basket with goodies, you can tell Josie really welcome her guests. The garden is lovely, and lilacs are all blooming beautifully. Thanks for making us feel like staying at home, we definitely will come back again.

Wonderful little vacation

From the moment I booked, communication was superb. Check-in was easy and quick. The place was clean and just lovely. There were even little complementary snacks and water left which really was a nice touch. There was a log in the fireplace, ready to go and everything was just right. It made for zero stress right from the get-go. Thanks so much!

Wish we could have stayed longer! Heater kept up since it snowed at night. Had the essentials in the bathroom. The softest blankets and pillows. Grandparents loved sleeping in the room with the fireplace. Would stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Josie

Host profile image
Hello, we are James and Josie. We fell in love with Idyllwild a few years ago when we discovered it. Our dream was to get a place to enjoy and get away for quiet and peace , and it finally came true! We both love to entertain and have guest over, so we decided to share our cute home with people. We are happy to provide a clean and comfortable home for our guest and give them a wonderful and unforgettable experience! To ensure your safety, we are up to code with secure amenities and 5 step enhanced cleaning process, a standard developed with experts for the times of Covid and beyond.

Why they chose this property

I fell in love with this home the minute I saw it! It’s cute and cozy and it’s on a very quiet street, all you hear is the birds!

What makes this property unique

I hope that you as well as I, enjoy the views of the wonderful trees from the deck and windows. The snow falling in the winter is an amazing view, and sitting and enjoying a cup of coffee in the morning or glass of wine in the afternoon out of the deck are amazing!
