About this property
IdyllAway Vintage Cabin - Kid Friendly Sledding Cul-de-Sac!
IdyllAway is a 1946 vintage cabin on a quiet cul-de-sac. The rare covered front porch is ideal for relaxing and taking in the serene surroundings. The tree shaded deck is a few steps down from the cabin. Just a few blocks from the wonderful Ernie Maxwell trail, and less than a mile to town.
We are on a short gravel road, just off a paved road. There is no through traffic, which means it is very safe for kids to play in front of the house and the surrounding area.
THE SPACE
Large open living room and dining area with a beautiful heavy oak table for family dining. Unique vintage stove and original hardware adorn the kitchen. There is a forest themed cubby off the Living room with a double bed that is perfect for a couple kids. High quality linens and Leesa beds in the bedrooms.
Fast 500Mbs WiFi.
There is a large screen TV with sound bar, Netflix, Amazon Prime, and News channels. Coffee and tea is provided (we have K-cups, coffee grinder, and a French Press).
Free EV charging! No charging cable though… please bring your own with NEMA 14-30 plug (220V 32A dryer type plug)
$50 pet fee per week or portion thereof.
Other things to note:
Our little road is not plowed in the winter. As noted in the house rules, during snow days you may have to park at the top of the road, and walk about 100 feet to the cabin. There is one space cleared for you on the main road, so if you have two vehicles, you may have to park the other one down the road a bit.
Like many cabins on septic in Idyllwild, there is no garbage disposal.
There is one window AC unit in the Living Room (summer only).
This is a cabin, there is a fireplace, and it is used. We do our best to clean it out between guests but it is not perfect. There may be a slight smell of fireplace when you arrive.

About the host
Hosted by John and Lara
John grew up going to Idyllwild as a child. His parents enrolled him and his siblings at ISOMATA (Idyllwild School of Music and the Arts—now Idyllwild Arts Academy), where they learned photography, ceramics, and dance. When John brought Lara to Idyllwild for the first time, she loved it so much that on her third visit, she owned this cabin. Lara's dad, a retired horticulturist, also finds solitude among the trees. They spend their free time (when not working on the cabin ;-) hiking and climbing the beautiful local mountains.
