It was tucked away down a dirt drive and a bit difficult to find, but that made it very private and quiet which was terrific!Lots of nature with birds, squirrels, rabbits and coyotes. Very serene. The home was a good blend of comfort and cozy. It was walkable to downtown, yet far enough away for total peace and quiet.It was a perfect place for our Bible study retreat

The house was so comfortable, the kitchen was well outfitted for cooking meals, and there were tons of toys, books, games and movies for the kids. The yard was really fun, too! The host was very welcoming and helpful.

Nice

Cabin was very clean, well stocked w/kitchen equipment, bed was very comfortable, and the smart tv was large easy to use. When I found a leaky pipe in a bathroom and texted the mgmt co, someone was over very quickly. Location was ideal.

Wonderful property!

Great lighting coming in from large windows, well furnished, clean and wonderful property! One thing to note - the driveway is easy to miss because of the small and low address sign and house is set back from the street. Look for paul bunyon on the other side of the street :-)

Even better the 2nd time around

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We just finished our second stay at this property. We're still very impressed with how clean, modern and comfortable this home is. It's amazingly quiet, it's walking distance to downtown Idyllwild and we're close to tons of hiking and walking. (We can also walk to La Casita Mexican, the best restaurant in town in our opinion.) On top of that we are very appreciative of the professionalism and warmth of the staff at check-in and anytime we deal with them.

Family Stay

The cabin was very nice and quiet. Well other then the coyotes howling for about 3 minutes each night. That was rather fun. This was a family of four adults, Dad, two daughters, and the husband of one of the daughters.Pros: The large living room and dining room area being inviting. This was the reason we rented this cabin so the family could sit and talk.Three separate bedrooms. Sure one of the adults slept in the bunkbed room but they liked it.Two full baths were very nice.Nice walking distance into town.Very nice and large deck to spend time on.Cons:The drive way is dirt and narrow, so you have to back out most cars. But it is long so you can get multiple cars in the drive way.A lot of the light switches didn’t do anything. So, you had to turn lamps on using the knobs. Lots of DVDs and Blu-Ray discs but no player. But it is a smart TV, so you can just sign in to your streaming service. We never even turned the TV on.Later than normal check in time.As a family retreat this cabin is great. We will most likely stay here again.

Perfect location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This cabin is in the perfect location. It is a short walk into town. Even shorter to eat at La Casita. The deck is huge. There is a large grassy area in the back that goes down to a creek. The kitchen is filled with just about anything you could want for cooking. Do bring your favorite spices though. The beds were comfy enough. Two showers and a bathtub. Water pressure in the shower is not good. I suggest googling for NOSAME shower head. TV has Roku. We added our fire stick. Some TVs had Apple TV. Big table for eating meals. We had a great time here. We will be back with the entire family.

Weekend Escape

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Staying at In The Pines for a weekend with our daughter and her husband and out two small grandchildren was a wonderful experience. It was the very clean and had everything we needed to cook and bbq. We would definitely stay there again and stay a day longer. The only drawback was that it is a long walk to town. Going downhill wasn't bad but coming back was uphill. So we just drove.
