I believe the written overview stated two queen beds. It seems that they are full size beds not queen beds. Also the beds are very soft.

Response from VrboOwner on 19 February 2026
We sincerely apologize for the confusion regarding the beds. You are correct that the loft contains full-size beds, and we will update the listing accordingly. We understand bed comfort is important and will discuss options with the homeowner, though larger beds may not fit in the loft. Thank you for your feedback, and we hope to have the opportunity to host you again.

This very rustic,cute cabin is a gem for a perfect getaway in the mountains. Well-equipped with everything you need including a darling fireplace to enjoy during the cold nights. Evening walks boast an amazing star-filled sky! The town is a short walk or drive away and hikes galore that we really enjoyed. The stairs are indeed steep so you have to be very careful and we noticed the carpeting was coming up which can propose a hazard. The carpet could stand to be replaced and maybe an updated sofa as the futon style was not comfortable. A small tv in the main living area would be a nice addition for couples wanting to cozy up to watch a movie by the fire after a long day outdoors. Overall, we had a wonderful time and we will definitely be back! Thank you!

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed the cabin, fireplace, starry skies, and nearby hikes. Safety is important to us, and we will evaluate the carpet on the stairs and repair or replace it as needed. We’ll also speak with the homeowner regarding the sofa/futon. The cabin is intentionally TV-free to encourage guests to fully unplug and recharge, but we appreciate your suggestion. We look forward to welcoming you back for another wonderful stay!

Thanksgiving Getaway

This cabin was perfect! We stayed for the Thanksgiving holiday and it was an awesome experience. We were able to warm up by the fireplace and visit the local tree lighting ceremony. The cabin had a nice thanksgiving gift package for us when we arrived. Check in was easy and the cabin had everything we needed. Would definitely visit again.

Old tiny wooden cabin!

We loved the real experience of a wooden cabin in the woods. However, there were some issues with our stay, the stairs are really steep, not kids friendly.

Nice, but cramped.

The cabin is well built, very beautiful and has the essentials. However you will need to mind your head and the spaces are pretty tight.

Great Cabin

Very quiet area of town, super clean cabin. Make sure you have plenty of wood for the fireplace if you’re staying in the winter. The gas heat only warms enough to keep the pipes from freezing.

Classic Cabin

We loved our overnight stay here! It's a simple, charming, mountain classic that looks like it hasn't changed in decades -- which I love. Really enjoyed using the fireplace (it got down in the 40s at night, even in September)! Super-convenient to town and gave us the mountain vibes we needed for this last-minute visit to Idyllwild.

This is a great little cabin with lots of deck space. Very clean, comfortable, and located close to town. Bring some camp chairs for outdoor seating and something to make coffee with. Other than that it has everything you need.

Second time visiting Walden in the Woods. Being able to grab a quick bite at a nearby diner with friendly staff, go for a quick hike in the snow, and read by a fireplace is a great way to unwind. Idyllwild has a lot of places to explore and already looking forward to the next trip!
