Everyone in your group will want to spend their time in the living room, curled up on one of two couches as the fire crackles merrily from the wood-burning fireplace.

In Idyllwild, Shakespeare fans will love checking out 'Will in the Woods,' an annual production each fall which features selections from the Bard's plays and sonnets. Besides this famous festival, there is also an annual international film festival and plenty more arts-focused events throughout the year.
If you're less about the arts and more about exploring the great outdoors, Idyllwild has that too! Climb over rugged landscapes, doing your best 'Wild' impression as you hike part of the infamous Pacific Crest Trail, or play it safer and explore one of the many trails and rock climbing sites closer to your home away from home.

Only caution for future guests is all the stairs needed to get to the home and inside, there is a spiral staircase that is narrow, steep and hard to negotiate, especially with luuggage or cooler. Seniors beware and those with canes, walkers or wheelchair will be unable to access this property.

Thank you for sharing your feedback and for highlighting your experience with the home layout. We appreciate you pointing out the stair access and spiral staircase, as this information can certainly be helpful for future guests when selecting the right fit for their travel needs. The unique layout and multi-level design are features many guests enjoy, though we understand they may not be ideal for everyone, especially those with mobility concerns or when transporting heavier items. We truly appreciate your thoughtful feedback and thank you again for staying with us.
Warm Regards,
Casago Team
Cabin is absolutely wonderful, clean well furnished beautiful kitchen, beautiful views many stairs, but we were able to navigate them. Just everything about the cabin is perfect.
It was exactly what we were looking for! Excellent stay. Love the feeling of the cabin, huge windows and gorgeous views. Kitchen is nicely equipped. The layout was ideal for us. Our 132lb dog stayed comfortably downstairs. The covers for the couch downstairs were so thoughtful. The place is within walking distance to our favorite Ernie Maxwell trail.
We actually enjoyed our stay in October. We booked it again for this upcoming May. Unfortunately, our plans changed, and despite it being a fully refundable reservation, they canceled our reservation and kept our money. I have been calling them for weeks without any luck. I keep being told that I will get a call back and I do not. The cabin is nice, but the property managers are terrible and bordering on fraudulent. I highly recommend reserving elsewhere and avoiding this property until they change property managers. Current property managers are Casago

Wonderful two story cabin with a great kitchen and deck, perfect for lounging and entertaining. Bedrooms are very nice and up to date, with a marvelous soaker tub in the master. Perfect for a stay amongst the trees!
This house was a great place to relax with friends for a holiday weekend. My dog is very reactive to fireworks, and this area is super calm and quiet. The spiral stairs up to the main level can be a bit of a challenge for some canine companions, but if they’re small it’s easy to carry them up. Overall it was a beautiful place to stay and we would return!
