Perfect Cabin

This is a great little cabin - nicely furnished and equipped. The cabin is in a quiet neighborhood, basically next door to the Idyllwild Nature Center, and is very private. The bird show on the back deck was great. Absolutely would stay again.

Lovely Cabin

We had a wonderful time at Elk Horn Retreat. We stayed 5 nights and loved every minute of it. The cabin is beautifully decorated, well furnished, and extremely comfortable. The location is very private and an easy drive to town. Highly recommend this cabin for a stay in Idyllwild.

Thank you for such a beautiful cabin. And the location is amazing. My family and I enjoyed our short time there. The stairs are a bit much if you have elderly or people who don’t do stairs, but worth it!!

Cabin in the woods

We had lots of wildlife, enough trees and space between the road and other neighbors that we had great privacy. A great hiking trail just off the property. Loved it!

Cozy family cabin next to trails

Loved the books for the kids, so thoughtful! Perfect for our family of 4, with everything we needed in the kitchen. Wonderful location along hillside trail leading to the perimeter trail, the nature center, and a river. The secret tree swing was a super bonus.

A peaceful retreat!

We enjoyed our stay so much at this lovely cabin: it was perfectly appointed with everything we needed! A fully stocked kitchen, tons of extra blankets and pillows, comfy beds and an excellent heating system for chilly nights. The deck was nestled in the trees and was so peaceful. We will definitely be coming back.

Wonderful get away at the Cabin

This gem is a perfect cabin for a getaway. Lots of hiking trails, drove over to the Palm Springs Tram and hiked there. Great!! The cabin is a perfect, just the right amount of rustic. Great location among the trees. Lots of fans for cooling off during the warm summer. We will be back soon!!

Idyllwild Cabin

We loved the rustic mountain look and feel of the cabin, the beds and furniture were very nice, and the kitchen was well stocked with amenities. No air conditioning, so in hot weather the cabin gets extremely warn and the fans provided are ineffective. We would like to try to stay there in cooler weather.

Great, cozy home in Idyllwild near nature center and hikes

This home is just a mile out of Idyllwild in the mountains and very close to the nature center where there are several hiking trails. The cabin was very clean and had everything you would need for a home away from home. Full kitchen with nice assortment of pots/pans/knives and utensils. Enjoyed the real log fireplace and strong wifi/cable tv. Master suite/bath was very nice with very comfortable bed. I was here for some hiking and relaxing while attending BNP Parabas tennis in Indian Wells. Thank you for sharing your home with me...

Christmas Getaway

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay during the Christmas holiday. The cabin was charming and had everything we needed. The kitchen was well-stocked so that we were able to cook a festive Christmas dinner and other meals during our stay. Please note there was no grill outside, but the host provided a small "Foreman" type grill for inside use. Quite a few trails were able to be accessed directly from the property which we loved! Another note: A pack of cayote walked close to the house one afternoon. We were very glad our dogs were inside at the time.We would gladly book another stay at this adorable dog-friendly cabin!

Great cabin

The cabin is lovely. Well laid out & nicely appointed. The central heat was nice- we kept it at 65/66 & it was perfect. I brougt wood, but am leaving it for the next guest. As, check in is not until 4pm and we arrived at 4:30 almost dark, a better exterior lighting would have been appreciated. Your flashlights all need batteries. Otherwise, we really enjoyed our stay hre. This was a Christmas present to my mom, who used to live here in Idyllwild.w

Peace and Solitude

Peaceful and quiet cabin nestled in the woods. Clean and spacious interior. No A/C and can get quite warm in the afternoon hours. Box fans abound trying to keep things cool. A portable window AC unit in the living room would have greatly helped. Beds were somewhat uncomfortable but tolerable. Kitchen and bathroom amenities were adequate as expected.

We will be back!

The house was so clean and cozy. We felt right at home. There is also a trail right near the house that allows you quick access to nature. The back patio forces you to slow down and enjoy the peacefulness that is offered around the house. The beds were very comfortable and had soft sheets which was a major plus for me. I would highly recommend this house for a peaceful getaway. We are definitely coming back with our two girls. I will note that you do have to drive to town but it’s very close.

Relaxing Getaway

We had a wonderful time visiting Idyllwild and staying eat the cabin. It was much more than we could have hoped for. Extremely clean and cozy. My only bit of advice is watch the driveway. It is NOT for a low car or with snow on the ground. It is very steep. Fortunately I brought my pickup and was able to back out of the driveway. We will be back!

Very peaceful setting in a beautifully maintained cabin/home

This cabin is located in a very quiet neighborhood about a mile from "downtown" Idyllwild. It is extremely clean and well-equipped with excellent kitchen appliances and cookware. We ate every meal at the cabin (mostly on the back deck) making full use of the extensive kitchen space and equipment. The birds and squirrels were a joy to watch and photograph. Despite the heat, the temperature in the cabin was comfortable due to the shade from surrounding trees and use of window fans. This was my 3rd visit to the Elk Horn cabin (the other 2 being over 25 years ago!) and it is still a wonderful as ever!
