The Property Take a scenic mountain drive up the San Jacinto Mountains just East of Los Angeles and find yourself nestled amongst the pine trees in Idyllwild, California. Welcome to our Whimsical Cabin In The Woods, a beautiful three-bedroom cabin located on a quiet mountain road in one of Southern California's best kept secrets.

Cozy on up next to the wood burning stove underneath the wood vaulted ceilings and enjoy the calming atmosphere that only the mountains can provide. The cabin offers a fully stocked kitchen for all of your cooking needs, a beautiful second story principle bedroom with floor to ceiling windows, and a kid's room with a bunk bed and an additional pull-out trundle bed. The property has an additional suite with a day-bed and en suite half-bath located via separate entrance on the third story.

They were able to accommodate an early check in, which was wonderful. The place was clean and beautiful. The outside was amazing. Really enjoyed our stay!
We came to Idyllwild for a family gathering, this beautiful home was perfect. The host and property was perfect and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We will be booking here again for our next trip to this lovely mountain town.
This was a charming and comfortable place for a few nights. The hot tub was well maintained (chlorine at the right level!) and a quiet neighborhood. Thank you!
The rental was just as described and in a beautiful location. Check-in was simple and the amenities were great! Definitely will consider again for another trip to Idyllwild!
Cabin was in great location, close enough to downtown area. We were able to relax and enjoyed getting warm with wood burning stove inside and the outside fire pit.Kitchen was small but functional.We'll come back.
We loved our two night getaway at the Whimsical cabin! It was clean, well organized, and super cozy. Everything you need for a restful retreat. Just minutes from the cute downtown area. We will definitely be back!
This cabin is what we all needed for a nice weekend. Charm and cozy space yet big enough to accommodate our family. Great private location 3 miles away from downtown Idywild and off the crazy traffic. During our weekend it also snowed and made our stay even more special.
The cabin was well appointed and supplied. The hot tub was a nice perk. We appreciated being able to heat most of the rooms individually. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful. All the admin was easy and efficient, and the owner reached out personally.
This cabin is just amazing. It is decorated so cute, but Functual!! The check in process was incredibly easy!! I feel that the owner and property manager really want you to enjoy their property. It really made us feel at ease. I really LOVED my stay. Thank you!!
Oh my! What an incredibly charming home! Beautiful neighborhood! Peaceful, cozy, aesthetically pleasing, great amenities, just perfect! So close to town center, this home is perfect! Owners are so warm, friendly, and helpful! The house is beautifully decorated, owner clearly has great taste! Kitchen very well equipped.Bedrooms so cozy! Bathroom very nice! Hot tub was great! We couldn’t have been more pleased! Planning to stay again in a couple of months!
It was a great property and we enjoyed it very much. They were a couple things we how to contact the property management for one was the outdoor fire pit and was the was the Wi-Fi but these were little things and we’re handled in a very quick manner.
My family wanted to get out of town for a few days and enjoy the "cozy cabin" experience. This house checked all the boxes. We had a great stay and look forward to coming back!
We had a wonderful time in Idyllwild! We came up the mountain to enjoy the Celtic Fair at Hurkey Creek, which was a lot of fun and ended up having a terrific time in the quaint city of Idyllwild!
We had a quiet, pleasant visit at the cabin. The bed was the most comfortable I've slept in at a Vrbo location.
Everything was as expected and the hot tub was a nice way to enjoy the evening and see some of the lunar eclipse.
Memories on memories to bring in the 2024 Nee Year.

Great retreat in Idyllwild
Enjoyed our stay in this comfy cabin. Great outdoor space and hot-tub. Well-appointed with toiletries and nice note from owner. Only minor inconvenience is no dishwasher. Very much enjoyed our stay and hope to return!
This cabin exceeded our expectations. It was the perfect spot for a relaxing weekend stay. They did not miss a step in decorating, it was straight out of a magazine! We loved the outdoor living too! The spa and fire pit were the perfect touch. Super close to great food and boutiques in the village. We would keep this place in mind for our next trip to Idyllwild.
