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.

The Whimsical Cabin In The Woods is an alluring two-story property that has been lovingly restored and redecorated by the homeowner. Cozy 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 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 a separate entrance on the second story.

The best part about this cabin is the large charming outdoor spaces. The entire property opens to an expansive backyard that provides great space for enjoying the mountain air. The back yard features an outdoor dining bistro set for 4 and 2 full size picnic tables.

The Location
The cabin is located just three miles from downtown Idyllwild-Pine Cove, 2 miles to the Idyllwild Nature Center, and a scenic nine miles to the Mt. San Jacinto State Park. The downtown area provides great eateries and entertainment including local shops, wineries, and the newly renovated Rustic Theater. There is an abundance of gorgeous hiking trails perfect for either a quick stroll and a picnic, or more strenuous hikes to epic vistas overlooking the surrounding San Jacinto Mountains. For day trippers looking to explore local Southern California the property is located only about an hour from Palm Springs and about two hours from the world-renowned Joshua Tree State Park.

    We really enjoyed our stay at the cabin. There is lots of outdoor space to hang out, the inside is decorated nicely, the beds were comfortable, and although the kitchen is small, it was well appointed. And it is just a short drive from town.

    The cabin was great! It is so cozy and comfortable. Kitchen is so cute, the bedrooms are wonderfully furnished with super comfortable pillows, blankets and all offer heaters (Which is great in the cold). It was a little far from town but a relatively easy drive. Overall a great stay!

    Would recommend staying here - nice layout with a detached studio upstairs with a private half bath. Everything was as advertised and we enjoyed grilling dinner and hanging out by the firepit and hot tub

    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.

    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.

    I had left a negative review prior to discussing a couple of issues with the owner, but since talking with her, she set things right. Overall our stay was good, the cabin is lovely and we had a great time.
