A Treat of a Retreat
Cozy Oaks Cabin was an absolutely wonderful experience. The charming 1940s theme was beautifully woven throughout both the interior and exterior, while still offering all the modern comforts we could ask for. We especially enjoyed the outdoor seating areas, where we could relax and watch the birds, squirrels, and even rabbits feeding nearby. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed. The communication with the owners was top-notch, making our stay even more enjoyable. We would gladly return to this peaceful, well-appointed retreat.

Another wonderful stay at Cozy Oaks
This was our second stay at the adorable Cozy Oaks cabin, and we enjoyed it just as much as the first time. The house is very well organized, spotlessly clean, and well stocked with many special touches and everything you need for an enjoyable getaway. We had fun watching the squirrels and birds, and after long days of hiking, cooking in the well equipped kitchen. The sun set at the perfect angle to enjoy from the comfy hammock! The e location is ideal for access to the trails and town, while providing a quiet and private retreat. Mike is an amazing host. We will be back!

Beautiful Cabin & Amazing Stay!
Cozy Oaks Cabin was a beautiful and relaxing vacation home for our trip to Idyllwild! Everything about it was perfect. The cabin has been beautifully restored, and there were so many thoughtful touches, from the coffee bar in the kitchen and the toiletries in the bathroom to the squirrel and bird feed in the yard and the provided Adventure Pass. We had a wonderful time exploring the area as well as just sitting in the yard reading and watching the wildlife. Mike and Sue are fantastic, responsive hosts, and we couldn’t have asked for a better getaway.

Perfect place for a romantic getaway!
There are really no words that can adequately sum up how much we loved this place!!! The pictures don't do the place justice. It was warm, rustic, cozy and simply perfect! There were so many little, considerate touches that made our stay wonderful: The fully stocked coffee bar, the labels to help us navigate things around the cabin to help us work things like the pot belly stove. Speaking of fully stocked, Oh My Goodness! We could tell that the pantry was stocked by someone who cooks. There were all the spices we could possibly need. But, the best part of everything was the personal welcome sign and gift. Mike was the most gracious host we've had the pleasure of staying with in our Vrbo history. He was very communicative and accommodating. Hopefully, we'll get a chance to stay at this fantastic property again!

We loved staying at Cozy Oaks. The hosts thought of everything to make the stay comfortable and wonderful, which made it feel so special. Cabin was clean and even smelled nice. Lots of wildlife to see out the windows. Birds, squirrels, and we watched a bobcat walk right by the cabin! Next time we visit Idyllwild, we absolutely want to stay at Cozy Oaks again.

Amazing Cozy Cabin
The cabin exceeded all our expectations and more! Mike and Sue thoughtfully left all the necessary information in the cabin, so we didn't even need to reach out to them. The abundance of antiques added a fun and charming touch to the place. The amenities, such as the well-stocked coffee bar, were incredibly generous. The queen bed was firm yet inviting, with fluffy pillows to make it even more comfortable. Exploring the various outdoor areas was a delight, and the swing hanging from a tree branch made me feel like a carefree child again. The added bonus of having feed for the birds and squirrels made our stay extra special. Needless to say, we will definitely be returning in the future.

We love this cabin!
Blue jays, woodpeckers, doves, quail, squirrels and chipmunks abound just outside the back porch. Take your coffee and enjoy the show as a lovely way to start the day. They are so used to people they aren't shy and the jays will take peanuts right off the arm of your chair. The cabin is charming and the hosts gracious.

TEN Stars!!
Where to begin... arriving at Cozy Oaks I immediately felt cared for and welcomed. Lights were on, a sweet personalized message welcoming me, chocolates by the bed, stocked coffee bar, and literally every comfort anticipated - THIS is true hospitality. I have stayed at $2k a night rooms that don't achieve this level of personal attention! The decor of the cabin is straight out of a coffee table book... the vintage details all beautifully chosen. The location is not only convenient to town, but a lovely corner lot with plenty of space to sit under the oaks AND thriving with wildlife... the hosts include squirrel and bird feed which I used daily, then I either took a morning swing or afternoon nap on the hammock - so soothing! The kitchen is fully appointed with everything you'd need to cook and entertain... all practically new and CLEAN. I really noticed how CLEAN and well cared for everything was, the space, the upholstery, the bathroom, everything. Plus everything works - I didn't touch anything that didn't work perfectly. But most importantly, Mike and Sue are extremely responsive and incredibly gracious - every need met (if not already anticipated and provided), every text responded to. I want them to adopt me. I'm already planning my next stay - TEN STARS!

charming mountain getaway
The cabin was a great setting for a mountain getaway. Mike and Sue were very helpful in answering questions before and during our stay. The cabin is charmingly furnished; a personal touch and consistent esthetic are evident throughout. Everything was exceptionally well organized, with very clear instructions and labels, and helpful suggestions for local hikes and restaurants. It was very relaxing to lounge on the two-person hammock while watching the birds flit around and looking up into the branches of a magnificent oak.
