Delightful
This was our first time at the cabin. Our first impression was that we are thankful that we picked this cabin. It has everything anyone would need for a stay. Just bring your food. Its close to town for convenience if you forget anything. Our dogs enjoyed their freedom on the property. Totally fenced in. Since we got home, we still have said what a wonderful time we had. We hope to go again in the Summer.

Best Cabin in Idyllwild Yet!
My wife and I have gone up to stay in Idyllwild several times and we both agree this was our favorite cabin. It was so clean and tidy inside that I would have thought it was a new build. We also loved the massive yard with a gate so we could let our dog roam around and locate all the good sunny spots. The cabin is located smack dab in the middle of where I wanted to be. Less than 5 minute drive to Humber park with all the great trails and the same distance to town center. Communication with Barb and Jeff was simple and they really went above and beyond to make sure we had an outstanding weekend.

This was our third stay at the Little Cabin over the first weekend in December. It’s perfect for our needs. Fenced and pet friendly, and all the amenities we need. Located close to town and pleasant walks through the neighborhood and hiking trail. We look forward to next year.

So cute, cozy and homey
Great little cabin with nice big property for our dog to go crazy chasing squirrels up trees! Apple trees were full of delicious apples at the time of our visit in October.
Owners were so personable and readily available with answers and information. They also gave timely information for finding the cabin and checking in.
We had a great time hiking nearby trails (used all trails app). We loved sitting outside on the porch and watching movies on Netflix. The skylights let the moonlight in during the night and the sunlight in by day.
Great little cabin! Yes, little. But the kitchen has full sized appliances and everything we needed for preparing and cooking meals. We loved our stay!

Cozy Cabin
We enjoyed our stay in the little cabin. It was dog friendly, smelled clean upon arrival, and had all the amenities we needed. The property was fully fenced in, which is great if you bring your furry babies. The front gate did have a small gap underneath, and since we have little dogs that can squeeze through, we had to keep them on a leash.

Quiet and peaceful
We have stayed at this property 2x now. Enjoyed it so much the first time we returned! it is a studio type setting, which we like! Great internet and Samsung Smart TV with all the streaming apps. Excellent air/heat unit, as well as a humidifer and purifier. Very sunny and light, comfy queen bed and nice patio for morning coffee with cushioned chairs. 5 minute drive to town and all the restaurants and could actually walk to a couple of you really like to walk! :) If you are a hiker, you are very close to one of the major trailheads. The property is totally fenced and a very large yard with a lot of natural areas. Highly recommend this property for a couple or a couple with a dog!

Little Slice of Peace in the Country
We really appreciated the quietude and privacy of this property. The owners left no stones unturned with the comforting items you'll need for your cozy stay. They even stocked coffee! Great restaurants and a market in town. It's a very healthy walk into town and back (10,500 steps to be exact), but a short drive. Plenty of hiking trails nearby. Wondering about experiencing it when it's snowing. (You'd need proper road tires.) Everyone in town was friendly and we were pleased to meet Barb and Jeff, the owners. Idlyllwild is lovelly and we hope to come back!

Very Relaxing
We live in the desert and we were looking for a place to stay to get out of the heat for a few days!
What a find we found in the Little Cabin. It was so perfect for the two of us. The cabin is very clean and well kept, had everything you would ever need. We loved sitting out on the patio for breakfast & lunch and just totally relaxing, and enjoying the surroundings.
Our hostess & host, Barb & Jeff could not have been more helpful with any of our questions. We hope to return for another visit sometime soon. Kathy & Fletcher Kolb

The little cozy Cabin on the Mountain
The little cabin is great for a getaway. I just used it for myself to look around the town for a little while, then go back and relax for the rest of the day. If/when I can walk better I would love to go back and go hiking on the trails that are close by.

Quiet, lovely place
The little cabin’s location was quiet and peaceful. Our dogs enjoyed exploring every inch of the property and loved seeing the deer that wandered through.
The cabin was small and charming. The bed was warm and comfortable, but a pull-out or regular sized sofa would have been a nice addition.
The kitchen was well appointed and the 1/2 pint microwave very cute and efficient.
