Faerie House Idyllwild ~ Luxury Art Cabin with SPA ~ Sauna ~ Views

Rest. Nestled away in a mountain forest, secluded from worldly cares, and built in close communion with Mother Earth, the Faerie House is here to ground you, nurture you, and rejuvenate you.

Wake up amidst the leafy canopy to gentle birdsong and whispering wind. The trees and wildlife are so close that the Faerie House feels at one with the forest — a bird watcher and tree lover’s paradise!

In the regal loft, savor stunning mountain views from dawn to dusk.

Wind chimes, suncatchers, and live house plants help soothe your mind and senses.

Feast like royalty! The Faerie House boasts a full chef's kitchen, complete with a vintage Wolf range, a wooden breakfast bar, and a propane barbeque grill.

Gather around the hearth, inside or out. The family room features a large stone fireplace, while the extensive network of wooden, wrap-around decks is home to three firepits, with seating aplenty and hidden alcoves for intimacy and privacy.

A multitude of skylights and large windows open the Faerie House to the Sun, Moon, and stars.

Purify your aura in the outdoor, open-air shower, or pamper yourself in the Mermaid bath.

Diamond Hibokozo lanterns, ornate light fixtures, and rustic candelabras create a high vibrational atmosphere. Golden taper candles are available for use.

Renaissance-inspired spiral staircases transform the Faerie House into a veritable, earthy castle.

Stained glass transubstantiates the abundant sunlight into portals to a celestial plane.

A magical respite away

This property is so gorgeous nestled into the trees. There are so many unique and artistic touches around the home. The pictures accurately portray the quality of the furnishings. Every room was clean and beautiful. I so enjoyed cooking with a fully stocked kitchen. I also found the jacuzzi, sauna, outdoor hammock, and axe throwing activities to be so relaxing and fun. This property is awesome for big groups with so many sleeping options and nice open spaces for convening. The views are so lovely with trees all around. There is good privacy without neighbors being able to view into the space. There are some beautiful trails close to the property and I appreciate having access and getting into nature without all of the traffic of other trails. Katie is very friendly and responsive to all needs. I look forward to returning as often as possible. This rental is worth every penny for an unforgettable stay!

A Weekend to Remember

Faerie House gave us what we needed for a long weekend away hosting many of our friends and family. It was truly beautiful and full of thoughtful, magical details. The multilevel deck was what originally drew us to it and it did not disappoint. This home was perfect for entertaining and connecting with our group. The sauna was also a huge hit! Gorgeous space for our retreat in the woods. Would highly recommend.

Wedding & Reception

Kate was an amazing partner and has built a gorgeous cabin that was exactly what we were hoping for for our wedding. The pictures on her website speak for themselves, but what we particularly loved were that there were plenty of different spaces for different aspects of the wedding. We held the ceremony on the back patio with the forest in the background and our family surrounding us (with live music coming from the upstairs bedroom patio), a reception indoors, a late night musical jam session on another side patio, and even a family talent show and our first dance in the front amphitheater area. There were easily accessible separate prep areas for the bride and groom with full length mirrors (with more room for the bride, of course). And the kitchen and outdoor barbecue were well sized for food and drink prep. Each of the bedrooms have a lot of character, so guests will have a smile on their face when they pick a room. The dance pole downstairs is good for a laugh (it spins much faster than you'd think!). And the sauna and outdoor jacuzzi each make for a nice relaxation space. Most of all, Kate was a tremendous partner throughout. She communicated quickly and was very friendly and gracious. No regrets about picking this space! -P&L

Mind-Blowing Idyllic Magical Retreat

From the moment we arrived at this magical retreat, we were transported into a realm of tranquility and awe. The architectural design of this property is nothing short of impressive, seamlessly integrating indoor and outdoor spaces. As we climbed the stairs adorned with beautifully crafted railings and huge tree growing in harmony through the deck, we knew we were in for a special experience. The property boasts an incredible treehouse feel, offering a perfect blend of rustic charm and modern comfort and making us feel connected to nature in the most profound way. Special lighting effects throughout the home enhance its enchanting atmosphere, creating a whimsical ambiance that is truly captivating. The fully equipped kitchen allowed us to prepare our meals with ease, The outdoor hot tub was a highlight, offering a relaxing soak under the stars—a perfect end to our adventurous days. As avid hikers and nature enthusiasts, we appreciated the proximity to beautiful trails and the serene environment that surrounded us. This property is a sanctuary for those seeking peace and a deeper connection with nature. We left feeling rejuvenated and inspired, and we can’t wait to return, especially to experience the unique beauty of each season. This property is a gem that should not be missed. If you’re looking for a one-of-a-kind getaway that combines impressive architectural design, mystical experiences, and excellent amenities, Highly recommended!

Wonderful Weekend Stay!!

First, Kate was a gracious and accommodating host throughout the entire booking and stay. The home itself is really wonderful; we had 3 families with 6 adults and 5 kids, and there was plenty of space for everyone. The kids loved the unique layout, as well as the loft beds in two of the rooms. Location was perfect, only about a 3 minute drive into town. Kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed for multiple large dinners. Would highly recommend staying here!

Magical quick getaway from Palm Springs

A beautiful property and secluded getaway. Check in / out was smooth, cabin was exceptionally clean. It's an exciting, twisty drive to get up to the cabin, I don't know if I could do it in alone , but well worth it if you're looking to relax. We will definitely recommend to friends. Just beautiful overall. All the rooms have a theme, huge kitchen, fit pits, hot tub, swing, and my favorite is the Yoga Studio with 2 Poles.

Magical Stay at the Cabin

My partner and I had a beautiful stay at Kate's magical faerie cabin. You can feel the love poured into the space and also the love that has been left from all the different gatherings that have been had. The entire house is so communal and welcoming with little details throughout that make the space come alive. Although it was raining during out stay, the outdoor area was the magnet of the house. We kept finding ourselves using the outdoor shower and gravitating towards the hot tub and treehouse area of the backyard. Highly recommend this house as a getaway haven.

Magikal is an understatement 🔮

I've been on trips around the world... from New York to Oslo to Spain... London, Belgium, Paris... and so many locations in between. The Faerie House was the most unique, memorable, and special location l've ever been a guest at. You won't find posh furniture or 800 thread count sheets but you will find a magical forest retreat that will cradle you upon arrival. Discoveries are around every corner and you will feel the energy of each room. I chose to generate my own energy and be the force of influence upon the space yet it is easy to see how some could feel pulled into the magic. Some highlights I'll never forget included the outdoor shower and fire pit, the secret passageway connecting the home to the lower outdoor level, the treehouse deck, and resting in the spa while looking up at the towering trees. Can’t recommend this location enough. Enjoy the magic and create some lasting positive energy of your own.

About the host

Hosted by Kate

Host profile image
@KateSunstar is an event and experience creator, business coach, and breast cancer survivor/thrivor who LOVES to inspire and empower others to live their best life.

You will find her between Sedona, Arizona and the mystical mountains of Idyllwild, CA creating artist's heart and somatic empowerment experiences.

It's my joy to share this healing and inspiring sacred space with you. I welcome you to come dance, play, create, celebrate life, and nourish your spirit here at this alive @FaerieHouse in the woods.

Why they chose this property

I fell in love with the Faerie House the moment I arrived as the guest of a mystical artist friend staying there. It didn't matter that the house wasn't for sale, nor was I in a position financially or health wise to buy anything.

I was still deep in a journey of healing from breast cancer and a "life changing" relationship at the time. Upon entering, I unravelled into tears, and immediately felt at home for the first time in what felt like an eternity. I knew with all of my being that this sacred space would nurture my soul back to life via nature, art, and community.

Divine timing combined with unexpected support from friends and family, met with an unwavering will to follow my hearts destiny propelled this path forward. And with a lot of hard work, I gratefully became the custodian of this truly magical sanctuary of art, play, and spirit.

What makes this property unique

The Faerie House was designed architecturally and geographically to bring the outdoors within in a divinely attuned resonance that the heart can feel more than the mind can hold. Nature spirits and Faerie Magick abound this mystical cabin with custom wood and iron work, stained glass and surprises around each corner that invite the artists heart and curious spirit to presence.

Made for entertaining, yet cozy and nurturing for a romantic getaway... you'll find whatever your soul is calling forth here in this secret woodland nest.

This one of a kind mystical art cabin has been developed and cultured as a haven for artists, creatives, and progressive minds to gather and expand in consciousness and community for many years now. It is recognized as a "Chautaugua House", referring to the early 1900s movement to bring learning, culture, and entertainment throughout America.

There are three outdoor fire pits and 3 indoor fireplaces, the hot tub area, outdoor shower, and outdoor dining areas are lit by twinkle lights and high in the forest canopy. An entire living room suite is outdoors with a perfect view of a wood shaded sunset. Multilevel connected decks let you explore nature from above. Inside, there are elements of nature in ironwork and finely matted art and stained glass abounds. Truly a work of art in architecture, and surprising mischievous art to delight at every turn and in every nook. There is a whole house indoor/outdoor sound system ~ connect via Airplay or Bluetooth from your phone. Each shower and sunken tub is its own joy. The library is well stocked with eclectic tomes and eccentricities.
