Second stay with my family and it was wonderful

This was my second time staying here with my family and it was perfect. The cabin was well equipped and we didn't need to bring anything besides our clothes! I was able to cook all meals in the kitchen. The location was perfect and close to town but far enough away from noise to make a peaceful experience. Will go there again!

Cozy, peaceful cottage.

Nice and comfortable place surrounded by huge pine trees. The decor was a throw back to the 70s, but I kind of liked that. Nicely equipped kitchen. Comfortable beds.

Dark and dreary

No cell phone reception when we arrived. Office was closed but suppose to be open. Office was hard to find. Had to ask neighbor real estate building for help. Then had to use the real estate network to call. Outside cabin property is extremely awkward for seniors and toddlers. It was not described in description. Not stable. Inside dark and dreary. Took a long time to figure out lighting. Shower door on far side was useless. Uncomfortable. Difficult to get the water warm. Too many pillows.

Lovely mountain retreat

Beautiful property and very clean and comfortable home. We loved the spacious second-floor great room with large windows looking out into the trees and mountains. Both bedrooms open onto the large front deck where we enjoyed morning coffee. The jacuzzi tub was wonderful after some long days and we were very pleased with the good quality cooking ware and well-stocked kitchen. Definitely hope to come back again.

little get-away

Cabin is quiet and cozy-secluded area surrounded by trees- cabin a bit run down-remote control issues, no batteries or low batteries- damp towels hanging in bathroom-damp sheets and towels in dryer- kitchen and bath very clean Check-in would have been better at 3:00 and honestly too far to walk to town where you would have to walk on the main road without a sidewalk, unsafe.

My husband and I really enjoyed staying at this quiet cabin with views of trees out all the windows. The kitchen is extremely well equipped which was great as we cooked all our meals in. The fireplace was warm and cozy. The cabin was very clean and all the appliances and toilet are new. Couch and bed were comfortable. We would stay here again. 😁

Amazing private cabin****

This cabin had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. Kids had a lot of fun with the ps3 and Wii that were available. Also, the cabin was very private surrounded by trees and nature.

Very comfortable

The property was beautiful. The house was as advertised. The cookware was in good shape and there was plenty of it. The only thing I would change would be if they gave more direction on how to use the heater. The in floor heater went out at one point, mostly probably because we tried to turn it up too high, or the pilot went out. However, our host was able to help us the next day and the rest of our stay was perfect.

Secluded Cabin with all amenities

Cabin was spacious and fireplace was great. Heater worked great, especially with the cold weather outside. You do go through a patch of dirt road and it was hard to get the cars up the hilly ramp to park. Definitely recommend bringing chains roe that section or 4wd. We bought salt to spread on the ice and a shovel to clear some if the ice out. Other than that, ot was a great stay, everything worked great, grilled some meat outside.

I think there is a deer trail that runs through it, two walked through the day we left. The carpet and some details were a bit dated, but that’s about the only thing I could say about the place. Loved having a wood burning fireplace.

It was very clean with exception of the loft which needed a little TLC to get rid of spiders and webs, but other than that it was tidy and clean. Location was very hard to find but when we called management they were attentive in helping us find it during after hours. The location was peaceful with large trees around. We enjoy sledding on the property too. Be sure to bring your our sleds.

Cozy Cabin.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Half of the road to the cabin was washed out just below the turn off from the main road which was impossible to see when arriving in the dark. The bed was comfortable. The shower nozzle was short but there was decent water pressure. There was no soap in the shower. Also no tissues anywhere we could find. Once the heater was turned on, the cabin was warm in the bedroom and bathroom. The firepllace doesn’t work. Vrbo gives you no advance notice that the rental management company for this cabin has a very unreasonable, one-sided, 9 page rental agreement that has to be signed after you’ve already committed and paid VRBO for use of the cabin. VRBO should make renters aware of this additional document prior to the commitment to rent, especially if you are committing after the cancellation date. Vrbo will not return your payment if you don’t want to sign the document with the rental management company (because of all the liability you’re signing up for). I called Vrbo about this. Customer service reps there were sympathetic but unwilling to return our payment. We signed the document to get the key. We were only there for a weekend wedding and didn’t spend much time there. We didn’t use the kitchen. Fortunately, nothing went wrong. Had we read this particular rental agreement before committing to Vrbo we would have stayed in a hotel. This rental management company controls a lot of properties in Idyllwild. The management employee who checked us in was very nice and efficient.
