Perfect location within a short walking distance to town. Property is clean and well stocked with everything you may need. Fluffy tailed squirrels put on a show all day long right out your windows.
All went well on our stay. Property is in great location, close to town and hiking trails(drivable). Home is older, feels rustic but everything worked. We used the wood burning fireplace every day and it was a godsend on the cool nights and mornings! Great communication with host Melissa, very quick with any inquiries.
Loved everything about this spot. Easy walking access to everything downtown, and the surrounding gardens make you feel like you’re farther away from it all. The fresh apples off the tree and the lava room are a nice bonus.
Perfect location - in town, but off the path, so quiet and woodsy but walkable to everything. The cleanest cabin I have ever stayed in, it was immaculate. Everything is labeled and all questions answered by binder and signs in the cabin. Very comfortable and inviting space. Dog and family friendly.
I highly recommend the Cedar St. Retreat for a guest and dog friendly vacation! Located super close to town, this darling cabin has everything you'll need to enjoy your get-away in Idyllwild.
My daughter wanted to spend her 13th bday in a cabin that was within walking distance of town. Boy did this fit the bill! Very confidante home and the 13 year old girls loved the lift area. In the warmer weather, i can imagine the yard is so amazing and inviting for adventure but we're a bunch of babies so it was too cold for us to spend much time out. I would urge anyone wanting to stay at a place to check out the town to stay here!
The Cedar Street house is great... perfect location, walkable to everything, beautiful surrounds and views and even with the very close proximity to the village feels tucked away in its own little pocket of forest. The house was immaculate and very well appointed with supplies for our family of five and furball companion. Would definitely stay again.

Great relaxing cabin.
This cabin was a perfect spot for relaxing. Well appointed, beautiful backyard and fantastic location. The family had a great time here.
We loved the house so much and want to go back! They go above and beyond and think of everything! Loved being able to walk to town, that’s a game changer! Kids cried to leave!
We had an incredible weekend away with family. Exceptional home away from home experience on unique secluded property within walking distance of the local restaurants and shops. This place exceeded expectations.
Melissa was a wonderful host and allowed us early entry in the rain. The kitchen was well stocked, quality bed linens & comforters & our grandson loved the lava lounge. We’ll definitely book here again.
Melissa has created a wonderful holiday retreat in Cedar street with everything you could possibly need provided.
The location is perfect for walking into the town. We had a fantastic time.
If we're ever fortunate enough to return to the area this house would be our first choice for our stay.

It's True - It is the Best Location
Our family loved this home and the beautiful patio. All the details were much appreciated. When we go back to Idyllwild, we will definitely stay here.
