Fern Valley--the Perfect Spot in Idyllwild Any Time of Year

In the beautiful Fern Valley area of Idyllwild, the home is bright, sunny and open, and the perfect mountain getaway for a group of friends, one or two couples, or a couple with children.

Built in 2002, the home has all the modern conveniences (forced air heating, air conditioning, gas fireplace, microwave, dishwasher, electric stove and oven) and every comfort you'd want in that getaway weekend. Everything is on the first floor (there is a loft above the kitchen but nothing is up there) and the two bedrooms have queen beds and their own bathrooms with showers. There is a washer/dryer as well. The bedrooms and living room are carpeted for cozy warmth, and the kitchen, bathtooms, dining area and hallways are tiled. The huge deck has a table and chairs and is the perfect place to sit out and watch the wildlife and incredible sunsets.

The road to the home as well as the driveway are wide and well-maintained. It's only 1.4 miles to the center of town, and even less to many beautiful hiking trails, from easy to moderate to strenuous levels of difficulty. We even discovered the home is about 75 yards from the popular and easy Ernie Maxwell Trail, which also runs to and from Humber Park.

When we come up to Idyllwild we find our weekends last very long as time does seem to go slower when we're relaxing and simply enjoying the beauty of the area.

Check-in time is 4:00 p.m. and check-out time is 11:00 a.m. For earlier or later times please ask me and we try to accommodate but it depends on the previous and next guests and the housekeeping schedule. For groups with more than four adults (ages 10 and over) a charge of $30 per night per extra guest will be charged (maximum five guests). Quiet hours are 10:00 p.m.to 7:00 a.m. We asks that if you have more than two bags of trash you make a trip to the dump: Idyllwild Transfer Center at 28100 Saunders Meadow Rd., Idyllwild. Posted hours are M-Th: 7:30-5:30, F: 7:30-4:30, closed Saturday, Sunday and holidays (but we always find them open on Sundays, so go figure).

Hideaway in Idyllwild
Four of us stayed at the Fern Valley cabin. The facilities were immaculate and well maintained. The squirrels, chipmunks and jays were entertaining on the deck. It was so quiet and peaceful, we quickly decompressed from our daily routine. Love this place!

We love staying here so much! It’s the best location to park the car and be able to walk to town or walk to awesome hikes. Can see the most amazing sunsets from the deck. Already looking forward to our next time back.

Among the Pines
The property is wonderful. High on the mountain above Idyllwild. Perfect for two couples. Well stocked with everything you need. Plenty of games and DVD's if you want to stay in. Close to great hiking trails. The town is close as well and has plenty of restaurants and shops. We had a small issue and the property owner was easy to get ahold of and extremely helpful. We highly recommend this property.

Wonderful Property
Great floor plan. Trees all around. Squirrels harvesting acorns. Very peaceful! Only a 5 minute drive to town. You do have to climb a couple of flights of outside stairs to enter. We would stay again.

Rejuvenating
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Staying among the trees with the sounds of so many birds gave all of us a sense of peace that is hard to come by. The cabin itself fit into the outdoors so perfectly. Everything you need was there. Our host, Suzanne, was readily available. I hope to return often.

Perfect Idyllwild cottage
We had an incredible stay at this VRBO home. The house was immaculately clean and stocked with everything we could possibly need, from kitchen essentials to extra linens. The attention to detail really made us feel at home. The location is absolutely stunning—nestled in a beautiful area that provided breathtaking views and a peaceful environment. It was the perfect place to relax and unwind. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and scenic getaway!
