Thank you for such a beautiful cabin. And the location is amazing. My family and I enjoyed our short time there. The stairs are a bit much if you have elderly or people who don’t do stairs, but worth it!!

Lovely Cabin
We had a wonderful time at Elk Horn Retreat. We stayed 5 nights and loved every minute of it. The cabin is beautifully decorated, well furnished, and extremely comfortable. The location is very private and an easy drive to town. Highly recommend this cabin for a stay in Idyllwild.

Cozy family cabin next to trails
Loved the books for the kids, so thoughtful! Perfect for our family of 4, with everything we needed in the kitchen. Wonderful location along hillside trail leading to the perimeter trail, the nature center, and a river. The secret tree swing was a super bonus.

Great location
House is located within a neighborhood but being on the property felt like being out in the woods with no neighbors--a great relaxing spot, very quiet. Yet, it was close enough to the Idyllwild shops and restaurants.

Peace and Solitude
Peaceful and quiet cabin nestled in the woods. Clean and spacious interior. No A/C and can get quite warm in the afternoon hours. Box fans abound trying to keep things cool. A portable window AC unit in the living room would have greatly helped. Beds were somewhat uncomfortable but tolerable. Kitchen and bathroom amenities were adequate as expected.

A peaceful retreat!
We enjoyed our stay so much at this lovely cabin: it was perfectly appointed with everything we needed! A fully stocked kitchen, tons of extra blankets and pillows, comfy beds and an excellent heating system for chilly nights. The deck was nestled in the trees and was so peaceful. We will definitely be coming back.

When we first stepped foot into the cabin it was immediately apparent the love that was poured into this home; so very warm and inviting. The cabin was completely spotless and very well maintained. We had everything we needed. The incredibly beautiful location can't be beat. There are bobcats that stroll through the woods surrounding the cabin in the early morning and evenings so please be sure to keep your fur babies leashed.

Wonderful get away at the Cabin
This gem is a perfect cabin for a getaway. Lots of hiking trails, drove over to the Palm Springs Tram and hiked there. Great!! The cabin is a perfect, just the right amount of rustic. Great location among the trees. Lots of fans for cooling off during the warm summer. We will be back soon!!

Cozy cabin
This was my first time visiting Idyllwild. My friend and I rented this cabin for the weekend and we’re pleasantly surprised at all it had to offer to make our stay comfortable and pleasant. It was a great location being only 5 minutes from the center of town and even closer to various trail heads and activities. We had a great time! Thank you.

Great, cozy home in Idyllwild near nature center and hikes
This home is just a mile out of Idyllwild in the mountains and very close to the nature center where there are several hiking trails. The cabin was very clean and had everything you would need for a home away from home. Full kitchen with nice assortment of pots/pans/knives and utensils. Enjoyed the real log fireplace and strong wifi/cable tv. Master suite/bath was very nice with very comfortable bed. I was here for some hiking and relaxing while attending BNP Parabas tennis in Indian Wells. Thank you for sharing your home with me...

Relaxing Getaway
We had a wonderful time visiting Idyllwild and staying eat the cabin. It was much more than we could have hoped for. Extremely clean and cozy. My only bit of advice is watch the driveway. It is NOT for a low car or with snow on the ground. It is very steep. Fortunately I brought my pickup and was able to back out of the driveway. We will be back!

Hike outside your door
We’ve been here one time before and came back because we love the town of Idyllwild and we love that this house backs up to a state forest. We didn’t have to drive to the Nature Center with the kids — we hiked! The house is comfortable and warm, which was perfect when a winter storm rolled through town.

Restful Retreat
This home is better than the photos show! Very clean and well maintained. The real bonus is enjoying the outdoors as the lot is large and adjacent to trails which lead you to the nature center or rim trail. I was concerned that the house doesn’t have AC given we visited during July. However with the fans, breeze and shade trees outside, we were never uncomfortable. We would love to come back!

We will be back!
The house was so clean and cozy. We felt right at home. There is also a trail right near the house that allows you quick access to nature. The back patio forces you to slow down and enjoy the peacefulness that is offered around the house. The beds were very comfortable and had soft sheets which was a major plus for me. I would highly recommend this house for a peaceful getaway. We are definitely coming back with our two girls. I will note that you do have to drive to town but it’s very close.
