This is such a cute little house to stay in! We only had issues with the heating circulating around the house and the toilet was very sensistive, we'd sometimes have to flush multiple times. But overall it was very clean and I loved the games and radio included (no TV so be prepared if you wanted to watch a movie or something). We had a good time!
Although the cabin can certainly fit 4 people, it was a wonderful, cozy stay for 2. The cabin is not too far from the downtown area and is very easy to find. In addition, the check in instructions were very easy to follow and we really appreciated the option for a late check out.
Small cozy cabin. No TV. Tiny refrigerator. Good for 2-3. One bedroom, up steep stairs, comfortable beds.
The home is minutes away from North Circle Drive, where the shops an restaurants of Idyllwild are located. The deck around the house in the midst of pine trees was very nice to relax with a cup of coffee in the morning, or a late lunch in the afternoon. The kitchen had everything we needed. I enjoyed being able to step out the front door and going for a morning walk. The area is safe and quiet.
Very quiet area of town, super clean cabin. Make sure you have plenty of wood for the fireplace if you’re staying in the winter. The gas heat only warms enough to keep the pipes from freezing.
We truly enjoyed our stay at your home. It is so comfy and cozy and on beautiful land with the snow. We wish we can stay longer! Until next time. Thank you for the opportunity.
