Quiet, secluded, pet friendly cabin. Everything was so clean & the cabin was so welcoming upon arrival. Would definitely stay again. A generator would be a great addition to the property.

Peaceful private mountain getaway

Super close to town but you feel miles away. The best part is you do not have neighbors right next door giving this place some really nice private relaxation. Highly recommend!

Fun Birthday Weekend Get-Away!

My friends and I absolutely loved staying the weekend here! The weather was amazing over the weekend and having the living room AC unit was amazing when it got just a little warm. The cabin was perfectly furnished and the rooms were so fun! The outside deck was perfect for eating breakfast or simply sitting around and catching up. My friends and I definitely plan on returning to this cabin!

Perfect Cabin

This is a great little cabin - nicely furnished and equipped. The cabin is in a quiet neighborhood, basically next door to the Idyllwild Nature Center, and is very private. The bird show on the back deck was great. Absolutely would stay again.

Private, peaceful, and close to town

Absolutely lovely location with pretty much no neighbors in view so really private. We sat outside morning and evening to enjoy the smells of nature and watch all the birds and squirrels. You feel so far from town but it was a super short, quick trip to Idyllwild town square. Fantastic hiking is also super close! The house itself was perfect! Felt comfy and homey and had a fully stocked kitchen (if you want to cook). We would absolutely stay here again!

Very CLEAN!

Cozy and comfortable cabin. Kitchen had everything you need to cook full meals. Deck is private and shady most of the day. Loved the power recliners also! Nice that it has 2 bathrooms and bedrooms are very spacious. Hoping to go back in August!

Mountain cabin perfect for rest and relaxation

We stayed close to Idyllwild Pines Camp so we could visit with campers and friends during day and retreat to alone time at the cabin for restful sleep. Cabin was perfect for 4 of us adults.

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.

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!!
