Great place for you and the pups!

This was our 2nd visit this year to this wonderful property. It's very cozy, with a beautiful fireplace, majestic trees, has a well equipped kitchen, in an excellent location near hiking trails and a short walk into town. We and the pups had a great time and look forward to our next visit!

Fabulous cabin!

My husband, dog and I had a wonderful stay at Happy Trails Cabin. It's well equipped, cozy and in the perfect location for hiking trails and the local town. Kathy is friendly, flexible and provides all of the info you need for a comfortable stay. Highly recommended!

Little Mountain Get Away

We enjoyed this trip tremendously! The cabin was very comfortable and clean, it had everything needed to prepare any foods in the kitchen. Around the cabin are hiking trails and Park Idyllwild is just steps away! Communication with the owner was easy and we definitely would rent this cabin again.

Relaxing retreat!

We had a wonderful relaxing time in this comfy cabin. Such a great location. This was very clean. I was concerned, as furry friends are allowed, but not a dog hair to be found. All the comforts you could ask for . Would definitely consider going back if we vacation in this area again.

Mixed Experience

Having the park next door was amazing for dogs as well as secure backyard and porches. Quiet area at end of street was great and proximity to town. Internet that extended to back porch was appreciated as we were (unfortunately) working all week. Multi plug in kitchen bar was fully utilized. Back Deck could use a good power wash. Instructions on TV remotes' use were not correct but Apple TV embedded was very useful. Knives were woefully dull and borderline useless. Would have appreciated more cutlery & coffee mugs. No plastic ware containers for leftovers. Ran dishwasher per instructions (short wash, heat dry) and it only washed for 10 minutes, didn't dry at all. Questionable condiments in fridge, expired spices ('14 & '15 for salt & pepper) in cabinet. We left new olive oil as we did not trust using the vegetable oil. A/C did not (& I suspect could not) cool entire house. We left early because it was not possible to get a good night's sleep because of the hot primary bedroom & uncomfortable mattress. House was clean when we arrived. Needs ant treatment.

Amazing Location

The cabin is located just outside Idyllwild Park close to the entrance to the campground. Hiking trails all around the cabin. Short walk to town which has a market in case you forgot anything. Lock box was a little challenging to open. Once I put pressure on the numbers it opened up. There are cameras at front and back doors which are located under the eaves. I didn’t feel they intruded on my privacy at all. The cameras reassured my safety. I spent most of my time on the back deck that is built around a huge pine tree. There is a large fenced in backyard to play with your dog. The master bedroom is nice with a king size bed that was very comfortable. They’re is no noise. No airplanes or traffic. Just birds singing. The Nature Center is a quick hike starting right outside the cabin. Lake Fulmer is a must visit and only 11 miles from the cabin. There is a short trail that wraps around the lake. Took my dog and she had a blast swimming in the lake. If you want solitude, then I highly recommend Happy Trails Cabin.

Happy Trails cabin in Idyllwild

The location was well situated near town (1/2 mile) and county campground with hiking and mountain biking trails. It’s on a quit street, but see where it could get busy on weekends w/ people coming to campgrounds. Cozy, with a nice mountain feel. A few heads-up: 1) the king bed in master is extra firm, which causes restless sleep for us older folks due to pressure points, consider brining a mattress topper 2) Only air conditioning in front living area, so when it is hot in mountains, the bedrooms get a bit warm and stuffy. There are fans, but you are just moving warm air around. It doesn’t cool down at night into high 60’s until 2:00am or so. 3) If you are a streaming junky, the TV shouldn’t be a problem, being a cable guy, it was a little challenging to navigate.

Lovely Cabin

This was such a nice place to stay for my husband and I. The location was perfect. We are not young or in the best shape but we were able to walk to town. And Idyllwild Regional Park is right outside the door. They had a big tv and comfy recliners and it was set up so you can actually watch tv. Lol. So many places have the furniture placement so strange but not this place! I know, who watches tv when your surrounded by nature right? Well for us having a usable tv space is a must and this was perfect. But just lounging on the back deck was the best part. It was just perfect!

Great location, cute cabin, not a fan of host

Long story short, this location is perfect. The cabin is clean, well kept, cute and has everything you need. Unfortunately we had back and forth issues with the "camera" outside of the cabin in "green" recording/active mode when we were entering, exiting and hanging out in front of the house. My partner & I, we know first hand what it is like to own a nest camera. They work great, keep an eye on the home and offer security when you are away. Give you real time notifications and keep you in the loop of what's going on. The issue is, no where on the profile did it state the host would have (2) cameras; (1) on the front and (1) on the side/back patio area right outside kitchen. Upon contacting VRBO customer service, they also did not see this information posted for this cabin therefore they noted it as a "break in the security policy". Second issue, when the cabin is unoccupied, meaning it is fully vacant, by all means, these cameras must come in handy and give the host a peace of mind. However, when guests are paying to rent out your space and enjoy a trip - the cameras should be turned off or at least modified so they are not always in "green" recording mode every time someone is outside, lounging, walking in and out, etc. Upon asking the host to turn off the camera for us, she stated she would, only for it to not be turned off, therefore my fiancé spun the camera around so it would not film us, which led to the host claiming we "disconnected" her device. I loved the accusation! The point is - there would not have been any issues if you would of stated upfront on the ad;within the profile NICE AND CLEARLY your camera's, their usage and that they will remain on. That would have deterred us and we would not have been in that debacle in the 1st place. I wanted so badly to recommend this location to my 400K+ followers, however, I will have to give this a thumbs down. Being in the hospitality field and having multiple degrees in business and patient care, rule #1 - if someone is paying to have your services/space, please do your part in ensuring they are satisfied with their visit/stay and also follow basic guidelines that a hosting website asks you to follow. While I am sure the host has now added this information to the profile; 2 weeks ago it was simply missing; lovely VRBO customer service can also attest to the fact that it was not visible/nor stated. Thanks Kathy for the stay but we will not be back nor recommend this place, whatta shame.

We had to visit a second time

We enjoyed our first stay so much we had to visit a second time, for four nights this time around. The location is perfect. We wanted a small cabin so we could cozy up with our teens and spend some time as a family. Reading by the fireplace and playing games on the deck together was truly the stuff magic is made of.

It was a Magical Mountain Getaway

Our family of 6 had a fantastic time. The cabin was everything we wanted. Quaint and beautiful. Our dogs enjoyed the fenced in back yard. The host was very responsive for any questions we had. Cell service wasn’t great so just make sure you have all the check in information ready before you head up the mountain just in case your cell service isn’t working great.

Cozy place in a beautiful area

Happy Trails Cabin is a very cute place. The main room is a nice size and very cozy, with attractive woodwork all around, a high ceiling, western motif, and a great fireplace. The kitchen is nicely laid out, well equipped, and has plenty of counter space. The grounds are quite pretty, with numerous conifers, and a nice deck with gas grill in back. We’d definitely stay here again.

Perfect little cabin and location

This cabin is exactly what we were looking for in Idyllwild. It’s RIGHT next to a state park, with hiking trails super accessible. But then, in the other direction, a mile away, is the main town to shop, eat, etc. Best of both worlds. Loved the fenced in backyard for our dog. The kitchen was well-equipped for making nice meals, the fireplace was cozy, and the bed was comfortable. Would stay again!
