Relaxing
The Little Cabin was adorable. My husband and our puppy stayed at the cabin. The cabin was a perfect size and well stocked if you needed anything. The property was perfect. The patio had a little firepit that made the evenings cozy. Our host Melissa was AMAZING. I higly recommend this property. We will be back and be staying at another property Melissa manages.

Relaxing beautiful quiet stay
Little cabin was beautiful! My 3 dogs enjoyed the back yard and loved laying in the sun on the big front deck! We had perfect weather so we were able to eat our meals outside on the front deck! Had lots of squirrel & steller jay visitors. Can’t wait to come back!

Good location
Nice small home, lots of supplies and fully stocked kitchen. Convenient to town, 5 mins to anywhere. To be honest, we were not brave enough to use the loft since we both get up several times in the night, and the outside/extra room would also not have worked for the same reason-no bathroom-so whoever stayed out there would have to come through the master bedroom or go through the process of unlocking the front door just to get to the bathroom. But we were ok all together on the queen bed. We enjoyed our stay. Thank you.

Spring break vaca
Great place. Great communication as I can be annoying with lots of questions but they were very accommodating. Only concern was I didn’t consider the stairs was difficult even though it was just one small set. Would love to return but may need a ramp or assistance lifting multiple bags but we had a lovely stay. It was a great location -a lil walk to town and cute place. We enjoyed the yard the most with sledding n space to run around, even the Easter bunny stopped by for a bit with just toys no snacks. Even though there was snow it was still warm enough to hang out outside.

Cool little house with huge yard
Me and my wife and three dogs really enjoyed this property. The interior design was very unique and comfortable. Dogs loved the big yard. As we are not spring chickens, the ladder to the loft was a little challenging but we made it work. All in all, we would stay here again if we were to come to Idyllwild on another getaway.

Beautiful accommodations
I could not have asked for a better place to stay with my dog. Easy check in process. Beautiful property. Quiet. I was able to not only have my dog off leash on the front porch and back yard, but was also able to walk around the neighborhood with him. Easy to get into Idyllwild as well. Easy to communicate with the hosts! Everything was well maintained.

Little House Big Fun
This is our 3rd time staying at Little House… We love it there. The location is perfect for taking our dog Rudi for walks in the neighborhood. The house is cozy and comfortable with a wonderful back yard. Close to town center if you want to go out to eat or check out the cute shops… Melissa & Emma are wonderful and accommodating- it’s 4 paw approved by Rudi and 5 star approved by his people! Come stay at Little House!!
