Great mountain house

Terrific views in all directions from the wraparound deck. Clean and comfy. Nice open layout in kitchen, dining and family room. Good lighting. Quiet but close to town. We had a great time.

Very spacious rooms! Great views! Wrap around deck on upper level really cool. Great cooking kitchen and tools available. No one mentioned the steep long stairs to front door or the spiral staircase to main floor- only a problem with heavy luggage or coolers for a longer stay... Still worth it!

Visit with European Family

Our family from Europe was visiting and we wanted to give them a taste of cabin living in Idyllwild - this cabin and location was perfect. We relaxed, hiked, laughed and caught up in this beautiful space. The views from the wrap around porch were stunning!

Lovely Cabin!

We had a wonderful stay. The cabin has everything you need. The views are wonderful and just across the street from the river. We felt so at home.

this is not a good house for the elderly or small children as the front steps have no handrails and it is very easy to lose your balance and fall. Lighting in the house is very dim esp. around the spiral staircase. The patio furniture is pretty rickety and needs to be repaired or replaced. Overall its in a great location and close to a good hiking trail but definitely not walkable into town. House was very clean and had everything we needed for a very enjoyable stay.

Cozy Cabin

Overall, it's a sweet spot, pretty view from the wrap around porch. The bed upstairs was not very comfortable and having an open bathroom in that bedroom doesn't provide a lot of privacy, depending on who you're traveling with. It's hard to imagine more than four people staying in the space at once. Could use a more thorough cleaning but was a nice spot.

Great mountain getaway!

We had 3 adults and 2 dogs. This property was perfect. Our favorite feature was the wrap around deck and giant windows. It’s just a few minutes from town and very quiet and relaxing.

Nice little getaway

Good place for family. We were sad to be notified AFTER we booked that the main park to hike with kids was going to be closed during our stay; we felt that info should have been included in the property details for that timeframe. Otherwise property was pretty much as described.

Cabin with potential but some key misses

While the cabin has a lot of good things going for it - good mountain and forest views, big windows, wrap-around deck, it has a few comfort, repair and appearance issues that impact the overall stay experience.

Charming retreat nestled in the woods

This was an absolutely lovely stay. The house was clean, cozy, and beautifully decorated. The only caveat is there is a narrow spiral staircase to access the second floor where the kitchen and living room are. If there are people in your party that have difficulty accessing stairs, it might be a little difficult. This won’t be an issue for the majority of people. We loved our stay here and can’t wait to return!

Wonderful property

Property was just as described. Within walking distance of several hiking trails. Very clean. Beautiful view from the spacious balcony. Minor issues were that a lot of the windows either don’t open or were very difficult to open/close and the spiral staircase was the only way to get to the main living space or outdoor balcony making it impossible for our dog to be on the same level as us. Overall, it was a great house that was very peaceful and relaxing

Beautiful, but… not family friendly!

It’s a great place to stay with a group of people or younger family members. Beautiful views, great location. Little kids or older family members, not friendly. The stairs to the house are steep and slick. After those stairs you have a narrow, very vertical stair case to the the kitchen. Great property otherwise. Owner left a wonderful binder with seriously great information/instructions, we used it several times.

Peaceful

Homey and comfortable. The deck was awesome and my pup loved it as much as we did. Outdoor chairs and bbq were very nice! Views are awesome and house had everything we needed. Bring some cooking oil. There were a few spices that came in handy though. The fridge had an ice maker which was a plus! Beds were comfortable and couches also. AC didn’t seem to work but it was cool enough with the ceiling fan on and windows open. Would stay again!

Tahquitz Lodge Stay Springbreak 2025

This property is legit. If you wanting to be off the grid and enjoy hiking trails this is your want to go stay. Our family had a blast during our stay. It’s so close to the trail and nature and away from the city. On a positive note, I highly recommend this property if you really want to get away from your busy life and just chill…The big windows, grills provided, big fridge with ice maker, Spiral staircase, close to Humberpark trailhead, easy to find address, info binder, the big book shelves, WiFi and the Around the house patio are great big plus!!!! Some minor issues material condition wise and some amenities like: missing turning handles for the blinds on the master bedroom, loose step in the middle of the spiral steps, loose bed frame on the master bedroom makes constant noise with slightest move so annoying, trash can inside the house has no lid, no exhaust fan when cooking making the whole place smells, no TV in any of the bedroom, not comfortable with the bath tub shower only in the master bedroom specially with disabilities, no rice cooker, and some of the mini lights along the steps outside are out.

Wanted to love it

The cabin was great, and my party was excited to stay there. On my way up the mountain I got a call that one refrigerator was not working but the downstairs one was functional. We got there, stored all of our food in the downstairs fridge, only to find out next day that it was also not working. All of our meat for our bbq had gone bad. We called the maintenance line multiple times, left a message, emailed the host, and got no response until check out time. We had to go into town and buy coolers and ice to keep our food that hadn’t gone bad yet cold. It was a disaster and damper on our weekend.

Cozy and Cute, but Several Issues…

Overall: Cute small cabin near Humber Park. Pros: Old cabin charm… Cons: Unresponsive host. No instructions on checking in or out. Issues getting keys from lock box, as no directions on how lock boxes work. Given no cell service and no response from host as to my message, I had to drive back into town to get cell service to be able to watch a video to figure out how to get the keys out. At departure, no instructions on what to do with soiled linens, dishes, trash etc., so we just did the best we could. While this bills itself as dog friendly, our dog couldn’t navigate the very small circular stairway with log steps, but that might not be a problem for others. Dishwasher is broken. Fireplace is not for guest use. Couches are very worn. There were ants in the kitchen.

A great getaway for Fourth of July!

This house was a great place to relax with friends for a holiday weekend. My dog is very reactive to fireworks, and this area is super calm and quiet. The spiral stairs up to the main level can be a bit of a challenge for some canine companions, but if they’re small it’s easy to carry them up. Overall it was a beautiful place to stay and we would return!
