Across numerous reviews, guests describe Best in town location•private•pro clean•dogs ok•kids play space•fire pit•loved! as a relaxing, well-equipped retreat with a tucked-away feel, cozy interiors, and thoughtful touches that make family stays easy.
Many highlight the quiet, central location near restaurants and shops. Hosts earn praise for clear, quick communication, and families value the playful loft and a well-stocked kitchen. Outdoor additions such as a fire pit, gardens, and a seasonal creek are frequently enjoyed, though one guest reported a check-in date issue and another noted smaller or creaky beds. Expect a convenient, comfortable, family- and pet-friendly stay.

We had a wonderful weekend on Cedar Street. The home was so warm and cozy! We appreciated the artistically placed touches throughout the home. The living room was much bigger than it appeared in the photos. We had lots of family time playing games around the beautiful fireplace. We appreciates being able to walk to restaurants, shops and grocery stores from the home. We were unable to enjoy the outside due to the rain. We will be back again to spend some time in the awesome backyard. Melissa was very responsive and helpful. Her kindness regarding our dog’s stay was valued by all of us!

We love Idyllwild and decided to do a long weekend with another family. The 8 of us included adults, teens, and tweens. There was enough space for us to sleep, relax and play board games, and enjoy cooking meals. The bonus was how close it was to everything. We never used our car unless it was to leave town to find snow. The property is super clean and had everything we needed. We also loved the super cute outside with a porch to sit with everyone and even a bridge over a little creek for the kids to walk and explore. We'll definitely be back!

All went well on our stay. Property is in great location, close to town and hiking trails(drivable). Home is older, feels rustic but everything worked. We used the wood burning fireplace every day and it was a godsend on the cool nights and mornings! Great communication with host Melissa, very quick with any inquiries.

Would come back to this property over and over! Location is perfect with a short walk to get into town for restaurants, shops and small town feel. The hosts were so communicative in every way.... we travel with 2 Golden Retrievers and they made their stay so comfortable as well! Large yard to play in and welcoming treats, dog bowls, paw wipes too! Kitchen is very well stocked with just about everything you could use or want! Can't say enough about this perfect place to stay!!!

We LOVED our little family getaway! Cabin is just as described, the small creek was running, saw huge squirrels and bluejays in the yard! Here during some rain so our planned hike had to be cancelled but walked the town and neighborhood instead which worked out great! Came across a nice big running creek with the dogs! And we woke up to some snow on the ground in the mornings that was absolutely beautiful! Wish we stayed a little longer!

Loved everything about this spot. Easy walking access to everything downtown, and the surrounding gardens make you feel like you’re farther away from it all. The fresh apples off the tree and the lava room are a nice bonus.

This property is wonderful! I’ve been going to Idyllwild for years and have stayed many places. The location of this home is perfect and the grounds are interesting and fun!! Three bridges over a seasonal creek. The beds were comfortable and bathrooms were nice. The couches and fireplace combo were perfect for us. Being about to bring the dogs was convenient and the house was very clean and didn’t smell like any pets or anything. We lived it all!! The kids especially loved the lava lounge and extra games.

We wanted to escape the loud kabooms from 4th of July and we achieved that immensely. This home feels like a home; comfy and spacious. Great outdoor patio and property. So much life growing and chirping in the trees! Loved it. It’s about one large lot/church with parking lot away from the main road and town. So close to restaurants and shops! Perfect location. We fished at Lake Hemet (20-ish minutes away) and also fished at Lake Fulmor located pass Pine Cove. So close to both. The market in town has about everything you need and this home supplies tons of kitchen thingamabobs and doohickies to help with your cooking A-game!! Overall, I would choose this spot in a heartbeat and I’ve already recommended this house to my work bestie and her teen family. BTW: my 11 year old LOVED the LaVa LoUnGe (lava lounge). Such a cool space. Thank you for hosting us in your beautiful yellow home.

We are repeat guests, and just love the well appointed cabin, peppery and the proximity to town! We got lucky enough to experience a few inches of snow to the delight of my kiddo. A warm fireplace, plenty of exploring to do, and a quick walk to the shops made for a relaxing few days and family memories. The cabin is spotless, we love the layout and lots of thoughtful extras! Thank you for another phenomenal stay. We can’t wait to visit again!

Perfect location - in town, but off the path, so quiet and woodsy but walkable to everything. The cleanest cabin I have ever stayed in, it was immaculate. Everything is labeled and all questions answered by binder and signs in the cabin. Very comfortable and inviting space. Dog and family friendly.

The Cedar Street house is great... perfect location, walkable to everything, beautiful surrounds and views and even with the very close proximity to the village feels tucked away in its own little pocket of forest. The house was immaculate and very well appointed with supplies for our family of five and furball companion. Would definitely stay again.

My husband and I took our daughter, her boyfriend and our dogs for a chill mountain weekend. This little spot was perfect! Beautiful property, really well kept house. It was so clean and comfortable, every bit of info was very clear and the one little hiccup there was (no hot water, pilot light was out on the hot water heater) was addressed really really quickly. The dogs were happy, tons of sniffies in the goat and lovely yard, all the beds were comfortable, tons of kitchen equipment and extra linens and just…anything you would need! Location is perfect to walk to coffee, donuts, drinks, dinner. It honestly was an ideal weekend, thanks in large part to this great rental. Would 100% recommend to a friend and would stay here again if back in the area.

Cheerful, clean welcoming place on quiet street about 1 minute walk to town (visit the ice cream shop!) 3 minute walk to our writers retreat lodge. So convenient for us! Managers were friendly, easy to get hold of, quickly responded to questions. Layout is private master bedroom with bathroom, two bedrooms on other side of LR with shared bathroom. Kitchen nicely stocked, not just with all the cookware, cutlery, mugs, gadgets etc etc. you’d need, but also with nice array of basic spices, and life-saving …. coffee. Bathroom towels are of a high standard and bedding wonderfully comfortable. Cons: Lots of windows but dim at night, common to the area (efficiency bulbs). Bring your own shampoo. Bottom line: I’ve stayed in other places in the area and would definitely come back to this one. :-)

Best location. Nice home. Cool backyard. Kitchen well stocked. I wish the beds were bigger... if you are used to your space in bed, the house won't sleep more than 3-5 people. Beds were noisy, beddings were nice and comfy with lots of pillows. Overall, we loved it there and will be back.

We had a fantastic stay at the Cedar Street Retreat. The house is perfectly located right off of the main road in the center of town, but being toward the end of a quiet side street made it feel quiet and removed. The house itself is comfortably furnished and beautifully decorated. We loved it! Our visit was right in time for a little winter storm, and the house was the perfect place to hunker down and avoid the rain. There were plenty of board games and books, and of course the lava lounge, which our kids loved! We were also so glad to have the large yard to enjoy when we got a bit of snow. When the weather cleared up for a while, we were able to walk anywhere we needed in town, which was perfect for us. We truly enjoyed our stay and hope to book again in the future!

The living room was much bigger than it appeared in the photos. We had lots of family time playing games around the beautiful fireplace. We appreciates being able to walk to restaurants, shops and grocery stores from the home. We were unable to enjoy the outside due to the rain. We will be back again to spend some time in the awesome backyard. Melissa was very responsive and helpful. Her kindness regarding our dog’s stay was valued by all of us!

My husband and I took our daughter, her boyfriend and our dogs for a chill mountain weekend. This little spot was perfect! Beautiful property, really well kept house. It was so clean and comfortable, every bit of info was very clear and the one little hiccup there was (no hot water, pilot light was out on the hot water heater) was addressed really really quickly. The dogs were happy, tons of sniffies in the goat and lovely yard, all the beds were comfortable, tons of kitchen equipment and extra linens and just…anything you would need! Location is perfect to walk to coffee, donuts, drinks, dinner. It honestly was an ideal weekend, thanks in large part to this great rental. Would 100% recommend to a friend and would stay here again if back in the area.

All went well on our stay. Property is in great location, close to town and hiking trails(drivable). Home is older, feels rustic but everything worked. We used the wood burning fireplace every day and it was a godsend on the cool nights and mornings! Great communication with host Melissa, very quick with any inquiries.

Would come back to this property over and over! Location is perfect with a short walk to get into town for restaurants, shops and small town feel. The hosts were so communicative in every way.... we travel with 2 Golden Retrievers and they made their stay so comfortable as well! Large yard to play in and welcoming treats, dog bowls, paw wipes too! Kitchen is very well stocked with just about everything you could use or want! Can't say enough about this perfect place to stay!!!

Cheerful, clean welcoming place on quiet street about 1 minute walk to town (visit the ice cream shop!) 3 minute walk to our writers retreat lodge. So convenient for us! Managers were friendly, easy to get hold of, quickly responded to questions. Layout is private master bedroom with bathroom, two bedrooms on other side of LR with shared bathroom. Kitchen nicely stocked, not just with all the cookware, cutlery, mugs, gadgets etc etc. you’d need, but also with nice array of basic spices, and life-saving …. coffee. Bathroom towels are of a high standard and bedding wonderfully comfortable. Cons: Lots of windows but dim at night, common to the area (efficiency bulbs). Bring your own shampoo. Bottom line: I’ve stayed in other places in the area and would definitely come back to this one. :-)

The house was lovely with great access to the town and restaurants. The owners were quick to respond to any questions we had and provided a great experience. The house has something for everyone, especially a fun hideaway loft for the kids.

A charming house with all the amenities which made our family's stay fun and comfortable. The lava room was our grandsons' favorite. The location was within walking distance to the village.

We had a great 10 days. Most of the time it was just my wife and I but our daughter and husband joined us for a couple of days. We loved the property with plenty of squirrels, jays and chipmunks. The description is spot-on and everything was as expected. Location is ideal for access to the town and restaurants. Kitchen was well-stocked if one wanted to eat in. We look forward to our next visit!

Perfect location - in town, but off the path, so quiet and woodsy but walkable to everything. The cleanest cabin I have ever stayed in, it was immaculate. Everything is labeled and all questions answered by binder and signs in the cabin. Very comfortable and inviting space. Dog and family friendly.

This property is wonderful! I’ve been going to Idyllwild for years and have stayed many places. The location of this home is perfect and the grounds are interesting and fun!! Three bridges over a seasonal creek. The beds were comfortable and bathrooms were nice. The couches and fireplace combo were perfect for us. Being about to bring the dogs was convenient and the house was very clean and didn’t smell like any pets or anything. We lived it all!! The kids especially loved the lava lounge and extra games.

We had a fantastic stay at the Cedar Street Retreat. The house is perfectly located right off of the main road in the center of town, but being toward the end of a quiet side street made it feel quiet and removed. The house itself is comfortably furnished and beautifully decorated. We loved it! Our visit was right in time for a little winter storm, and the house was the perfect place to hunker down and avoid the rain. There were plenty of board games and books, and of course the lava lounge, which our kids loved! We were also so glad to have the large yard to enjoy when we got a bit of snow. When the weather cleared up for a while, we were able to walk anywhere we needed in town, which was perfect for us. We truly enjoyed our stay and hope to book again in the future!
