Property details

Time will slow down when you escape to this 1940s cabin tucked among towering pines in the heart of Idyllwild — a true retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Original knotty pine walls and ceilings wrap the cabin in warmth, while a stunning river rock wood-burning fireplace anchors cozy evenings with loved ones. Step outside onto the wraparound redwood deck — reachable from both the living area and a back door off the kitchen — and soak in serene mountain views over morning coffee or under a blanket of stars. This home does not include a television, offering a welcome invitation to disconnect and simply be present. Upstairs, the lofted second floor holds two rustic log-frame beds in a truly one-of-a-kind sleeping arrangement, accommodating up to four guests via a set of steep, narrow stairs. This cabin is perfect for couples seeking a romantic getaway, groups of adults, or families with older children (teens are welcome, though it's not a fit for young kids) — and it doubles as an inspiring retreat for writers and artists chasing their muse in nature. Conveniently set on a half-acre lot, the cabin is just a short, quiet walk from the Mile High Café and the village center, with hiking trails, mountain biking, and wildlife viewing all close by. Guests consistently rave about how peaceful and tucked-away it feels despite being so close to town. The kitchen is fully equipped, the shelves are stocked with books and board games for evenings by the fire, and one well-behaved dog is welcome to come along (up to 60 lbs). ​​​​​​​ Whether you're seeking adventure or a peaceful escape, this historic cabin in Idyllwild is the perfect destination. Book your stay and immerse yourself in the beauty of the mountains.
