About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

In the beautiful Fern Valley area of Idyllwild, the home is bright, sunny and open, and the perfect mountain getaway for a group of friends, one or two couples, or a couple with children.

Built in 2002, the home has all the modern conveniences (forced air heating, air conditioning, gas fireplace, microwave, dishwasher, electric stove and oven) and every comfort you'd want in that getaway weekend. Everything is on the first floor (there is a loft above the kitchen but nothing is up there) and the two bedrooms have queen beds and their own bathrooms with showers. There is a washer/dryer as well. The bedrooms and living room are carpeted for cozy warmth, and the kitchen, bathtooms, dining area and hallways are tiled. The huge deck has a table and chairs and is the perfect place to sit out and watch the wildlife and incredible sunsets.

The road to the home as well as the driveway are wide and well-maintained. It's only 1.4 miles to the center of town, and even less to many beautiful hiking trails, from easy to moderate to strenuous levels of difficulty. We even discovered the home is about 75 yards from the popular and easy Ernie Maxwell Trail, which also runs to and from Humber Park.

When we come up to Idyllwild we find our weekends last very long as time does seem to go slower when we're relaxing and simply enjoying the beauty of the area.

Check-in time is 4:00 p.m. and check-out time is 11:00 a.m. For earlier or later times please ask me and we try to accommodate but it depends on the previous and next guests and the housekeeping schedule. For groups with more than four adults (ages 10 and over) a charge of $30 per night per extra guest will be charged (maximum five guests). Quiet hours are 10:00 p.m.to 7:00 a.m. We asks that if you have more than two bags of trash you make a trip to the dump: Idyllwild Transfer Center at 28100 Saunders Meadow Rd., Idyllwild. Posted hours are M-Th: 7:30-5:30, F: 7:30-4:30, closed Saturday, Sunday and holidays (but we always find them open on Sundays, so go figure).

Fantastic!!

Wow! We were so impressed with this property and the location. We are frequent visitors to Idyllwild, but this was our first time staying in the Fern Valley area. Both the home and the surrounding area were so beautiful that we couldn't leave -- luckily the property was available so we extended our stay, and can't wait to return! The home is spotless, and so well equipped! We felt right at home immediately! And communication with the host was stellar! The home is perfect for a couple or a family of 4 or 5. Two very comfortable bedrooms, each with a bathroom, and a large "great room", encompassing the kitchen, dining area and living area. The outdoor wrap around deck was where we spent so much of our time! The beauty and solitude of the surroundings was exactly what we needed to kick off the holiday season! We have already recommended this property to friends. Try it -- you will not be disappointed!

Hideaway in Idyllwild

Four of us stayed at the Fern Valley cabin. The facilities were immaculate and well maintained. The squirrels, chipmunks and jays were entertaining on the deck. It was so quiet and peaceful, we quickly decompressed from our daily routine. Love this place!

Among the Pines

The property is wonderful. High on the mountain above Idyllwild. Perfect for two couples. Well stocked with everything you need. Plenty of games and DVD's if you want to stay in. Close to great hiking trails. The town is close as well and has plenty of restaurants and shops. We had a small issue and the property owner was easy to get ahold of and extremely helpful. We highly recommend this property.

Rejuvenating

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Staying among the trees with the sounds of so many birds gave all of us a sense of peace that is hard to come by. The cabin itself fit into the outdoors so perfectly. Everything you need was there. Our host, Suzanne, was readily available. I hope to return often.

Perfect Idyllwild cottage

We had an incredible stay at this VRBO home. The house was immaculately clean and stocked with everything we could possibly need, from kitchen essentials to extra linens. The attention to detail really made us feel at home. The location is absolutely stunning—nestled in a beautiful area that provided breathtaking views and a peaceful environment. It was the perfect place to relax and unwind. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and scenic getaway!

Wonderful getaway cabin/house in the mountains

We loved our stay at Fern Valley, which felt like living in a luxury tree house. The house is surrounded by mature oak trees, which provide beauty and shade on the spacious deck outside, where you can watch sunsets. The house is immaculately maintained, is beautiful inside and out, the bathrooms and kitchen are well supplied with necessities, and the beds are very comfortable. A huge plus is that pets are welcome. The host is friendly and quick to respond to queries. I couldn't dream up a better place to stay in Idyllwild.

Sublime experience

We came to Idyllwild to hike. The house was roomy and open, and very private, the beds comfortable, & all the amenities as advertised. After a hard day of hiking, & in the morning for the 1st cup of the day, the deck, surrounded by trees, was a beautiful space to kick back. Highly Recommended.

Beautiful Home

If you are looking for a beautiful home to rent in Idyllwild, this is the one. The kitchen is well stocked with pretty much all the pots and pans, dishes, silverware, etc that you will need. The living room and bedrooms are clean, tidy, and comfortably furnished. The two bathrooms had plenty of clean towels and hot water. We spent almost three whole days just sitting on the deck feeding the birds, squirrels, and chipmunks. With the home being located at almost the top of the valley, it was exceeding quiet. If we are able, we will certainly be back again. Thank you Suzanne for hosting us.

Comfortable house in a quiet neighborhood, bonus - easy trail access

I spent a wonderful long weekend in this Fern Valley house. The neighborhood is very quiet, I enjoyed listening to bird songs, the house is all surrounded by beautiful trees. The house itself is very clean and comfortable. A great living room for relaxing and reading. A full kitchen for making your own meals if you feel like it. Bedrooms and bathrooms are very nicely decorated and very comfortable. Squirrels and a big blue Steller’s jay come to the deck if you leave some treats out. And of course the extra bonus was the easy access to Ernie Maxwell trail - walking distance, right around the corner, so you can get on that trail and walk right to the Devil’s Slide trailhead and gets and extra nice hike without any driving. If you are trying to decide which VRBO property to book in Idyllwild - this one is amazing!!!

Great Home, Location and Communication with Owner

My family loved this home with all the necessities to make our stay enjoyable and comfortable. It was spacious, homey and we loved the wrap-around balcony. We did encounter an unexpected snow event, that created challenges getting up/down the hill after hours of heavy snowfall. Suzanne was incredible a helpful, along with her local network who was able to provide snow shoveling and an escort in his 4X4 vehicle which allowed us to reconnect with our car left down the hill, unable to make it back up due to all that snow. We recommend this home, but if here in a major winter event I would recommend having snow tires or a 4X4 vehicle. Our car had neither. We do plan to stay again in the summer where the chance of is snow less possible! My thanks to Suzanne & Hector for the excellent communication and assistance.

Property is located in beautiful secluded woodsy area. Soon after arrival, we had a light snow which was perfect. The home was clean and well-designed with good amenities. My only complaint, and this perhaps would not be a negative to some people, is that the only cable news channel available is FOX NEWS, the Trump lie-machine!.
