Quiet and peaceful
We have stayed at this property 2x now. Enjoyed it so much the first time we returned! it is a studio type setting, which we like! Great internet and Samsung Smart TV with all the streaming apps. Excellent air/heat unit, as well as a humidifer and purifier. Very sunny and light, comfy queen bed and nice patio for morning coffee with cushioned chairs. 5 minute drive to town and all the restaurants and could actually walk to a couple of you really like to walk! :) If you are a hiker, you are very close to one of the major trailheads. The property is totally fenced and a very large yard with a lot of natural areas. Highly recommend this property for a couple or a couple with a dog!

Little Slice of Peace in the Country
We really appreciated the quietude and privacy of this property. The owners left no stones unturned with the comforting items you'll need for your cozy stay. They even stocked coffee! Great restaurants and a market in town. It's a very healthy walk into town and back (10,500 steps to be exact), but a short drive. Plenty of hiking trails nearby. Wondering about experiencing it when it's snowing. (You'd need proper road tires.) Everyone in town was friendly and we were pleased to meet Barb and Jeff, the owners. Idlyllwild is lovelly and we hope to come back!

Very Relaxing
We live in the desert and we were looking for a place to stay to get out of the heat for a few days! What a find we found in the Little Cabin. It was so perfect for the two of us. The cabin is very clean and well kept, had everything you would ever need. We loved sitting out on the patio for breakfast & lunch and just totally relaxing, and enjoying the surroundings. Our hostess & host, Barb & Jeff could not have been more helpful with any of our questions. We hope to return for another visit sometime soon. Kathy & Fletcher Kolb

The little cozy Cabin on the Mountain
The little cabin is great for a getaway. I just used it for myself to look around the town for a little while, then go back and relax for the rest of the day. If/when I can walk better I would love to go back and go hiking on the trails that are close by.

Perfect little cabin
This cabin is easy to find and comfortable. The host was easy communicate with. It was the perfect size for my husband and I, a good value. We especially liked the huge fenced lot that gave our dog plenty of space to explore while we sat on the nice front patio.

Great little gem in the woods. So quiet with lots of windows that brings the outside in! Perfect for 2 adults! And our pups loved roaming the large forested property! Everything you need including great streaming channels and full kitchen. Very close to town (1.5 miles) and restaurants, as well as hiking. Highly recommend this little cabin.

Quiet, lovely place
The little cabin’s location was quiet and peaceful. Our dogs enjoyed exploring every inch of the property and loved seeing the deer that wandered through. The cabin was small and charming. The bed was warm and comfortable, but a pull-out or regular sized sofa would have been a nice addition. The kitchen was well appointed and the 1/2 pint microwave very cute and efficient.

Great Property
The cabin is charming, and it had everything we needed! Barb was a wonderful communicator and host! The large, fenced property with natural forest was very peaceful. We were lucky to have about four inches of fresh snow and our dog had a great time running around the property and catching snow balls.

Perfect little cottage, just what we needed, serene and beautiful. Cottage had everything we needed, very cozy, didn't venture out much, just enjoyed watching the snow melting off the trees, relaxing and take in the wonderful scenery, plenty of snow to play in. Owners were so very nice, great communication and accommodating. Planning to return in the spring. Highly recommend

Snowy Mountain Anniversary Retreat
The little cozy cabin on the mountain was the best time that my wife and I have had in a long time while visiting Idyllwild, CA. We have visited Idyllwild almost every year on our anniversary. This year was our 45th and the little cozy cabin on the mountain made it very special for us. Jeff and Barb are the most wonderful folks. They communicated with us a couple of days before the trip about check in and property details during our stay. They gave us all the information we would need in order to have a wonderful stay in the little cabin. As had happened many times before this trip, it snowed on the mountain. Didn't stop us from going, and Jeff & Barb stayed in touch with us to make sure we arrived safely and make sure we had everything we needed. They provided us with helpful tips to keep the cabin warm during our stay with the 20-degree weather and the 1 foot or more of snow that had fallen and was still falling during our stay. Our stay at the little cozy cabin on the mountain will be a time my wife and I will remember forever. The cabin was very clean, organized, and supplied with Kitchen appliances, utensils, and bath & bedding we would need during our stay. All we needed to provide was the food and drinks. Jeff & Barb thought of and provided everything else you would need. We will definitely plan to stay in the little cozy cabin on the mountain for our next, 46th, anniversary.

Incredible!
There is a problem that you should be aware of if you choose to stay at the The Little Cabin! After you stay here, you will wonder what all those other hosts out there in rental land are doing! Jeff and Barb should be running a course on not only how to appoint a rental property, but also how to be a great host! It's obvious that a lot of thought and consideration went into making the Little Cabin so cozy and comfortable, absolutely everything you need. Peaceful and private!

Cute cabin and town
The property is adorable, and our for babies thoroughly enjoyed it! The cabin was stocked with all the amenities we could have needed, including a bbq and dog bed! Only giving 4 stars because my partner and I are used to our king size avocado mattress, so the bed was just a tiny bit small and uncomfortable for us, but overall enjoyed our time and would be back 👌
