This listing is for both cabins on the property. Here is the listing if you would like to book the large cabin only: https://www.vrbo.com/3532032 We never book out the property to separate parties, so if you book the large cabin only, you will have access to only the large cabin but the small cabin will not be. rented out separately. Our cozy property has been recently remodeled and consists of two 1930's cabins. It is the perfect place for a small group to escape to the mountains while being close to the "action" in the town of Idyllwild.

The smaller cabin has one bedroom, living room area, dining area, full bathroom with bathtub/shower combo and full kitchen. Our bedrooms & bathrooms have smaller footprints as the cabin was built in 1931 and everything was smaller back then, however they are cozy and we think you will find that they are fully equipped with everything you should need for your stay. In our main cabin, we have window/wall air conditioning units in both bedrooms and central heat throughout the cabin. Right now, there is only A/C in the bedrooms.

The camping themed play area has a small tent, toy bins, faux lit campfire area with log shaped cushions, and a starry night sky projector with bluetooth speaker. \*\*Please note that the upstairs has lower than normal ceilings. It's definitely meant for kids, as a lot of adults will not be able to stand up straight while walking up there. The smaller cabin's living area consists of a small dining area, and small sectional couch that can be pulled up to make either a larger lounging area a small futon style bed. If you would like to use this as a bed, please be aware that it is rather hard, so it it may not be the most comfortable sleeping situation and probably best suited for kids.

We have a deck with dining area, propane grill, and Adirondack chairs off of our kitchen. There are also rocking chairs on our front deck and cornhole equipment available. Our backyard area is wooded and fairly large, although it is slightly sloped and un-landscaped. We have garden gnomes hidden around and it's a great place to setup scavenger hunts.
