Great Cabin!
The Bear's Den was a great little place to stay in Idyllwild. The cabin was clean and very comfortable. The cabin was well heated with three furnaces. It was very close to town and to the hiking trails, and the hot tub was clean and warm. We will definitely stay here again!
Super cute cabin, nice and rustic (and nostalgic!) We enjoyed the hot tub after our adventures in Idyllwild, and the fully stocked kitchen was very appreciated. This is a great place to stay if you want a little place close to shops and trails. We'll definitely be back!

Such a dream!
This space is so cozy and the perfect getaway! Super close to town yet nicely tucked away for a quaint getaway. The space was clean and had helpful instructions around regarding hot tub use, tv, etc!
Upon walking in, this cabin is as cozy as it gets! Wood burning fireplace, beautiful mountain decor, very clean, and has all the necessities for a pleasant stay. I especially enjoyed the complimentary eco friendly toiletries. Super close to town and convenient for dog owners!
This entire rental process was an outstanding experience ! The cabin was immaculate and everything was very nicely set up, heck they even had firewood for us ! I have told all of our friends about your service and highly recommend you for our rental needs !

Cozy but outdated
The beds were very clean and comfortable. A couple of small updates could be made, such as providing cushions for the outdoor chairs, cleaning the outdoor table, providing firewood, and providing coffee. Otherwise it was a great spot and very close to town.
The place overall is as bigger than I had thought, cozy, and in a great location. I did have a few hiccups with the cleanliness and the missing cushions on the outdoor chairs. Thankfully the property management was very good with communication and helped fix the problem. I would definitely recommend to stay at this mountain home!

Idyllwild
A beautiful location, a charming older home, and a lovely deck. Very quiet at night, and great walks in the area. But as per some previous reviews, several things could be addressed. There are no cushions for the iron deck furniture, which make it very uncomfortable out there. In the kitchen, there are only five spoons, no teakettle, and not many cups. But the house was cool, with windows open, and the bedrooms were great.
Beautiful place, lovely accommodation, but lacked communication
The cabin is adorable and the hot tub is hot! Great location and very comfortable.We arrived during a snow storm and asked for an early check in but was told we could not. We asked to please message us when it became Available. We waited out front (lights were on and we could hear music, so figured they were still cleaning) for an hour in the snow. Finally at 4pm we decided to knock. They were not there and the space was ready for us that entire hour of waiting! We really would have appreciated the message, but instead sat and waited in the snow. Other than that, it was a wonderful stay!

House was fine, there are better options
The house was clean, beds were clean, etc. but everything is so so so outdated. Small upgrades are really needed here. If you plan to cook, bring your own seasonings. Bring your own coffee or plan to buy some. Bring your own ice. The hot tub was clean and comfortable, but overall we would not stay here again. The location was close to the square so that was convenient and very close to Inspiration Point where we caught an incredible sunset, but there are better options in Idyllwild.
Overall, we enjoyed our visit. The cabin is rustic and a bit worn but clean and comfortable. Beds were great! A couple of negatives. The weather was perfect for sitting on the rear deck but could not do so as there were no chair cushions. Also, a dinky 30 inch tv in this age when you can buy a 50 inch smart tv for under $300 and a 40 inch for under $200!! Also, some written instructions on accessing the available tv programming would be helpful.

The Shabby Shack
This home is a shabby Shack. We did not stay there. I told the property manager what he needs to know.
This is our second time staying here. I read some comments saying this place is run down. It’s not. It’s just older but if you like the rustic cozy camping feeling then you will love this home. They are also very great about communicating and making sure you are happy. It’s an easy check in and check out process. The hot tub is very clean and warms up nicely. The home is clean and the beds are super comfy. My hubby, my 4 year old and me slept all in one bed and had plenty of room. The blankets are nice and cozy too. The bathroom is kinda cold but there is s heater in the bedroom closet that warms it up to make it nice for taking a shower. They have a Roku tv so you can watch you tube and Netflix’s and things like that. Above all another wonderful stay! Wish we could stay longer! I love this home!
