About this property

Secluded 1 acre Mountain Home - Hot Tub, 3 Decks & Direct National Forest Access

Spend your next getaway in this rare rustic modern mountain house nestled on 1 acre in the hills of Idyllwild. The Hideaway features high vaulted ceilings, is secluded yet close to town and connects directly to the National Forest. Walk out our front gate and find the May Valley Trail not too far away. After a hike, enjoy soaking in the 6 person hot tub or catch an incredible sunset cozying up to our fire pit on our new 40 foot back deck. Listen to the birds chirping, the wind rustling through the trees and.... the silence.This is the perfect hidden spot to relax, recharge and restore.

4X4 OR CHAINS MAY BE REQUIRED DURING WINTER SEASON IN IDYLLWILD! (Message us for more info)

At The Hideaway you will experience 2 floors with 4 unique bedrooms, 3 decks, a front patio and 1 acre of land for everyone to hang out, play or relax. While a couple neighboring homes exist and you may catch a glimpse of the occasional neighbor from the back deck, our unique orientation is private, allowing you to unwind practically undisturbed. The perfect escape for those seeking peaceful retreats.

It is a must to enjoy the 6 person hot tub with privacy wall on the front deck or walk out on the westward facing 40 foot deck and catch a beautiful Idyllwild sunset while sitting in front of the fire pit. Nothing like waking up to enjoy the primary bedroom patio with your coffee and mountain views. Also an amazing spot for sunsets and wine.

**The Hideaway has a rustic vibe and some of the natural wear and tear adds to it's charm. Being in the mountains, you may encounter occasional dust and leaves on patios/decks due to the windy conditions. While we do our best to keep everything tidy, perfection isn't always possible. If you notice any cleanliness issues, safety concerns, or amenities not working as expected, please don't hesitate to reach out to us! This is one of things we take a lot of pride in and our dedicated team will promptly address any issues to ensure you have a delightful stay.

*Recently added Blazing Fast Fiber internet with speeds up to 500 mbps!

Head into the large open kitchen, equipped with stainless steel appliances where you’ll have everything you need to prepare delicious meals for you and your guests. Enjoy your delicious meal at our big live wood dining table with rustic french doors on either side of you bringing in plenty of day light. After your meal, walk through one set of french doors and go enjoy the hot tub or walk out of the other french doors and enjoy the fresh mountain air, outdoor couches, hammock and propane fire on the back deck.

Walk up stairs and you will find 2 uniquely designed bedrooms. The first is the Primary bedroom, The Pendleton room. This room boasts high wood ceilings, wood accents, a huge window with custom wood cover, lots of natural sunlight, it's own bathroom and access to it's own private deck via the rustic french doors with comfy outdoor L couch and chair. Also upstairs is the 2nd bedroom, The Blue room, which possesses a really unique and fun design with angled walls and windows. Simple yet cozy with blue accented tongue and groove walls.

While downstairs enjoying our cozy living room, you will walk under the stairs through the hallway to find the 3rd bedroom, The Sage room. It's simple design with wooden accents truly makes this room the coziest of all. Walk back into the hallway and find the 2nd full bathroom is right outside of the door.

Then there is the 4th bedroom, The Cactus room, which is downstairs and is our biggest room. It features its own french doors with access to a small patio with Adirondack chairs to read or enjoy your coffee in the morning. It combos as an office, hang out room, game room and has a futon/sofa bed for extra sleeping arrangements. The 2nd full bathroom is right outside the door here as well.

Vacation and Relaxation

This rental exceeded my expectations. This was our first time visiting Idyllwild and we were amazed at how beautiful it is. The Hideaway was absolutely beautiful and a perfect location to get away from a busy stressful life. The property was secluded enough to disconnect yet close enough to drive into the village and grab a coffee or a bite to eat. Scott and Lucy are amazing hosts. They were easy and quick to communicate with. Check-In instructions were a breeze and simple to follow. The property itself if just as described. Scott and Lucy go above and beyond to welcome guests. They pay attention to small details which I very much appreciated! Thank you Scott and Lucy for allowing us to disconnect from a busy life and slow down to enjoy the beauty of Idyllwild. If anyone is looking to book a getaway where you can relax and enjoy nature, this is the spot. Thank you Scott and Lucy for everything.

Something for everyone

We enjoyed the proximity to the national forest. There was still snow on the ground from a big storm the weekend before we arrived, but once it melted, we went on some beautiful, longer hikes. The accommodations are well appointed, attractive, and very comfortable and cozy. The dogs loved the surrounding area, but it's not fully fenced, so if you have a dog that likes to chase rabbits or deer, better plan on keeping on the leash. There is lots of deck space with beautiful views. The beds were very comfortable... high quality linens, etc. I highly recommend!

Perfect winter holiday getaway!!

Can't say enough good things about the Hideaway! The cabin is situated on the South Western approach to Idyllwild, with stunning views from the deck and more just a short hike up the hill. There was snow and ice the week we were there and the owner was very communicative about the need for caution and chains. When people showed up without them, the neighbors were friendly and helped pack things up the hill to the cabin. Only met great people while there! The cabin itself is large and spacious; 8 people were comfortable and had plenty of privacy. The space is elegantly and modernly appointed and every amenity mentioned on the listing was accessible and easy to use. The hot tub worked perfectly, the heat in the cabin was on point, and it was so beautifully quiet at night. With effortless access to park land, minutes from downtown Idyllwild and friendly hosts, we'll definitely be back to the Hideaway!

Perfect family trip

This house was perfect for our 2 families to meet up during the holidays. Plenty of room, comfortable beds, and a great property for the kids to run around. We didn’t even have to drive for hiking. Scott is an amazing host, he was very responsive to any questions we had. Thanks, we’d love to stay here again.

Good location just wished the a/c worked when we were there

One of the hottest days ever up there someone should have checked and cooled the house down before we arrived. Other than that, it was a nice cozy place.

Amazing property and hosts!

Had such a blast staying at this property for the weekend with friends! We really took advantage of all the cabin has to offer using the hot tub and having a little cornhole tournament in the backyard before lighting up the firepit at night. Scott was amazing at making sure we were all taken care of and even let us check in early. We will def be coming back!

Thanksgiving Together

We selected Idyllwild to spend Thanksgiving week because it was between us and our coastal daughters. We are very grateful to have found this home and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was clean, the beds were comfy, the hot tub was terrific, and the kitchen had what we needed for our Thanksgiving feast. We hiked, we walked to town for the tree lighting celebration, we played corn hole and lots of board games, and had a great time! The owners were welcoming and attentive. I would recommend this home to everyone!

Secluded Paradise 90 min from SD. Perfect! Exactly as advertised. Wife and dog had a great time!

This cabin was exactly what my wife and I were looking for. Idyllwild is a special place for both of us. We've been going there for over 25 years. I took her on a 4 day backing trip at laws camp on our first date! Including San Jacinto and taquiz peaks. This place is awesome. Super nice. A new VRBO listing. Lots of new work done on the house. Kitchen, bathrooms, ameneties were all more than we expected. A big upgrade from the typical idyllwild A frame cabin. My wife setup her mobile office in the "den" and I set mine up on the kitchen table. Our 110 pound German shepherd setup his office in front of the fireplace. Hiking is our thing and having the national forest 50 feet from the front door was fantastic. First day was may valley trail for sunset. Rained the second day so we worked all day. Third day we hiked towards taquiz but not all the way. Taquiz peak from the cabin is doable with pre sunrise early start. Jacuzzi was fantastic. We spent a lot of time in that thing. There are other cabins nearby but are hidden well with forest/trees. Not the place to rent for loud groups. The host was super easy to work with. They left us alone, just what we wanted. Thanks for the free post cards and stamps. Sent one to our daughter showing what her parents were up to without her. This place will quickly become a popular VRBO listing!

About the host

Hosted by Scott Netzel

Host profile image
Hi! My name is Scott. My wife Lucy and I are from the east coast but landed in Los Angeles 15 years ago. We love the ocean but wanted a getaway in the mountains. We were fortunate enough to find a gem of a house set on 1 acre of land so we could enjoy the outdoors and relaxing and star gazing. We are so excited to share that with others who share the same love of the outdoors as well.

Why they chose this property

Set on 1 acre up in the mountains, we get the amazing crisp air, beautiful views and most of all, seclusion. We are set away from any major road or highway. Just listen to the birds chirp while sipping on your coffee or enjoy a drink in the hot tub while stargazing.

What makes this property unique

1 acre.
3 decks and a patio.
Very secluded.
Walk out of the front gate and you are in the San Bernardino National Forest.
