Unbelievable experience!!!

We can’t express how much we enjoyed our stay at Boulder Creek! We had our annualMarch Madness getaway and it exceeded our expectations. The beautiful cabin was so comfortable and cozy. The wildlife of birds, chipmunks, and squirrels that entertained us was heartwarming. The swing and deck provided perfect places to relax! It also felt very private. A very special place. We will definitely be back!

Oh so cute and Comfortable.

Perfect in every way for 2 couples. Larry is the best host as well. Lots of wildlife right outside the window. One of my favorites was watching the hummingbird coming to the hummingbird feeder right outside the window as I sat on the living room couch. We will be back for sure!

Wonderful

Exactly what I was hoping for, and even better in several ways. House is welcoming, spacious for our family of 4, and cozy. Quiet at the end of a cul de sac backing the forest. Terrace is very pleasant with plenty of birds, squirrels and chipmunks visiting. Owner is very responsive. An adventure pass is provided (required to park at trailheads). All appliances work well, there are plenty of pots, pans and utensils for cooking, as well as coffee and filters. We loved the fireplace (high quality firewood is provided), reclining armchairs, heated blankets, board games, and all the nice touches around the house. That was our first time in Idyllwild and we'd probably try to rent the same place if we return!

Relaxing forest getaway

Cozy, clean, and well equipped cabin; close to town but feels tucked away. Beautiful deck and garden swing where we spotted birds, squirrels & deer. The host could not have been nicer, and even helped advise & locate local vehicle assistance when our car battery died unexpectedly.

Mountain get away

This was our first time to Idlewild. We came up from Orange County and were pleasantly surprised with the cute mountain town Of Idyllwild. the Boulder Creek cottage is so storybook like. It is quaint & cozy. It was everything that I had hoped for. We spent the weekend hiking, playing cards by the fire & completing a puzzle. it’s a wonderful place to stay

Woodsy & Tidy

Very nice, clean indoor and outdoor spaces. Updated kitchen and bathrooms. We arrived on a cool evening and it took us a bit to warm up with the wall heaters, but soon had the cabin cozy. Had a fun family get together on the large deck.

Relaxing mountain getaway

We found everything we needed for our 3-night stay in this cozy cottage. The large deck was perfect for relaxing and reading in the sun or shade, constantly serenaded by busy squirrels and birds foraging nearby. It's only a short drive to downtown Idyllwild, where we found a nice restaurant for breakfast (The Red Kettle).

This is our second time staying here and it was just as good as we remembered. It’s close to town but very quiet and peaceful. We loved watching all the birds on the deck and sitting on the swing over looking the trees in the back. Larry is a great host!

Perfect wedding anniversary vacation spot

We loved the cabin and Idyllwild! It was our first trip to the area and we picked it to celebrate our 15th wedding anniversary. The cabin was very clean and comfortable, and quickly felt like home. We enjoyed exploring the area around the cabin. The views from the neighborhood were simply amazing. Our host was communicative and made sure we settled in alright, but was never intrusive. We definitely hope to return.

Why they chose this property

Our cottage is located up against the national forest and offers a secluded and quiet retreat for our guests. Being the last property on the street just adds to the mountain ambiance and privacy. It is not uncommon to see deer on our property.

What makes this property unique

Boulder Creek Cottage is a quiet, clean, cozy, secluded retreat situated up against the San Bernardino National Forrest. This is a perfect getaway for a few days to allow one to breath in the mountain air, enjoy the wildlife, hiking, rock climbing, biking, horseback riding, antiquing, shopping, or to just rest, renew, restore and reconnect.
