Winter Wedding Reception

This cabin is perfect for an intimate wedding. It boasts a beautiful, circular driveway that feels luxurious and expensive while not overwhelming the natural beauty of the pines. The drive encloses a perfect small ceremony site, depending on your crowd’s size, and a massive yard for your reception—large enough to fit a 20x40 foot canopy if you, like us, chose to experience the winter snow in Idyllwild. There are two cabins on-site—first, a huge house, which comfortably sleeps your groomsmen and bridesmaids, in addition to having a spacious, beautifully detailed interior. The kitchen was modern, robust, and easily accessible for preparations. There are several other rooms available as well for sharing experiences, but the highlight by far is the great room, which sports an elegance in its layout that matches the grandness of the piano you’ll find there. The huge windows overlook green trees that made a perfect backdrop for our photobooth. The second cabin is a bridal suite, complete with everything a couple will need to escape the business of the day to spend time together.All of this barely scratches the surface of this cabin in Idyllwild. David is a fantastic host, both accommodating and communicative, who genuinely wants your to appreciate your experience there. He is direct in the best kind of way, and defines the reasonable expectations for his property clearly. He is kind and responsive (and exceptionally priced!) I cannot recommend this 10/10 property more.

Snowflakes Falling

We arrived in Idyllwild with snowflakes falling all around us. it was very cold, the roads were barely passable. we found the house, and sliding and slipping, made our way inside. Wow, were we in for a surprise. Everything had been set up perfectly. The house was already warm and cozy. Everything was available and working properly. The house was comfortable with so many interesting features. The music room was a delight and the pool table got a lot of use. The heavy snowfall was a challenge, but so very beautiful. We will certainly be back to this property.

Really great home & host!!

David is truly a wonderful host. This was our second year in a row at David’s place. The home is large and gave my family plenty of room to spread out. It’s a comfortable 20 minute walk to town. I highly recommend this place!

Repeat Guests

We have been yearly visitors here since 2019 and wouldn't consider staying anywhere else in Idyllwild.This home is spacious yet so cozy and the ample parking is a huge bonus. The beautifully remodeled kitchen includes a double oven and is well-equipped, everything you could possibly need, including a coffee nook. Lots of outdoor seating on the large deck and the property is surrounded by beautiful towering pines. An easy and short walk to town. Host David is communicative and thoughtful; the home is always heated when we arrive in the cooler months and it's so welcoming. The whole family looks forward to many future visits!

This is our third year celebrating here and it’s perfect for us! Large dining table for Christmas dinner, big kitchen, cozy living room for lounging and visiting, pool table for the adult kids, and walking distance to town. The host is awesome and attentive. Looking forward to ANOTHER year when we celebrate Christmas 2025 together:)

Home Away From Home

A favorite family tradition-the weekend before Thanksgiving at this beautiful spacious and cozy home in the mountains of Idyllwild. Towering trees and a circular driveway with ample parking for all of our cars. Family favorites include a roaring fire in the music room with a beautiful piano and gorgeous floor to ceiling windows and spending time on the large deck with the twinkling lights. A well thought out kitchen, with every possible convenience at hand. Recent kitchen and bathroom remodels are stunning! Short easy walk to town. Charming guest house on property is available to rent as well, perfect for us as our group has grown. Host is very welcoming and easy to reach. Hands down best rental property and consistently excellent experience, always spotlessly clean! Very special place...

Ideal wedding venue in Idyllwild

We used the property to have our wedding. The property is tucked back off the street and under a canopy of beautiful trees. With plenty of open space, the property is an ideal destination for a small (50ish) wedding venue. The house is filled with antiques and is a throw back to a simpler era. As soon as we got there the family seemed to be less interested in their phones and more interested in family time. Kids played at the pool table and looked through the record collection. The house is equipped with most things needed to hold a wedding. However, if you have specific tastes in mind, bring whatever you need. The sound system worked great. The dance floor was simple but perfect for our small group. The cottage was the perfect location for my wife to get ready with her girls. The town is a very short drive away. Perfectly close. Would do it all over again at this property. The owner is easy to work with, kind and warm, and easy to get a hold of. Perfect host.

Beautiful any time of year

This is our second visit to this property. Our first trip was November. Summer was equally great. It’s wonderful for family get togethers. Plenty of space to hang out and entertain all ages. The new kitchen and bathrooms are wonderful. Close enough to walk into town or trailheads. We will be back again.

Beautiful Wedding Destination

So blessed we found this location for our dream wedding. The property was perfect for our entire family (including out of state visitors), the outside was what we had envisioned for our ceremony and reception. All of our guests enjoyed the fresh air, outdoors and beautiful destination. Cannot wait to come back for our 1 year anniversary and celebrate with the family. Owner is very communicative and helped make our special day run without any hiccups. Highly recommend.

Music Lovers

This is a great location for large family getaways! We were also able to bring our two labs which is always a bonus! I like that we could spread out and have a sense of privacy. Three full bathrooms also helped give everyone time and space. We loved the large music room with piano and organ. My son is a musician and appreciated it for sure! There were plenty of games and a pool table, too. We didn’t even touch the TV the entire weekend. David the owner is very kind and welcoming. The main town is a walkable distance and just around the corner from the grocery store. We were surprised at the size of the modernized kitchen (that still has a warm, cabin feel). Any kind of dish, pan, utensil you can think of needing to stay in and cook was there. We brought our own, not used to this nicety! Won’t need to next time! And I have a feeling there WILL be a next time!

Great place!!

We had our annual trip to Idyllwild this last weekend with my kids and their significant others. The house was perfect as it gave us plenty of room to spread out. The proximity to the downtown area was great with only a 10 minute walk. Our host, David was wonderful and supplied the house with all the essentials you could ever imagine. I highly recommend!

Spacious and unique, be careful when snowy

Loved this house. Cabin-y feel with lots of wood throughout, but large with several common areas. Fun antiques throughout. A shelving unit full of board games. To give you an idea of the layout: two queen bedrooms upstairs share a bathroom; double twin and queen bedroom in the main section of the house share a bathroom; double twin bedroom in the billiards wing has its own bathroom. Snow remained on the ground for all 3 days of our stay, which was lovely but... The driveway was mostly plowed but the short incline at the street was slippery and took a little effort to get back up. One also had to be careful not to slip when walking from the car to the house. The area right in front of the front door was bare (no snow or ice) and looked like it might have been salted. Owner generously accommodated parking our motorcycle in the garage.

Family/Friends Getaway

This was our second time staying at he property. It is charming and perfect for a large group. The house is very well equipped and the kitchen is fabulous for cooking. The location to town is perfect. The house is surrounded by trees and set back off the road for privacy. It is close to many hiking trails and restaurant. We look forward to returning to the property and making more memories. The owner is quick to answer any questions.

Perfect Holiday Gathering!

This is our second stay here for our family of 13. The senior parents stay in the guest house and the adult children and their adult/teen kids stay at the house. The rooms are comfortable and clean, the kitchen is large and stocked, and the dining table extends to fit the WHOLE family for a beautiful Christmas dinner. The laundry room and upstairs bathroom have recently been upgraded and are lovely. Any little issue is responded to by the owner super quick and he is always helpful, understanding, and funny too! Our whole family is in agreement that this is the best place we’ve stayed at and we have been going up to Idyllwild to celebrate Christmas for over 20 years! We’ve already booked for next year too🎄
