About this property

Relax in our Amazing Gazebo on a seasonal brook. Perfect couples retreat!

EV Charger ◦ Pet-Friendly ◦ Wood-Burning Fireplace ◦ Fully-Stocked Kitchen ◦ Quiet ◦ Screened Gazebo ◦ Seasonal Creek

Idyllbrook is a charming craftsman cottage overlooking a park-like setting. Many upgrades include AC and heat, solid red oak flooring, granite countertops, ledgestone fireplace with cedar mantel, period-style light fixtures and a cozy dining nook. Wrap-around deck with forest views and a private footpath leading to a magical screened-in gazebo sat alongside a seasonal brook.

Idyllbrook is located in a very quiet neighborhood, and just under a mile to the heart of town!

You’ll find that Idyllwild has something for everyone.

If your ideal getaway involves unplugging and getting out into the fresh mountain air, just head “up the hill.”

The true treasure of Idyllbrook is the screened-in gazebo aka BrookHouse that sits at the edge of the property line along the babbling brook. Follow the meandering steps down into the backyard and find the BrookHouse awaiting your arrival. Inside, a huge sectional entices you to kick your feet up. As soon as you sit, you'll have no choice but to take a moment to be still and listen to the sounds of the forest. The magic of the BrookHouse will wash over you, and a nap may happen before you know it. A small desk sits in the corner along with a power strip in case a spark of inspiration hits. The desk has a chair but can also be converted into a standing desk.

This two-bedroom cabin hosts a king bed in the master bedroom and a full in the second sleeping area. Both sleeping area are located on the top floor of the cabin and each have a private balcony and sitting area.
There is one full bathroom on the entry-level of the cabin with a shower/tub combo, toilet, and sink.

𝐋𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐑𝐨𝐨𝐦
The living room, dining nook, and kitchen are down a small set of five or so steps from the front door. The living room has two large, cushy sofas and a lounge chair so there is plenty of room for everyone to cozy up around the statement ledgerock wood-burning fireplace or the 55" flat-screen Roku TV with Bluetooth soundbar. There is also a plethora of board games for game night!

𝐊𝐢𝐭𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐧
The kitchen is well-equipped with all your cooking needs including ample cooking utensils, basic oils, spices, waffle maker, rice cooker, bakeware, and even children's plates and cutlery.

𝐁𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐲𝐚𝐫𝐝 & 𝐁𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐃𝐞𝐜𝐤
The backyard is sprinkled with little sitting areas to nestle into as well as a hammock perfect for napping. On the back deck, sits a couple of iron rocking chairs, bench seating, and a four-seater outdoor dining table. These outdoor seating areas overlook the spacious backyard and seasonal steam. We've added a short fence that can be pulled out to block-off the deck area so that your pups can enjoy the view with you. A gas BBQ sits around the side of the house.

Idyllbrook is centrally located near the village of Idyllwild. The cabin sits just under a mile (.9 to be exact) from Café Aroma at the North end of town, or head south down South Circle and your walk will be the same distance to the new Idyllwild Brewpub and Fairway Market at the South end. Be sure to save some energy for the journey back as coming home is uphill. Live it up in town without worrying about having to drive home later, as there is no Uber or Lyft in our mountains.

Beautiful cabin, perfect for a relaxing getaway
Loved the property, if you want to curl up in front of a roaring fireplace with sounds of a forest brook in the background then this place is for you. Close to town and nature. Very communicative hosts (in a good way).

Nice getaway
The house is very clean and cozy. The kitchen has everything you could need including dog bowls. The property is beautiful and relaxing, you can hear the brook running behind the house. Close enough to town but far enough you feel secluded. Everything was clean and comfortable. Check in time is a little late compared to others we’ve stayed at. Overall a great time!

Terrific Mountain Cabin
Spent 3 nights over Xmas, house was perfect for cozy holiday time. Extremely clean, well- stocked, cute and fun. Would go again. Owners were immediately responsive and accomodating to changing dates of the stay. The town of Idyllwild is so pleasant. Great time!!

Super Cozy Cabin!
The Idyllbrook cabin was a perfect getaway from the city for our family (two small kids and a dog). The cabin was super clean and comfortable. There are woods to explore right in the back yard and the home had everything we could have wanted from kitchen supplies/spices to bedding, firewood, and games... even the guitar was tuned! Such a great trip -- we can't wait to return!
