Gorgeous, large home.

This house is beautiful and in a perfect location. Everything is very comfortable and clean. Lots of amenities and activities for guests. Only complaint is an over-sensitivity to noise. They pretty much expect you to be in bed by 9pm or to be completely silent. We were watching Hallmark Christmas movies on TV and got multiple noise complaints which was frustrating. Nothing came of it but it was upsetting since we were following the rules and did not host a big party or play loud music.

Nice place to host a group

The kitchen and grill were perfect for preparing group meals, and the common space made for a lively gathering room. The bedrooms were not as advertised in the listing. There were supposed to be 6 K or Q rooms, but one of the queen beds had been moved in with another, so there were only 5 private double occupancy rooms, which wasn’t helpful for our couples’ planned sleeping arrangements.

This property is perfect for our family get together we had everything we needed to enjoy our time at the property I wish we had more snow to play in but plenty of entertainment. The big open floor plan didn’t feel clustered.

The size of the house is perfect. The Heater kept blowing out cold air and the fire alarm kept going off in the morning while making breakfast. Other than that we love staying here.

Beautiful Cabin

Lots of space for a large family, pool table, large sofa, a game table, and another game table to put together a puzzle or play a board game. Lots of places to relax and set. Kitchen is fully stocked with kitchen utensils, and even an extra fridge in the laundry area. Hot tub and outside area is amazing. Plenty of rooms, and beds (the beds are a little hard, so if you like a soft bed bring a pillow topper) Fire place is so cozy (bring wood). There is a TV over by the board games and one above the fireplace ( you can only watch cable, streaming doesn’t work that well) Very clean, and cozy. Close to downtown Idyllwild. Loved this cabin!

Great place for a large group

The place is so big - never felt crowded with 7 adults. Jacuzzi was great and the kitchen was stocked. Great location - close to downtown and some hiking trails. We cooked every night in the kitchen and used the BBQ - no problems. Loved having 2 fridges. Beds were cozy and the place stayed cool (it was 80 degrees the weekend we went) Would definitely stay again.

Fantastic Family Vacation At Hidden Lodge Fern Valley

Perfect setting for our family vacation in honor of my upcoming 75th birthday. We were fortunate to have snow on the ground and an over night snow storm to add to the beautiful forest backdrop. This house was a great size for my family of 7 adults, 3 children, and 1 dog. The house looks exactly as it is pictured, however, there is only 1 gas barbeque. The house is well equipped except it was minus a much needed snow shovel. I will suggest that the linens, pillows, and towels could use an upgrade. Also the oven was dirty and not working properly, and the gas barbeque had not been cleaned in a very long time. We wished there had been a guest sign in book so we could see where people had come from, and read their comments about their visit.

Perfect place in a winter wonderland

This house was perfect for our group of 10. We had a lot of space, the kitchen is large and great for a gathering area. We especially loved the screened in porch - even during the winter. So nice to sit in (with a jacket) and watch the snow fall. The pool table was a PLUS! We will definitely be back!! Thank you.

Fam Bam summer vacation

The lodge was huge, there’s more than enough bedrooms for 9 people. Things to improve, one high ceiling fan was looking unstable , so we were concern it might fall and cause injuries . Some cobwebs on ceilings, we were not made aware there is no air conditioning first floor , one bedroom downstairs with king bed was very warm. My husband and I slept at one of the rooms Upstairs with twin beds. The last room upstairs by the stairway with one full bed was freezing , my son had to sleep downstairs in the couch. In the kitchen , the dishwasher soap compartment is broken and one rack was tied by a rubber band. These were all reported so hopefully those staying after us will find these fixed. Also please provide some kitchen towels and pot holders. There’s enough pots and pans, glasses and cups and plates, silverware. Needs more wine glasses. There’s a lot of entertainment like the pool table, dart , table games. Oh the big TV IS HARD TO MANEUVER. Just wondering there is no regular channels just Netflex. Inspite all these , our family had fun. We went hiking at the Maxwell Scenic trail , easy 5 miles round trip. There are so many trails to go. We went to their small town with interesting shops. Saturday night we went karaoke bar in their small quaint town. it was fun . The locals were friendly. Don’t get hurt there, no hospital around , need to drive to Hemet or Palm Springs.

This was our second stay in this home and we’re going back next year for our Church Marriage Retreat. We all love this cabin but would like to see some minor improvements. Hopefully the issues we had this year will be resolved for our stay next year! Thank You Vacasa for hearing our pros and cons.

Great family getaway

The goal of our stay was to get away and spend time as a family. The spaciousness of this property was our favorite feature. We loved the open floor plan on the first floor. We were able to be all together while having several different activities going on at the same time. Game of pool, a family movie, a card game at the dining table, craft projects at the barstools and preparing a meal all in the same grand space. We found that the kitchen lacked a few basics like salt & pepper, foil, dishwasher racks were broken and dishes were difficult to load. Plenty of dishes and silverware. From infant to adult, there was something for everyone. Would recommend for a large family gathering with any ages.
