We loved staying at The Lodge. Very cozy, clean, and welcoming. Just a short drive to Idyllwild and hiking trails.
We enjoyed the sunrise as we sat drinking coffee, chatting by the fire in the incredibly hot fire stove. The beds were super comfortable. We even had robes to wear to the hot tub. Thank you Alex for being available for questions. You are the best host!!
We had an absolutely fantastic time staying at the cabin. The communication with the host was outstanding. The cabin was very cozy and clean. Enjoyed the beautiful views from the deck. Expect a bit of a hike from your car to the cabin.
The views are stunning. The cabin has everything you need . The location is private. Be prepared to walk your belongings up a pathway to cabin. Owners are just a text away for any questions . We’ll definitely stay again
Not only was the cottage adorable, clean, & well stocked, the owner Alex went above & beyond to help us! An unexpected storm caught us & Alex was beyond helpful, allowing later check out, offering advice & reassurance. Highly recommend!!
The house itself is fantastic. Clean, cozy, and well-stocked with most basic items that you would need. The highlight of the cabin is the deck which is an excellent social space. Plenty of seating options. Did not get a chance to use the hot tub but it is a great feature as well. I loved sitting out in the morning with a cup of coffee and reading the photo history book of the area that was sitting next to the fireplace in the mornings.
That brings me to the location. Holy cow. The views in the photos already looked great but we were not prepared for the absolute stunning beauty of the panoramic vistas that you can see from the cabin and the deck. I would go so far as to compare it to something you might see in Yosemite but right here in the Inland Empire. You absolutely must brave the cold nights to get a fantastic look at the stars.
You’re close to Idyllwild town. Alex is excellent with communication and the setting is magic. The roads are a little dicey if you’re not used to mountain driving and the hike up to the house is a bit of a challenge while carrying bags and heavy items but it’s all worth it. You really cannot go wrong.
The hosts were super nice and accommodating! We were able to check in early which was great. The property was cute. The hot tub was nice to have. We really enjoyed the wood burning stove. Upstairs loft has low ceilings so be careful going up/down stairs and using the upstairs bathroom (it’s very tiny). Overall we enjoyed the stay a lot and the cooler
Weather on the holiday!
Only major downfall is that The entrance was more of a trek than expected. There is no real clear path, but up the side of an unkept hill. We had a ton of stuff so it was pretty inconvenient to get it all up and down. The info about this is at the very bottom of the listing, wish it would’ve been more upfront
I have to start with mentioning how exceptional the owners of the property are. They are kind, thoughtful, detailed and unbelievably responsive.
The lodge was perfect for my weekend getaway. It is charming, cozy and current all at the same time. All necessary kitchen appliances, bathroom fixtures, etc. are newer so you have all you need. They have added so many thoughtful touches, that enhanced my stay, that I truly felt cared about.
I was able to bring my dog and they cared about him just as much. They even have extra dog beds if needed!
The view. You have to see it for yourself. Sunrise, sunset or watching the stars in the sky from the hot tub will leave you and and grateful. I can't wait to go back.
We came up for the tree lighting ceremony and it was a perfect spot! The lit trees in town were visible from the cabin, such a beautiful view! It is definitely an older cabin but the bathrooms were redone nicely and the kitchen has updated appliances. The hosts were super responsive. The walk up to the cabin from the parking is a little steep if you are old and feeble it may be difficult however it added so much fun for us! waking up in the loft with that view is amazing!
