Nice

Cabin was very clean, well stocked w/kitchen equipment, bed was very comfortable, and the smart tv was large easy to use. When I found a leaky pipe in a bathroom and texted the mgmt co, someone was over very quickly. Location was ideal.

Average lodging in Idyllwild

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Pros: great location close to downtown, lovely neighborhood, comfortable beds, wifi with smart tvCons: terrible curb appeal, front yard is cinder blocks and dead grass, driveway is treacherous and hard to navigate, the deck is old, the "view" is neighbors yard and some trees, no soap in the guest shower, no laundry detergent

Perfect location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This cabin is in the perfect location. It is a short walk into town. Even shorter to eat at La Casita. The deck is huge. There is a large grassy area in the back that goes down to a creek. The kitchen is filled with just about anything you could want for cooking. Do bring your favorite spices though. The beds were comfy enough. Two showers and a bathtub. Water pressure in the shower is not good. I suggest googling for NOSAME shower head. TV has Roku. We added our fire stick. Some TVs had Apple TV. Big table for eating meals. We had a great time here. We will be back with the entire family.

Wonderful property!

Great lighting coming in from large windows, well furnished, clean and wonderful property! One thing to note - the driveway is easy to miss because of the small and low address sign and house is set back from the street. Look for paul bunyon on the other side of the street :-)

Weekend Escape

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Staying at In The Pines for a weekend with our daughter and her husband and out two small grandchildren was a wonderful experience. It was the very clean and had everything we needed to cook and bbq. We would definitely stay there again and stay a day longer. The only drawback was that it is a long walk to town. Going downhill wasn't bad but coming back was uphill. So we just drove.

Even better the 2nd time around

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We just finished our second stay at this property. We're still very impressed with how clean, modern and comfortable this home is. It's amazingly quiet, it's walking distance to downtown Idyllwild and we're close to tons of hiking and walking. (We can also walk to La Casita Mexican, the best restaurant in town in our opinion.) On top of that we are very appreciative of the professionalism and warmth of the staff at check-in and anytime we deal with them.
