Welcome to Songbird Cottage! Nestled among pine trees on a quiet residential street, this smoke-free, dog-friendly cabin is perfect for families and groups looking for a well-appointed place to call their own.

The tranquil setting is perfect for bird watching from the front porch swing or taking a peaceful walk around the hilly neighborhood or to town (0.3 miles to the nearest restaurant). On hand are an assortment of books, children's books, DVDs, board games, and video games. You can also log in to one of the four smart TVs to stream your favorite show.

The second floor features a full bath (with a blow dryer), a spacious main bedroom (with a comfortable bed, nightstands, chest of drawers, 43-inch smart TV, rocking chair, and desk), and a loft (with a couch/daybed, coffee table, 40-inch smart TV, desk, Xbox 360 with four controllers, and a Blu-Ray player with DVDs). The first floor offers a second full bath (also with a blow dryer), a second bedroom (with a reading chair and 32-inch smart TV), and a third bedroom.

The living room features a wood-burning fireplace, seating, and a 55-inch smart TV. The eat-in kitchen offers a gas stove, microwave, dishwasher, refrigerator, cookware, toaster, blender, coffee maker, and dishware. The table seats four but is expandable to six using the built-in leaf. The laundry room has a washer/dryer, iron, and ironing board.

The fenced backyard is ideal for small dogs and features a grill, a dining table with seating for four, and another seating area for two with a peek-a-boo view of the mountains. Next to the house is a lounge area with seating for four.

Cozy cabin

Nicely appointed cabin in good part of town. Nicely fenced and well lit which can be difficult in the mountains. Upgrades were appreciated. Family enjoyed our stay

Great location. House is clean and pleasant environment. Sitting on the porch swing with a hot cup of coffee hearing the birds made our morning. We plan on renting again.

Great little gem

This was a great place to get away and relax and enjoy time with the family. A great outside area to grill and relax. We had a fantastic time and so close to everything.

It’s a very nice place to stay.

I love the fact that you had air-conditioning. It was brutally hot in Idlewild and had you not had air-conditioning. I can only imagine how uncomfortable that would’ve been turned out. It made it enjoyable stay

Perfect for our family!

We had a family of 6 - plenty of room for all. Loved the proximity to Idyllwild and Lake Hemet (we had a family reunion happening there). We are already talking about our return trip.

Charming Mountain Retreat

Songbird Cottage is comfortable, spacious and convenient to town. Retro furniture, stove. Tasteful songbird decor throughout. Meticulously clean. The beds were quality, TV in all rooms, large open LR with seating for movie night. The Kitchen had good basics. The porch swing was awesome! Our time was too short to enjoy the BBQ or seating in the backyard or the fireplace. We enjoyed local dining at Ferro's Italian (reservations recommended) and La Casita Mexican restaurant (ask for the jalapeno sauce), El Bueno chocolate is a must visit to experience bean to bar cocoa made on premise. Local brewery looked nice set amongst the trees, but was closed on Tuesday. Found an artstore next to Mountain Pottery if you're interested in art supplies. We visited Monday - Wednesday so not all stores were open. Songbird Cottage was the perfect accommodation in a nice neighborhood.

Cute Clean Cabin

Cute old cabin with a well equipped kitchen, comfortable living room. Perfect size for our family of four. Three different bedrooms plus a sofa bed in the upstairs den. Would absolutely stay again.

Nice little house

We used to live in Idyllwild and this place reminded me of my old house! The layout worked with kids and they enjoyed the toys upstairs. It’s very quiet. Overall it was a nice stay for the weekend but the classic stove is not great, so you might be eating out.

Great stay

It was a wonderful stay. It’s super roomy, and being able to bring our dogs was an added bonus. The little yard was perfect for them. It was immaculately clean! You’d never know that dogs had ever been there. While some of the decor is a little dated, we really enjoyed the retro cabin vibe! It was like getting a huge hug from our grandparents era. The location was awesome! We walked to town and trails through a darling neighborhood. All in all I’m very happy with our stay and wouldn’t hesitate to book there again.
