Idyllcottage is in the Historic District on the north end of town between the village and Humber park. Just steps to restaurants and Strawberry Creek. Relax and watch movies from our amazing 9ft Restoration Hardware couch or nap in the nook (although you might not have a chance if you are bringing kids, they will "call it" months out). Packed with charm and history, Idyllcottage will exceed your expectations.

Located at the top of North Circle Drive you will be living on the edge of the village of Idyllwild, which is a perfect place to be vs. smack dab in the middle. Walk across the street to Cafe Aroma Bistro or a few more steps to Idyology and other great restaurants. Idyllcottge sits on 1/4 acre parcel Strawberry Creek is a short 250 feet from the back of our property.

Idyllcottage is within walking distance to town, only 1/2 mile to the heart of town and even closer to the north side of town where there are many shops and restaurants. just be sure to save some energy for the journey back as its 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.

Cute, clean,well equipped, overall excellent. Just a couple of things: sofa cushions desperately need to be restuffed! And a throw blanket for sofa and coffee set up with coffee and creamers would be great additions. the hot tub was lovely , but it took a loooong time to heat up from 85, the temp it is set to on standby, so turn it up as soon as you arrive if you want an early’ish evening hot tub!

Moska’s Stay

We had a great weekend at Idyllcottage! We loved the location, easy to walk into town and close to great hiking! We enjoyed soaking in the jacuzzi and having some quiet time reading on the couch. Great suggestions on restaurants and activities! Loved that there were games, puzzles and tons of books too! Thank you for a great stay!

Girls weekend

I stayed 3 nights and really enjoyed it. We had all we needed with the kitchen stuff to cook a meal or two. Across the street was Cafe Aroma, where I had my last meal listening to a crooner. We walked down to the creek and it was lovely. Beds are comfy and air conditioning was just right. Only suggestion is to post your house number on street, as the sign by driveway listed innacurate number. I walked in to look around and saw the sign on cabin to let me know I was in the right place.

Perfect place for a family of four

The cabin is great, especially if you are looking for that vintage cabin feel! Everything is exactly as listed and it is in a great location. It has a great cabin/lodge/vintage feel while still having the conveniences and comforts of modern life. It’s an easy walk to town and a perfect place to chill and relax after nearby hiking.

An Adorable Cozy Stay

The cabin is exactly what we were looking for. It’s a vintage cabin with enough modern amenities, like a well stocked kitchen, fluffy towels, and great A/C that you get the cabin experience without the downsides. It’s close enough to town to drive in within minutes but doesn’t feel like you are crowded. It is a clearly loved cabin and one I appreciate that we had the opportunity to experience.

Charming historic cabin, thoughtfully appointed, in best part of town

The rustic wood interior is gorgeous. Great kitchen and bath. The hot tub is clean and the temperature was ready upon arrival, and worked perfectly. Kelly and Erin were nicely responsive. We’ve wanted to rent this cabin for a while; it finally worked out and was worth the wait. We’ll definitely try to rent Idyllcottage again!

Cute cottage close to town

Idyllcottage was the perfect cozy cabin that my family and I were looking for this winter! Besides warming up next to the charming gas fireplace, the space provided rustic charm and all the amenities (and more) that we needed! The kitchen was very well-stocked, beds were comfortable, and the natural lighting was fantastic. We also enjoyed playing in the freshly-fallen snow outside just as much as we enjoyed spending time in the cabin putting jigsaw puzzles and watching tv together. We can't wait to stay there again!

Wonderful location for our annual getaway

We choose to stay here during our 3rd annual trip to Idyllwild. This location is across the street from a lovely restaurant and only a 15 minute walk to the center of town. Kelly & Erin (Kelly's daughter) were extremely communicative, sending us a text a few days before our visit and also the morning we checked out. Our pup came with us and loved being able to hangout with us on the deck while we enjoyed the hot tub. The fireplace is connected to the thermostat, so it automatically turns on according to the settings. Very fun feature. Overall, we had a wonderful visit and look forward to checking out this cabin again in the future.

A relaxing getaway

This is a great place. I went with my husband, son and our dog. It was the first time we've traveled with our son (15 months) and dog so we were a little worried how they would do in an unfamiliar place. But to say they loved it would be an understatement! The cabin has everything you need and traveling as a new parent, we forgot a few things. Fortunately the cabin was stocked with the essentials (Ziploc bags, measuring cups, dog bowls) and also everyday items you may find you need unexpectedly (a screwdriver for a new toy we had to put together). Also, as we were packing up to leave I noticed that they had a Pack N Play/playpen in the closet. Seriously, they have EVERYTHING. I'm usually a little uncomfortable in vacation rentals but this place was so clean and comfy. We loved it. And the hot tub was the cherry on top. Highly recommended.

Perfect in every way

The cabin is very old and fairly small but full of charm and very clean. Despite its small size it was comfortable for our family of 4 (including our 2 teenage sons and dog). Having the loft space worked well for us (I wouldn’t recommend it if you have young children simply because of the height.) The location is great - close enough to walk into town early morning to get coffee, yet far enough away to escape other tourists! The enclosed patio and spa was a perfect way to spend the evenings and also safe enough for our large dog. The owners are absolutely charming to deal with and very organised and helpful. We will definitely return.

Great historic cabin/great location

We stayed here with our pups for a long weekend. It’s an older, quirky cabin. But it is maintained snd kept clean. The owners are very communicative. Cabin has everything you need including coffee grinder and Wilderness passes. Walking distance to downtown. Nice restaurant across the street. And quiet even though you’re right on a main street.

About the host

Hosted by Kelly Halbeisen

Host profile image
Kelly and Joseph Halbeisen started in the vacation rental business in 2005. As owner/managers and a family owned business, we pride ourselves on our unique properties and sharing the wonder of Idyllwild with others. We bought our first cabin as our own private get-a-way but soon found that we were not able to get as much time there as we might like. So our journey began, we fine turned the property for guests and soon found out that others appreciated Idyllcreek as much as we did. The rest is history, we soon acquired more properties in the Idyllwild area and a thriving business was born.

Why they chose this property

We first visited Idyllwild back in the 1990s, we fell in love with the small-town atmosphere, artsy community and great restaurants. Idyllcreek has a location that makes for easy access to everything Idyllwild. Hiking, biking, off-roading and climbing are just some of the many activities available in Idyllwild.

What makes this property unique

We knew from the first time we saw Idyllcottage that it was going to be a great property to own and share. We added a flagstone patio on the side of the cabin creating the perfect outdoor living space complete with barbeque, table and chairs and a Sundance Spa is your fast pass to relaxation after a long day of exploring.
