Recent Idyllwild guest reviews

We loved the home layout which had spacious rooms! We had a great stay. Our only issue is we had an unwanted four legged friend that caused a little unwanted excitement for us. Vacasa got someone out to put out traps and we only saw it the first night of our stay. We loved the location, the hot tub was great, and Idyllwild was only about a 10 minute drive away. There was a convenience store at a gas station that was less than a mile away. Overall we had so much fun.

Lovely cabin, it's exactly what you want when you say, "I went to the mountains and stayed in a cabin." Clean, cute, and authentic.
Lisa W. | Jul 2025
Great little place. Had everything we needed to get our dogs out of town and have a relaxing 4th get away / noise free place without the 4th fireworks. Very quiet. The home had a nice fully fenced yard and large deck / patio. A/C worked great and kitchen was well stocked with the necessary plates / bowls/ utensils. We would come back for sure...

Where is Idyllwild, CA?

Nestled in the San Jacinto Mountains, just east of Los Angeles, our Idyllwild cabin rentals offer serenity and tranquility in abundance. The scenic Coachella Valley, home to the city of Palm Springs, is to the east of this mountain range (an easy 50-mile drive away for day trips).

Visiting San Jacinto State Park

Perhaps the biggest draw for Idyllwild visitors is Mount San Jacinto State Park. Hike along more than 50 trails of varying levels, from easy family hikes to challenging treks. The more adventurous outdoor enthusiasts in the group can rock climb on Tahquitz Rock or Suicide Rock, both very well-known among climbing circles. One portion of the famous Pacific Crest Trail runs along the San Jacinto mountain range. Hike to the peak of the range for views of the Coachella Valley, and on very clear days, the Salton Sea. Love to bring your dog along for the hike? You're in luck---we offer a great selection of dog-friendly rentals.
