Guest rating: 5.0 / 5
ROMANTIC LOG CABIN ~ Quiet, Clean, Cozy ~Walk to Trails, 3 Min to Town! is a secluded 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath log cabin cottage in Fern Valley, Idyllwild, set at about 6,000 feet in California’s mountains. Designed for small groups, it sleeps 4–6 with a king bed, a queen bed, and two roll-away beds, and includes a great room with a wood-burning fireplace plus large flat-screen HD TVs and cable. The updated, fully stocked kitchen (microwave, oven/stove, and cooking/baking essentials) supports longer stays, and a full washer/dryer adds convenience. Outdoor living is a highlight, with a balcony/patio/deck setup, seating, and a propane grill for meals in the forest setting; the property is smoke-free, air-conditioned, heated, and offers free Wi‑Fi and free parking. Hikers can access the Ernie Maxwell Trail from behind the cottage, while Idyllwild’s shops and restaurants are about a 3-minute drive away, including nearby options like The Peak Restaurant and Bar, Cafe Aroma, and FERRO.
Best for
Best for couples and small groups seeking a quiet, cozy mountain retreat with a cabin feel, thanks to the wood-burning fireplace, deck/patio seating, and secluded Fern Valley setting.
