Cabin holiday rentals in Idlewild

We had a wonderful stay at this very cute, charming, and peaceful cabin nestled in the heart of Idyllwild. The location was perfect — just a short walk to town, yet it still felt tucked away and off the grid, offering plenty of peace and quiet. The cabin was cozy and thoughtfully decorated, with all the comforts we needed for a relaxing mountain getaway. We especially loved how close it was to some of the best hiking trails in the area, making it easy to explore the outdoors without much driving. Whether you're looking to unwind or adventure, this cabin strikes the perfect balance. We would absolutely book again!

Scott’s place was perfect for our group of 7 for the weekend! The place was clean, well put together and had plenty of amenities. There happened to be a scheduled power outage one of the days we were there, but Scott was straightforward about it before the weekend and had great communication throughout it all. I would definitely recommend this place to others.

Vanessa and John's cabin in Idyllwild is an amazing getaway. The views are spectacular. Our first night it was raining which created the conditions for one of the best sunsets I have ever seen. My seven year old daughter referred to it as the house above the clouds. The place was well stocked, everything was well organized and clear. Place was spotless and town was just a short drive away. The only thing I will say is that it is right next to the road which does get some traffic, so not as isolated as it appears in the photos. But that is well worth the stay. Would definitely stay here again.

Josh and Dons place was exactly as the pictures appeared. It was the cleanest and one of the nicest places I have ever stayed at through Airbnb! You will not be disappointed. I appreciated their house manual as well and the food recommendation for the Joshua hookah lounge did not disappoint! We enjoyed the proximity to Joshua tree national park and the quiet atmosphere around the property. Truly a place to relax and disconnect from all the other distractions of life.

I will absolutely recommend this place and the host to anyone who’s looking for a private and cozy spot. We fully enjoyed it and had the most relaxing experience.

The cabin has all the amenities, but it was such a calming environment, that just sitting together for our anniversary, listening to the sounds of the forest and feeling the pleasant breeze was enough. Of course we used the hot tub under the stars and watched a bit of Stanley Tucci's show about Italy on Hulu during breakfast, but the cabin and it's location are the best thing happening. Going to dinner in town was about 5 minutes in the car, but we liked the cabin so much, we ate and returned to spend more time together, in a place so very different from our home in San Diego. We'll have to stay longer next time. Thanks David!

This was hands down the best Airbnb we have ever stayed in. In fact, staying here in this beautiful home and amazing location, it has influenced my boyfriend and I to start our journey with owning an Airbnb! I can’t say enough good things about this place! From the squirrels to the hikes, the food!!! Love it, if you have the chance, go!! We can’t wait to visit again 🥹💕

I had such a lovely and peaceful stay at the Tiny Triangle! The A-frame cabin was exactly as pictured—charming, cozy, and thoughtfully designed. The space was spotless and well-equipped with everything I needed for a relaxing getaway. The views from the loft and the deck were beautiful, even more magical in the rain. Luckily it rained when we were there ughhh most magical experience. It was definitely cozy. You can tell Brent and Jackie put a lot of love into this place. Communication was great, and everything went smoothly from check-in to check-out. I’d definitely recommend this cabin to anyone looking for a quiet retreat in nature with great vibes and comfort!

Beautiful and peaceful. View off back side of house is spectacular. The bird seed to feed the birds was a nice treat. The interior was clean, warm and cozy. Would definitely stay here again.

Lovely cabin in the woods. Quiet and away from the crowds. Close enough to get into town easily. Loved staying here!

This was such a beautiful and peaceful getaway location. Me and my friends took a spontaneous trip to Joshua Tree and luckily this was available for the night. Leafe and Kat were such kind hosts and gave us so many options for spots to visit around the area as well, which helped so much considering we didn't do much planning. I recommend this Airbnb for anyone looking for a cozy, serene getaway from the busy hustle of life

Staying at John and Lara’s cabin in Idyllwild felt like stepping into a movie—cinematic, well-curated touches, dreamy natural lighting, and deeply peaceful energy. Tucked away in the trees with minimal neighboring homes in sight, it offered privacy and stunning forest views and distant mountain ridges from nearly every window. Plenty of squirrel and bird friends to watch! The kitchen has a cozy, homey farmhouse feeling, while the living room has a pioneer charm with all the modern comforts. It felt like a true escape—quiet, serene, and full of soul, and yet walking distance to Idyllwild’s town center. We slept like babies and didn’t want to leave. I honestly wish I could buy this place. Would absolutely love to return one day.

Marisa and her team are very attentive to detail, conscientious, and offer a lovely getaway if you are in need of some R&R. Very convenient to the town of Idyllwild, and all the great nature attractions in the area.

We had such a wonderful stay at the Wavy Pines cabin. We were so happy to find a pet-friendly home that we could bring our whippet to share the fun with. Our dog had a blast going up and down the stairs and exploring all the smells outside and experiencing his first snow! The neighborhood was so serene and quiet, we felt so relaxed and it was an easy, short walk to a national forest trail that our dog also enjoyed very much. The town is only a few mins drive away which had restaurants and grocery stores so we were short of nothing during our stay. We look forward to staying again during our next trip to Idyllwild someday!

A Fantastic place to stay! The photos match the house. Place is very nice and quiet. The house was very spacious and had everything we needed for a cozy stay. Jaimy was very helpful and communicated really well with us throughout our stay.

We had an awesome weekend. The cabin was very clean and it was very peaceful. It was wonderful to find a place that had a fenced in yard for the pups to run around. We cooked most meals there and the kitchen was well equipped. Thank you for sharing!

Lulu’s place was such a cozy and peaceful getaway! 10 out of 10! She was very welcoming and you could feel the love she puts into providing her guests the best possible stay they could ask for. Thanks Lulu, see ya soon.

Looked exactly like the pictures, was a lovely and cute cabin! It was close by to shops, restaurants, etc. but far away enough to still have some privacy and quiet. Would definitely recommend!

Fantastic getaway in the mountains, next to a babbling brook, with everything you could want. Just a quick trip down to the village but far enough away that it was super quiet. I'd been dreaming of an A frame with giant windows and a patio overlooking the trees and this was exactly it. That, plus the bonus of a cozy place to watch movies and hang out inside. It was my first trip to Idyllwild and I hope to come back again to stay here.

We loved our stay at Elena’s place. It was so quaint and cozy. Country modern which is my favorite. Super clean and spot on. Very echo friendly. They gave us a welcome card and yummy chocolates, that was very sweet of them. They thought of everything and had everything you would need like your own home. The whole stay was memorable and relaxing. Even my 2 year old son enjoyed it. I would definitely stay there again and again in the future.

Such a beautiful and peaceful little cabin in the woods. Everything was absolutely perfect. Sandra was so kind and answered all of our questions and gave such easy instructions to get to the house. It made for the most perfect weekend getaway we could ask for. If we're ever in the area again we know exactly where we're staying!

We had such a lovely stay at this beautiful A-frame! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by soft music and a welcoming scent that set the perfect tone for a peaceful night. The views were stunning, and we especially loved the unique swing set—such a fun and memorable touch! The property was spotless, with thoughtful amenities like hot cocoa, heated bathroom floors, and easy parking. Communication with the hosts was clear and responsive throughout. It’s clear they’ve put a lot of care into creating a cozy and relaxing retreat. Highly recommend!

We had a delightful stay with our two dogs. The house and amenities were very nice. The yard was big and our dogs loved running around in it. It was easy drive to town and to hiking spots. Overall perfect spot for a weekend getaway!

A beautiful home with a beautiful view! Exactly what you would need for 3-6 people to stay. There are a set of stairs separating the lower master bedroom from the main living space/kitchen/2 upper bedrooms. You can hear movement and louder conversation from upstairs while downstairs. The master upstairs has a skylight- so a love (or dislike) for sleeping. Place had everything we needed. Location is ideal and a short walk to two great trailheads- one requiring a day permit (along the PCT) and the other scenic and lovely. Cell service is limited with WiFi a bit spotty with multiple phone users and a TV. Like others have said, water pressure for the showers is limited as it’s well water. Would recommend and would stay again!
