A quintessential cabin-in-the-woods getaway awaits at this wonderful vacation rental. Perfect for a quiet couple's weekend or an extended getaway with friends, this log cabin has a wood-burning fireplace and a private deck.
Located on Strawberry Creek in the San Jacinto mountains about 50 miles west of Palm Springs, this home sits in a quiet wooded location in the mountain town of Idyllwild. Take a short hike to Idyllwild's town center, embark on a mountain bike tour of the local wilderness, or shop for some cool new threads. Spend the day hiking at Mount San Jacinto State Park, attending a play at The Rustic Theater, or shopping among clothing boutiques, cafes, and funky souvenir shops in Idyllwild's town center a half mile north. There's also fishing, stand-up paddle boarding, and other aquatic activities on Lake Hemet (eight miles south).
If you're in the mood for a day trip, drive 23 miles west to Hemet, where you'll find the fun Fingerprints Youth Museum (sure to be a hit with your kids), live music and theater at the Ramona Bowl Amphitheater, and boating on Diamond Valley Lake. Hemet also boasts golf courses, hiking and biking trails, and wildlife viewing in Simpson Park.
A rustic cabin with updated appliances, this home is a great choice for the adventurous vacationer who wants to have a true wilderness experience without giving up modern conveniences. On a cold winter day, throw some wood in the fireplace and relax on one of the couches as the fire warms the home. Read a book by firelight, or switch on one of the living area's lamps and gather your group for a fun board game. Lounge on the futon and take a relaxing nap while snow falls outside, or put in a DVD and enjoy an afternoon movie with your group.
When it comes time to eat, cook hearty meals using a variety of cookware and the kitchen's modern appliances, which include a microwave, a stove, and an oven. Eat together with your group at the custom knotty pine dining table, or head onto the deck to dine al fresco if the weather permits. Admire the pine woodlands while you swap stories of your day's adventures and savor a fresh, home-cooked meal.
Take a post-meal soak in the bathroom's clawfoot tub or sit on the outdoor deck and listen to the sounds of nature all around you.
