Recent Idyllwild guest reviews

Our family had a great visit to Idyllwild in this lovely cabin. The upper living room area was perfect for hanging out together, dining, and playing board games. The location is ideal; the main town with shops, cafes and restaurants are just 5 minutes away. The wrap around deck is perfect for BBQ or enjoy the fresh mountain air. I would return to this town and stay in this cabin again.

I’ve used Vacasa a few times now. Never had any issues and their properties have always been great! No surprise, this property was just as the pictures. Beautiful location and very relaxing stay for my family.
Michael M. | Mar 2025
We loved the ambiance music when we arrived. Very clean cabin. Amazing bed! Our little family thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this cabin. We enjoyed time by the fire and many memories were made with our 5 month old.

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.
