Cabin rentals in Idyllwild-Pine Cove

Cabin in Idyllwild-Pine Cove
4.93 out of 5 average rating, 117 reviewsCozy cabin a short walk from town center
Bring a flashlight and you’ll never need your car to go in and out of town regardless of the hour. A straight shot down the street to get to karaoke at the Lumber Mill (thus the flashlight) or a quick left to head into town for shopping and food. Probably the most proactive hosts I’ve ever had (after eight years of multiple stays per year). Place was quiet and cozy. Great for a solo traveler or a couple. Would stay again.

Had a wonderful time at Wavy Pines. The cabin is spacious, rustic, and cozy - with everything we needed for a getaway in Idyllwild. Great kitchen and living room setup. Lots of thoughtful details. Very dog friendly. The cabin feels quite secluded, surrounded by trees in a peaceful area, but still just a quick drive to town. Jonah was an incredibly helpful host as well, always communicative and flexible as our travel plans changed last minute. 10/10 :)

Amy’s place was wonderful. Beautiful views, very peaceful, clean, and homey. We enjoyed the fireplace and going out on the deck with a cup of hot tea looking at the sunrise! Loved that it was dog friendly too. Would definitely stay here again!

Cabin in Idyllwild-Pine Cove
4.93 out of 5 average rating, 211 reviewsCozy cabin getaway in the woods - Dog Friendly
Really charming well kept cabin. Kitchen was stocked with everything they said, and everything was in good shape, which made preparing meals easy. The end of their block is a dead-end street that opens onto trails for the national forest. This is the highlight. Ideal place to walk your dog, enjoy hikes and spectacular views. The two bedrooms don’t have a ton of privacy from each other, but this was not an issue for us as we were a single couple with our dog Check in smooth and easy. Fenced in yard perfect for smaller dogs. If you have a larger dog, you may have to keep an eye on him, there are a couple of places where our dog could have jumped the fence but would say a smaller dog would have no issues and be totally safe out there. There’s a convenience store at the end of the street at the gas station that had firewood when we ran out which made it really easy. Would definitely stay here again.

Some details I appreciated—firewood and matches provided. Fence is 5+ feet high, in good condition and goes around the whole property which was a big plus for our dog. On a quiet street and walkable to town. Mountain tap water tasted great. Heating worked well in winter with easy to control thermostat.

John and Lara were always responsive. The cabin is in an ideal location for visiting Idyllwild. Easy walk into town. The cabin is old and weathered but met our needs. We were 3 couples in our 60s for a birthday weekend celebration. Two of the bedrooms and one bathroom with shower were on the entry level. The 3rd bedroom is up a steep set of stairs and has a low clewing (as described). Bed upstairs was comfortable and the space was nice but beware of the steep stairs. The second bathroom was down another set of very steep stairs into the lowest of the 3 levels. The outdoor deck was really nice and the kitchen had most everything we needed. Overall a good stay. We would recommend if you don’t mind the steep stairs or have a family with kids who could navigate them easily.

This was our second time staying at the cottage, and we will return again in the future. The place is peaceful, clean, in a beautiful setting, and close to town. Sandy and Ken are friendly, have great recommendations, and their hospitality is above and beyond other Airbnbs we’ve been to. There is great attention to detail, including having a humidifier because it was unusually dry, having filtered water for our use, including water on each nightstand. We highly recommend this place and look forward to our next visit!

My family and I had such a wonderful time here at the cabin. The cabin was so cozy and peaceful, and the surrounding was so beautiful with trees, birds, and bunnies everywhere. We LOVED the shared swimming pool. Swimming in cold water after a hot summer hike was probably the best part. The kitchen was a bit small but it wasn't a big issue for us. We would definitely stay here again.

4.97 out of 5 average rating, 125 reviewsCozy cottage under the pines. With hot tub
Cedar cottage was as described. Looked like photos but was immaculately clean. The bed was very comfy with nice sheets and pillows. We took advantage of the fully stocked kitchen and BBQ as we cooked our entire stay. Kept the fireplace burning as well. Our dog loved the yard! Front and back fully fenced. Mark even supplied dog bowls. The jacuzzi was an added bonus. We woke up to snow our last morning. We’ll be back!

Great hidden little gem, it’s a beautiful ranch with goats, horses as well as other smaller animals. The host was super friendly and helpful. It’s a very different experience in Palm Springs but totally worth it. I would rent it again! :) thank you for everything. Bernie

Cannot recommend staying at Michelle’s enough. Great host, thought of everything to make our stay as comfortable as possible. Close to shops/restaurants too, but still felt private enough to enjoy the natural beauty of Idyllwild. We have a beautiful, memorable weekend and will definitely stay here again in the future. :)

Came here for a weekend getaway & if it were up to me , I would’ve stayed in the hammock all day . The way the cottage was isolated from the other cabins was such a vibe . They gave DVD movies at check in that you can borrow and I definitely took that offer . I would come back Forsure !!

Everything was excellent. Beautiful clean home. Host was really helpful. Only challenge we ran into was that the location ended up being 1.5 miles from where it was pinned on Airbnb. I have no doubt the host will take steps to correct this, as she seemed unaware until we let her know. Otherwise truly incredible.

Thank you for hosting our family! We loved your home - the design is great, it was super clean, close to town (we loved walking to coffee, brunch, and shops!), and a great spot to relax. We enjoyed nights by a roaring fire and jumping back and forth from the hot tub to the warm pool. We really appreciated your quick responses to messages. Thank you for being awesome hosts!

Beautiful home at the end of a culdesac up and away from town but not too far. House was clean, the rooms were large and the beds were all kings i think. Everyone slept comfortably. Bathrooms look recently remodeled and nothing was really out of place. Wifi worked great, little things here and there to do like a tree hammock, a gas firepit outside, lots of patio seating etc. We enjoyed our stay very much. We had an infant with us and there was a safety gate on the stairs which was appreciated as well.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Sunny Cottage to ring in the New Year! 🤩 We wanted to do a getaway because our dogs are terrified of fireworks and we’re so glad we went to Idyllwild! There was not a single pop and our boys didn’t have to be anxious all night. This beautiful, comfy cottage allowed us to unwind, rejuvenate, and enjoy the nature around us. Sunny Cottage had everything we needed: super charming and cozy, fenced in backyard for our dogs, and great location! Ella was so proactive and responsive which really put our minds at ease. It was exactly what we hoped it would be and we definitely plan on coming back soon!

Beautiful and comfortable house. Water pressure in showers was a little weak. The description[ did not make it clear that the 3rd bedroom was much smaller and did not have an en-suite bathroom. Overall it was perfect.

Your guide to Idyllwild-Pine Cove
Introduction
Nestled high up in Southern California’s San Jacinto Mountains, Idyllwild has always been a popular getaway — first as a seasonal destination for the indigenous Cahuilla people, later as a sanatorium for patients recovering from respiratory diseases, and today as a nature lover’s retreat dotted with postcard-perfect rental cabins. The mile-high community, nestled between majestic Tahquitz Peak and nearby Suicide Rock, has garnering a reputation as a perfect weekend getaway among hikers, campers, rock climbers, and other outdoor enthusiasts. They are all drawn to its network of local hiking trails, ranging from a leisurely 1.7-mile route to a serious leg-busting 20.5-mile trail. Best yet, when you’re done with enjoying the great outdoors, you’ll return to a quirky, artsy little mountainside community filled with surprisingly good dining options and enriching cultural events.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Idyllwild-Pine Cove
It shouldn’t come as a surprise Idyllwild-Pine Cove’s mountain climate can vary considerably depending upon the time of year. T-shirts and shorts are perfectly comfortable during the span of warm months — June through September — when daytime temperatures are in the 80s Fahrenheit and nights remain in the 50s. Winter months call for layers and jackets, with highs in the 50s and lows dipping into the 30s, and rain and snow regularly fall from late November through late March. If you visit during the more temperate months, don’t forget to pack sunglasses, sunscreen, and a long-sleeve outer layer. The higher altitude can be deceiving, and it’s easy to get sunburned even during cooler days.
Top things to do in Idyllwild-Pine Cove
Idyllwild Nature Center
Before heading out to explore Idyllwild’s numerous hiking trails, drop into this nature center to get a quick primer about the flora and fauna native to the San Jacinto Mountains. Park rangers are not only happy to share hiking recommendations, but also offer details about the fascinating history of the native Cahuilla people.
Idyllwild Park Trail
This 2.5-mile loop just outside town is an ideal introductory hike for most people. The trail steadily climbs more than 600 feet, with enormous rock formations to explore along the way and colorful wildflowers everywhere during spring. Quiet and observant hikers are sure to spot woodpeckers, Steller's jays, sunbathing lizards, and squeaking chipmunks. Also be sure to stop to smell the trees: Jeffrey pine bark smells like butterscotch, ponderosa pine like vanilla, and incense cedar like pencils.Visit the San Jacinto Ranger Station in the center of Idyllwild to get your free hiking permit; day permits are required for all trails. Permits are located outside the station and available after hours.
Mount San Jacinto State Park
This 14,000-acre park’s namesake is part of the second highest mountain range in Southern California, and the trails it contains lead you through subalpine meadows and forests to stunning vistas. The popular 4.5-mile Round Valley loop trail takes you past a historic, nearly 100-year-old ranger station.
