On Strawberry Creek in Idyllwild's historic district, the Owl Pine Guest Cabin was built in 1922. It's the best of both worlds w/ plenty of nature (burbling creek, rock paths, trees, birds, mountain air, stars) + close to civilization (the property is near restaurants/shops). Native rock fireplace, hot tub, eclectic art, record collection/player, games, books, TV, Wifi, BBQ, fire pit hang deck. We have a chicken coop, happy to leave eggs at the cabin upon request. Walk to town. Insta @TheOwlPine

The Owl Pine Guest Cabin is on Strawberry Creek near the center of Idyllwild. The property is the perfect mix of civilization since you're in town, but with beautiful nature everywhere!

The guest cabin sits near our "Summer House" and the two cabins share original 1920s rock pathways in the yard that meander down to the creek.

A short walk to town, you can park your car for the stay and experience the entire town by foot. Hikes are a 5 minute drive from the property (the cabin has an Adventure Pass for parking at local trailheads).

Leave No Trace philosophy:
It's such a bummer to see trash in places you expect to see leaves, dirt, rocks, etc. Please be thoughtful while exploring the surrounding mountains and hike out your garbage when exploring the mountains.
