Wonderful stay!
We had a wonderful stay at the Idyllcreek A-Frame! The location was perfect - a very quiet spot surrounded by trees with the creek nearby, but an easy walk to town. The cabin is very clean, spacious and well stocked, with plenty of space to spread out. The deck area with hot tub and firepit is the perfect place to unwind at the end of the day.

Amazing getaway in an A frame.
Great living room for a weekend away. Loved the couches, fireplace and looking out the tall windows. Main bed is comfortable. Spiral stairs tricky, easier down than up! Kitchen well equipped. Great communication from hosts!

About the host

Hosted by Kelly Halbeisen

Host profile image
Kelly and Joseph Halbeisen started in the vacation rental business in 2005. As owner/managers and a family owned business, we pride ourselves on our unique properties and sharing the wonder of Idyllwild with others. We bought our first cabin as our own private get-a-way but soon found that we were not able to get as much time there as we might like. So our journey began, we fine turned the property for guests and soon found out that others appreciated Idyllcreek as much as we did. The rest is history, we soon acquired more properties in the Idyllwild area and a thriving business was born.

Why they chose this property

We first visited Idyllwild back in the 1990s, we fell in love with the small-town atmosphere, artsy community and great restaurants. Idyllcreek has a location that makes for easy access to everything Idyllwild. Hiking, biking, off-roading and climbing are just some of the many activities available in Idyllwild.

What makes this property unique

We knew from the first time we saw Idyllcreek that it was going to be a great property to own and share. The entire front of the cabin is picture windows, giving anyone inside a view of nature with the comforts of home. The spiral staircase really sets the mood for the cabin. Patios front and back give Idyllcreek ample outdoor living spaces. A table and chairs on the front patio make for a great outdoor dining experience. Lastly, the spa on the front deck is your fast pass to relaxation.
