About this property

In the beautiful Fern Valley area of Idyllwild, the home is bright, sunny and open, and the perfect mountain getaway for a group of friends, one or two couples, or couples with children.

Built in 2002, the home has all the modern conveniences (forced air heating, air conditioning, gas fireplace, microwave, dishwasher, electric stove and oven) and every comfort you'd want in that getaway weekend. Everything is on the first floor (there is a loft above the kitchen but nothing is up there) and the two bedrooms have queen beds and their own bathrooms with showers. There is a washer/dryer as well. The bedrooms and living room are carpeted for cozy warmth, and the kitchen, bathtooms, dining area and hallways are tiled. The huge deck has a table and chairs and is the perfect place to sit out and watch the wildlife and incredible sunsets.

The road to the home as well as the driveway are wide and well-maintained. It's only 1.4 miles to the center of town, and even less to many beautiful hiking trails, from easy to moderate to strenuous levels of difficulty. We even discovered the home is about 75 yards from the popular and easy Ernie Maxwell Trail, which also runs to and from Humber Park.

When we come up to Idyllwild we find our weekends last very long as time does seem to go slower when we're relaxing and simply enjoying the beauty of the area.

Check-in time is 4:00 p.m. and check-out time is 11:00 a.m. For earlier or later times please ask me and we try to accommodate but it depends on the previous and next guests and the housekeeping schedule. For groups with more than four adults (ages 10 and over) a charge of $30 per night per extra guest will be charged (maximum six guests). Quiet hours are 10:00 p.m.to 7:00 a.m. We asks that if you have more than two bags of trash you make a trip to the dump: Idyllwild Transfer Center at 28100 Saunders Meadow Rd., Idyllwild. Posted hours are M-Th: 7:30-5:30, F: 7:30-4:30, closed Saturday, Sunday and holidays (but we always find them open on Sundays, so go figure).

Great Home, Location and Communication with Owner

My family loved this home with all the necessities to make our stay enjoyable and comfortable. It was spacious, homey and we loved the wrap-around balcony. We did encounter an unexpected snow event, that created challenges getting up/down the hill after hours of heavy snowfall. Suzanne was incredible a helpful, along with her local network who was able to provide snow shoveling and an escort in his 4X4 vehicle which allowed us to reconnect with our car left down the hill, unable to make it back up due to all that snow. We recommend this home, but if here in a major winter event I would recommend having snow tires or a 4X4 vehicle. Our car had neither. We do plan to stay again in the summer where the chance of is snow less possible! My thanks to Suzanne & Hector for the excellent communication and assistance.

Cabin Oasis

Beautiful mountain retreat. The home was cozy, clean, and well organized. The home was well appointed with linens, dishes, and cookware. We enjoyed the deck when the weather was nice and enjoyed hunkering down inside when we got snowed in. The home and hostess were amazing.

Overall Excellent

Property is located in beautiful secluded woodsy area. Soon after arrival, we had a light snow which was perfect. The home was clean and well-designed with good amenities. My only complaint, and this perhaps would not be a negative to some people, is that the only cable news channel available is FOX NEWS, the Trump lie-machine!.

About the host

Hosted by Suzanne Weatherly

Hi--this is Phil and Suzanne Weatherly, and we fell in love with Idyllwild the first time we came up. It was in 2010 and we had just gotten engaged and I (this is Suzanne) must have made the mistake of mentioning it to the band at the local bar, so they announced it to the other patrons. We immediately felt like all the people around were our new best friends, and when we went back a few months later, people remembered us from that night (a far cry from city life!). So we've been coming up a few times a year every since as we couldn't imagine a better place for a second home. We are avid fans of vacation rentals as we've used them many times for ourselves and our families, so we're excited to be on this adventure of hosting guests and helping them enjoy fun and relaxing times away from home.

Why they chose this property

We love with this house as it's everything we need and want in a home--a beautiful setting, modern conveniences, and proximity to town, restaurants, shops and hiking.
