Probably ok for a short stay
Several serious issues:- After booking our two-week stay, the host contacted me to say it would actually be an extra thousand dollars because he hadn’t configured the tax correctly in his listing.- The hot tub did not work and was not able to be repaired during our stay, despite quite a bit of discussion with the host and property manager.- The primary bathroom had a cracked bathtub. I found water in the room below, and reported the crack and leak to the host, who declined to address it during the stay.- The shag carpet in the living room was very dirty and had several choking hazards stuck in it. We had to roll it up so that our toddler and dog could be safe in the room.- The host was disorganized and was confused about our departure date. He then had the property manager contact us about watering houseplants.- The primary bathroom has inadequate lighting. It’s not bright enough to clip your nails or see your face in the mirror.- The kitchen didn’t have a pot large enough to cook pasta or beans.Also, for anyone considering booking, the third bedroom is an unenclosed loft above the living room, and none of the bedrooms have shades that darken the room, so bring an eye mask if you plan to sleep past 6 or 7 am.

Idyllwild Retreat
This is that rare property that exceeds the owners description. The design of the property takes full advantage of its surroundings with large windows looking out over the trees. The 400 year old cedar lit up at night in front of the living room windows was magical. The thoughtful decor enhanced the overall experience. You will not find a better property in the area.

We had some unexpected weather challenges during our weekend, and John truly went above and beyond to make sure we were well taken care of. The house is meticulous and is the most well-appointed rental home at which I've stayed. We had a lovely, cozy weekend playing board games, enjoying the hot tub and exploring Idyllwild. A morning coffee with freshly ground local coffee was the perfect touch. We will certainly be back!

Wonderful place for a getaway
Our family needed a little extended weekend getaway before our children went back to school. Finding Haven Idyllwild proved to be the perfect choice for us. The beds were comfortable, the shower had great pressure, the kitchen was well appointed and well organized. Overall, we were quite comfortable and the property made for a wonderful home base.
The owner with whom we communicated was available, communicative, and quick to answer any questions we had. They also checked in with us during our stay to make sure we were enjoying our stay.
One thing of note for future guests: we received check-in instructions on check-in day that indicated the lack of cellular coverage at the house. They mean in. And while it's not a problem once you're there, my suggestion it to make sure you have those instructions available outside of the vrbo app, somewhere that doesn't require cellular service; otherwise, you'll find yourselves driving back down the hill and into town to get those instructions. Maybe that was just an "us" thing, but thought it worth mentioning.
Altogether, we would recommend Haven Idyllwild to just about any appropriately-sized group. We enjoyed our stay and it made for a wonderful getaway. My family indicated a desire to return next time we are in Idyllwild.

Spectacular!
This is a stunning multi-level cabin that’s artfully decorated, surrounded by breathtaking scenery and hosted by someone who’s thought of every little detail to make guests feel welcome and pampered. We can’t say enough good things about this romantic and luxurious little slice of Heaven.
Literally from the second we stepped in the front door, we thought ‘we have to come back when we can stay longer.’ We booked it because the pictures online looked great. It’s even better in person.
We loved loading up the wood-burning fireplace on a cool morning in early March. The Sonos speaker system played chill music and we enjoyed the spectacular views of the woods and mountains through the giant windows.
The nearby village of Idyllwild is cute and fun with an artsy/aging hippie vibe. We wandered around the town center before our scheduled arrival time at the cabin. But once we were able to check in, we didn’t want to be anywhere else. Haven is a destination all by itself with a well-stocked kitchen and a grill on one of the many outdoor decks. Can’t wait to return!

HAVEN
HAVEN is a beautifully designed custom hillside home with an open floor plan with high ceilings and is a nice mix of traditional and modern design. A lot of thought was put into the designed in the way the panoramic windows in the main room and master bed room frame views of the San Jacinto mountain peaks.
The location is ideal since it sits on a large heavily wooded lot on a small cul-de-sac street off Upper Fern Valley Rd. There are neighbors on either side of the house but the back of the house faces a valley with a beautiful mountain stream running through it and no homes in view on the downhill slope giving it a private quiet feel. I think that this is best location in all of Idyllwild best because you really get the mountain/alpine feel as a result of the large mature pines & fir trees, rocky mountainous terrain and views of the peaks in the upper Fern Valley Rd area. The location is 5 minutes away from Humber Park trailhead which has some of the best hiking trails in the area and 10 minutes to Idyllwild town center.
The house has nice furnishings with a chic mountain design. There was beautiful artwork throughout house. Kitchen appliances were high end and the kitchen was well stocked. Also appreciated the instructions affixed to everything so you can easily operate things like the fireplace and hot tub. Beds were very comfortable and bedding was of high quality. The bathrooms had spa type soaps & shampoos. The house was very clean. There are stairs to

There were 6 of us total, 3 couples, who have been friends for over 25 years. We just wanted to get away for a few nights and hang out together. It was a stunning VRBO - one of the nicest we have ever stayed in. Everything was so modern and up to date, and the house was stocked impeccably well! It was gorgeous - we don't have a single complaint. Thank you for the lovely time. We all agreed we would definitely stay there again if we come back to Idyllwild.
