Adorable cabin! Perfect for a weekend getaway! A few minor things - trouble with the Keurig machine. Previous tenant left a mess in the Traeger machine, so we did our best to clean up. Josh was responsive, however, did take a bit of time to respond. Overall, such a cute cabin and would recommend!

We traveled with our newborn twins and felt right at home. The cabin was comfortable, the amenities were stellar and the view was spectacular. We did a lot of cooking and utilized the grill and kitchen with ease. We also has some cozy nights and the loft was big enough for two travel cribs so we could all be together. Would definitely stay again and look forward to it!

The Lazy A Frame is true to its word. Just sit back on the deck overlooking the trees and read your favorite book or listen to your tunes. The place is very relaxing, easy to fall asleep in the comfortable beds. After a long day of hiking, the hot tub is perfect way to unwind. This is a perfect place to get away from it all and enjoy "Mother Nature"

Solid experience. The view from the back deck took my breath away! I had a solo retreat in the Lazy A and it was a great space for that. Peaceful place at the end of a street and set up with everything you would need. I especially appreciated the book collection. Checking out the stars from the hot tub was incredible too. Lots of great bird-watching as well!The only drawbacks during my stay was some construction noise from a house across the way. It was so quiet and peaceful so sound of lumber and drills amongst the trees was unfortunate. I also had some cleanliness issues. I basically had to re-wash every dish, utensil and cooking tool I pulled out of the drawers because they were sticky or still had food residue on them. Under the beds were pretty gross too, like they forgot to vacuum under there many times.All in all, I loved the location and enjoyed my stay.

A magical space to recharge yourself
Our stay was truly enjoyable and exactly what we needed. The peace, quiet and relaxation we experienced in this cozy A Frame cabin was more than I could have imagined. It is truly a wonderful space to recharge yourself and get away from the hustle and bustle of the city.We will definitely be saving this cabin for any future visits we have to IdyllwildThe hot tub was amazing and enjoyed every evening. We made sure to follow the curfew as to not disturb the neighbors.The coffee maker and amenities in the kitchen were more than we could have hoped for when preparing small meals and snacks. The cabin is a true gem and we hope to stay there again real soon.Take care.

Quick getaway
Our family needed a quick getaway and this A Frame Cabin checked all of the boxes! Having a dog friendly option is a huge plus and we're really appreciative of being able to bring our pups. Overall the cabin was exactly as described in the listing. It's very cute and provided the perfect getaway for our family. We were greeted by a light snow as we arrived and by nightfall there was a nice even snow cover across most surfaces. The fire was fairly easy to get going with the quick start pack that was provided - definitely ready all of the instructions! We missed the part about the fan behind the stove and went through a good amount of firewood before we realized it was there. Once we turned the fan on the cabin warmed up pretty quickly - it's very efficient! The hot tub was perfect on a cold snowy day.and the views throughout were spectacular! I would highly recommend this cozy cabin and we fully intend to visit again!

Cute A Frame in the Tree
A nice, small cabin nestled between the trees. View is beautiful and location is private. Wood burning stove is warm--1 bundle of wood is provided but I would recommend purchasing 2-3 bundles per day. We loved the hot tub (although it didn't heat up until the next morning).

Fantastic house in a great location
We absolutely loved our stay. We stayed in early March and they still had a little snow on the ground. The amenities were great. The cooktop was a little small, but was we were able to still cook meals effectively. The deck is nice with a gorgeous morning view. The utensils were well stocked. One thing to note is that the coffee maker is not a Keurig, but a Lavazza (make note if you are pre-shopping for groceries). Beds were comfy, and the wood burning stove made the house super warm. Nice big TV downstairs, and the record player was a nice touch for dinners. The hot tub was clean and fairly new. Several nice hiking trails in the area as well as off road trails. Idyllwild is a short drive, and there are some nice town square with coffee shops and restaurants. Overall, we would love to come back and bring the kids next time! Fantastic host and a fantastic house!

Perfect Idyllwild Experience!
My partner and I spent a week at Josh’s lovely A-frame. It did not disappoint! It’s stylish, comfortable, and private with incredible views and amenities.
We loved the back deck overlooking the forest with amazing sunset views. The wood stove, pellet grill, and hot tub were also awesome! There were even drinks waiting for us in the wine fridge.
The only advice I would give is to bring some newspaper to get a fire going if you want to use the wood stove , but you can also grab some free papers in town like we did.
Communicating with Josh was easy and he provided lots of helpful details. We would definitely stay again!

Lovely little spot. Difficult turn around and parking for Titan sized truck. If staying during cold weather bring your own firewood. Only a “starter” pack is provided (five logs for a 3 nite stay) but blankets provided were quality and warm. It’s a lovely little a-frame in the woods and a nice get away.

Our stay at the Lazy A Frame was so great. Everything is well thought out, beautifully designed, and makes sense. It was great to be able to relax in the hot tub after a day of hiking (which still felt like new btw), or read on the balcony overlooking the forest in the morning light. We would stay here again for sure and would recommend it to friends and family for a great weekend getaway or extended stay.

Great getaway
An adorable and private little A Frame just about 10 minutes outside of Idyllwild. Everything was as listed and expected, and we appreciated the fire wood and bottle of rose and waters at check in. Highly recommended! (By the way - they are not joking about needing an appropriate vehicle to get down the private road. We had a 4WD crossover, so no issues, but a standard sedan could definitely not make the road even in the best of conditions. Luckily, there is a nearby paved road that is a short walk away, too.)
