Secluded "Hidden Heaven" Vintage Cabin on Strawberry Creek, Walk to town

“Old Idyllwild” charm. Authentic mountain cabin built in 1923, right on the edge of Strawberry Creek (literally). You can open any window in the cabin and hear the seasonal creek running through Idyllwild. A short, lovely 10 minute walk (4/10 of a mile) from the center of town. Secluded location hidden from road, surrounded by beautiful grove of pines, redwoods, oaks and dogwoods. A perfect retreat to reconnect and rejuvenate. Home is also walking distance to the local creekside amphitheater. Stop by there on the weekend during the summer to enjoy concerts in the park. Or listen from the back deck the sound of music filtering through the trees.

NO PETS ALLOWED UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. SERVICE ANIMALS NOT ALLOWED DUE TO HOMEOWNER BEING ALLERGIC. NO EXCEPTIONS.

Wonderful place!

Our stay was wonderful. The place is very comfortable and well maintained. Nestled in the trees with plenty of shade. A classic cabin in the woods. The kitchen is well stocked with cooking equipment and basic necessities. Having the creek within view behind the deck is wonderful.

Hidden Heaven Review

We wanted an older rustic style cabin with a great big stone fireplace. A cabin that felt like a trip backwards through time. Hidden Heaven is precisely that! Everything about this cabin was nostalgic. From the fresh smell to the warm thick blankets available for you to wrap yourself in during the cold nights. Also, it’s location! Less than a 10minute walk to the center of town via the trail path behind the cabin. We cannot wait to stay again!

Adorable

We stayed here for a wedding that took place at the Harvey House up the street and it was super easy to walk to and from the venue. The house is adorable and you feel like you’re staying at grandma’s house. Very cozy, very clean. I accidentally locked myself out of the house and they had someone there to let me back in within 15 min. The creek behind provided a beautiful background when out on the patio. Would definitely stay here again.

The cabin was a hidden haven.

This lovely cabin was tucked into the hillside overlooking a creek. It was a beautiful setting, secluded but close to town. There was a nice nature path behind the cabin that took you to town. There were 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms that allowed each couple their privacy. A good place to read by the fire and enjoy nature.

The creek in your backyard Full of birds, fully stocked kitchen, Very comfortable beds and bedding and hot showers. They could use Some higher powered lightbulbs. Every spice you could even think of is there. It is furnished as you would expect a law car cabin with the modern conveniences.

We went up for the weekend for some relaxation. The sound of the creek was "heaven" and only a short walk to town for eats. The deck overlooking the creek was spacious and we will definitely be back.

A couple of weeks in Idyllwild

We really enjoyed our two weeks day in this charming vintage cabin. The creek location is perfect. The furnishings we’re very comfortable and the rental agency staff we’re excellent in helping to resolve a minor issue. Perfect place to read a book, bbq on the deck or explore the town.

Great cabin with terrific location!

We had a great stay at this great cabin next to the stunning creek. Four of us women got to reconnect and celebrate a friend’s birthday. The deck was absolutely perfect for enjoying our coffee in the morning and our wine and charcuterie in the afternoon. The sounds of the creek were so peaceful and the beds were so comfortable for a great way to recharge on our getaway! I would highly recommend this cabin as will be back!

True to its namesake

I don't believe in a love at first sight for people but I do believe in it for places and that's exactly what happened when we arrived here: we fell in love. My mother was already planning our next visit when she first stepped in. The cabin is absolutely beautiful. Everything from the furniture to the decorations to the homely touches encapsulates everything that we love about Idyllwild: it's timelessness, it's humility, it's grace, it's charm, it's simplicity. We are definitely going to return here, sooner rather than later.

Snowy cabin

Great mountain cabin. Plenty of space for our family of five. We had trouble turning on the lights in the main living area at first, but the property manager was very helpful and arranged to send someone out to help us. Luckily we figured it out ourselves.
