Welcome to
Almost Heaven

"We did a leadership retreat at the cabin. It was a good space for a group of us. We were able to all have our own space and privacy as well as gather for group disscussions and training. We loved it!"

"Loved almost everything about the cleanliness, cozy Cabin vibe with loads of room for all. We were six adults and one 5 year old.
We truly had a magical experience partially due to the service setting us up beforehand. Seamless. Wonderful. Will come again soon!"

"The cabin was awesome, stayed there before and knew that was where we wanted to stay every time we came up to Idlywild! Spacious but charming- views are great and location is ideal."

"Great location and house for kids!"

" I have rented houses many times, and I have to say this was by far the best experience I have ever had. Check-in was a breeze with the wonderful Niki. She was so welcoming , friendly, etc. We grabbed our keys and headed to the house.
The house is a true cabin. Every wall, ceiling, and floor was wood. The place was SPOTLESS! The back deck with very large table was fantastic for relaxing, and enjoying meals. The yard was great, and the hot tub was a perfect way to end our days. The main living area is huge, and allowed for fun games nights, and relaxing. Huge TV, and well stocked with games and puzzles.
The kitchen was truly the best stocked kitchen I have ever experienced! Every spice, pot, pan, knife, etc you would need they had. Honestly, it was wonderful.
This truly what all rental houses should strive for! Oops! I almost forgot to mention the location! Perfect for strolling into town to grab a beer at the brewery or and ice cream cone!"

"Great location, plenty of bedrooms, stop by the creek or walk to town. This location has everything you need for a great vacation."

"The location as well as the furnishings and spaciousness of the house were all wonderful. Exactly as advertised and mentioned by previous reviews. "

"We had a wonderful weekend, the cabin is full of character, and very functional. We cooked a great deal, and the kitchen is well stocked, and a great room to hang out in as well."

"Was great, had a nice time. However property had some blinds that did not work which causes some issues in the morning with light. Also, got a bit of a bad taste when they mentioned we had to pay more for more guests, even though the vrbo websites price didn't fluxuate no matter how many guests you put in. also the charge for wood is a little suspect. I guess they can bring wood, but our place already had wood, even loaded near the fireplace. We also were not able to get in until after 4, however they let us have a late check out by 1 hour. "

"The house was kept in perfect condition. It was also very clean where everything we needed was easily found. It was close to the restaurants and shops so it was easy to walk up there. The house was beautiful and It made everyone’s experience super happy knowing that the pictures were not deceiving. I will definitely visit this place again. It was one of the best experiences with my wife and family. "

"We rented Almost Heaven in May and here we are again. We just love it here - hiking, watching movies by the firelight, sitting on the back deck watching the lunar eclipse, playing cards, etc.etc. Can it get any better?"

— Guest

"Four co-workers drove in...four drove out after three days of cooking, walking Idyllwild, and laughing a lot. The interior of the cabin was roomy and clean with a great fireplace to gather around. (The host left plenty of large logs to burn.) Pots and pans were plentiful in the kitchen. Coffee maker and WiFi worked like a charm. Beds were warm and there were spare blankets for all.

If you're having a steak night, I'd recommend bringing the steaks in from wherever you're coming from. That's what we did and we didn't regret it.

Note: The property is close to a private home that doesn't appear in the photos. It's not a big deal, but we were surprised to see how "isolated" the cabin looked in the pictures and how close to the nearby home it was in real life."

"We give this cabin and property manager 5 stars. The cabin is beautiful. Between the living room and the kitchen, you have to different places to hang out. The only one complaint is the king bed off the living room is uncomfortable but this can be remedied with an egg crate cushion. We will be back for sure. "

"Had a wonderful time with the family here at almost heaven. Very spacious and accommodating space for my whole family of 10. Kitchen was well stocked with amenities. Bathrooms fully stocked. The cabin was surrounded by lots of forestry and provided lots of privacy. Felt very peaceful and comfortable. There’s plenty of amenities and the Spa/Jacuzzi was amazing. The whole place is peaceful, cozy, warm, quaint, charming, and all and all a wonderful and magical place that provided lots of wonderful and beautiful memories for my family and I. Would definitely love to come here again for future getaways."

"Amazing Cabin great back yard. I got snowed in they were so helpful allowing me to stay an extra night for good price."

— Fernando

"This house was perfect for two families. It was well-equipped, comfortable, and durable- we could relax and not worry that our kids would break something. There were a couple of issues during our stay and the management was very responsive and made it right. Right before our stay, the area got a foot of snow- the hill next to the house was perfect for sledding! We plan to come back when the weather is nicer so we can take advantage of the beautiful deck."

— Angela

"We had a great time in the Almost Heaven cabin! Lots to do when staying in with a creek and trail in the backyard, hot tub, and amazing board game selection. It was also a great location, walkable distance to town and quick drive to attractions like the nature center, Mt Jacinto State Park, and Lake Fulmor. The house was clean, spacious, and had a cozy vibe. Perfect for a weekend getaway!"

— Carmen Chegoz

"We had a perfect three-day birthday celebration with ten family members aged 23 to 80! Brunches on the deck with the birds and walks to town were unforgettable."

— Guest

"From letting us drop our bags off early on check in day, to helping us throughout our stay, the hosts were amazing. And the place was perfect. The feels of an isolated mountain cabin with views of a stream and quiet neighbors, but a short walk to town. Loved it and can't wait to go back."
