Great vintage cabin!

"We've rented mountain cabins before, but this was our first in Idyllwild. It's about a 1/2 mile walk to town and is very cozy with the vintage cabin charm. Everything seemed to be in good working order except the electric fireplace in the master bedroom only has lights, no heat, but the wood stove in the living room and the forced air unit worked very well. There were lots of squirrels, rabbits, hummingbirds and bluejays every day to watch. The deadbolt on the front door is a bit tricky to open, being vintage, and I had to call the office to get someone to get us in. I wish the entire property was fenced as I would've liked to enjoy the more private front patio side with the dogs.

My only issue with the property is that even though the backyard is "fenced", I wouldn't exactly say it was secure/safe if you have inquisitive dogs/kids. It's got welded wire fencing about 3 feet tall with short wood fencing on the neighbor's side, but there were tall piles of wood/tools/storage against 2 sides that can easily be climbed on to get out and a few wood fence boards missing. One of the guys from the office was kind enough to move some ladders that were against the wood fence to block the fence gaps so my dog didn't try to get out. Even with this, I still had to keep a close eye out when the dogs were in the backyard as one of them got stuck between the wood pile and the fence when he climbed on it.

Home away from home!

"Nana and Papa's place couldn't be more perfect! The layout of the home allows everyone space and with plenty of areas to sit outside it was tranquil.The location of the property was perfect as it is close to town and yet far enough away to enjoy the quiet of the night."
