This was our second time staying here and we will be back again. We love the giant gated yard for letting our dog roam around and chase squirrels. The location is perfect for getting into town or off to great trails. The space itself is very comfortable for us as well.

This was our fourth stay at the Little Cabin. As a couple with dogs, it is the perfect getaway for us. The Little Cabin has all the amenities we could need and a large fenced area for the dogs to play. It’s proximity to both hiking trails, neighborhood walks and downtown Idyllwild is ideal.

Thank you so much for an amazing stay at your cabin. It was cozy, clean and they outdid themselves on the attention to detail. They also left the most thoughtful gift of coffee mugs. Such a great touch! They were very responsive with any questions we had. We can’t wait until our next stay at The Little Cabin!

I had such a wonderful stay at The Little Cabin! I really appreciated how welcoming and attentive Jeff and Barb were. They’re truly Superhosts — they checked in before my arrival and made sure I had all the details I needed for an easy, stress-free check-in. The cabin was spotless, cozy, and had everything I could possibly need. Jeff and Barb even invited me to pick apples from their trees and left a thoughtful welcome gift. The location is peaceful and beautiful, yet still close enough to everything I wanted to explore. There’s plenty of space if you’re traveling with dogs, but it was also perfect for a solo retreat. I felt safe, comfortable, and completely relaxed. I’ll definitely be back!

Perfect for the 2 of us and our pet Chihuahua. If you like lots of trees, birds, and squirrels with high bushy tails, this is the place to stay. Very close to downtown Idyllwild and also close to Taquitz Peak and Humber Park. Take a stroll on Ernie Maxwell Trail if you want an easy hike. We went halfway from the north end in one day and halfway from the south end on another day. We drank coffee from our Little Cabin coffee mugs every morning...nice gifts to take home!

Every thing was perfect on arrival, including check-in. I stayed here about a year and a half ago and was delighted to see all the improvements they have done since my last stay, not that anything was missing. A great place to take my dog and relax!

Rest and relaxation achieved

We had the BEST time! After a rather stressful few months at work I wanted to escape to the mountains and this was the perfect place to recharge. Lovely cabin, very clean, plenty of squirrels and birds to look at and listen to on the porch, cozy woodstove for chilly nights, we took walks every day and there’s lots of hiking trails! Walking to town is doable, just note there aren’t sidewalks but it’s a fun outing. Jeff and Barb were fantastic hosts, messaging us with current events in town if we wanted to attend, quick to respond to any questions. We will definitely be back and we’re going to bring our dog next time!
