Recent Idyllwild vacation rental reviews

It was advertised as 2 bedrooms, but it also had a loft with a pullout couch, so there was plenty of room for our whole family plus dog. It was well equipped with kitchen items and everything needed for our stay, including the dog's needs (food and water bowl, comfy places to sleep, safe, fenced outside area for potty breaks

Where is Idyllwild, CA?

Nestled in the San Jacinto Mountains, just east of Los Angeles, our Idyllwild cabin rentals offer serenity and tranquility in abundance. The scenic Coachella Valley, home to the city of Palm Springs, is to the east of this mountain range (an easy 50-mile drive away for day trips).

Visiting San Jacinto State Park

Perhaps the biggest draw for Idyllwild visitors is Mount San Jacinto State Park. Hike along more than 50 trails of varying levels, from easy family hikes to challenging treks. The more adventurous outdoor enthusiasts in the group can rock climb on Tahquitz Rock or Suicide Rock, both very well-known among climbing circles. One portion of the famous Pacific Crest Trail runs along the San Jacinto mountain range. Hike to the peak of the range for views of the Coachella Valley, and on very clear days, the Salton Sea. Love to bring your dog along for the hike? You're in luck---we offer a great selection of dog-friendly rentals.
