Lovely Cabin
We had a wonderful time at Elk Horn Retreat. We stayed 5 nights and loved every minute of it. The cabin is beautifully decorated, well furnished, and extremely comfortable. The location is very private and an easy drive to town. Highly recommend this cabin for a stay in Idyllwild.

Relaxing Getaway
We had a wonderful time visiting Idyllwild and staying eat the cabin. It was much more than we could have hoped for. Extremely clean and cozy. My only bit of advice is watch the driveway. It is NOT for a low car or with snow on the ground. It is very steep. Fortunately I brought my pickup and was able to back out of the driveway. We will be back!

When we first stepped foot into the cabin it was immediately apparent the love that was poured into this home; so very warm and inviting. The cabin was completely spotless and very well maintained. We had everything we needed. The incredibly beautiful location can't be beat. There are bobcats that stroll through the woods surrounding the cabin in the early morning and evenings so please be sure to keep your fur babies leashed.

Quick retreat in nature
A perfect home for our two dogs, who enjoyed exploring the beautiful property! Super super comfy beds in both rooms, and the two oversized recliners were so perfect! Convenient location to the Nature Center, and Deer Springs Trailhead. We had a nice walk to the nature center. A quick drive to town. Kitchen is clean, organized, and equipped for meals. We ate most of our meals in home. The deck is comfortable,quiet, and removed from close neighbors. Only suggestion is to have spare tp and facial tissue on hand. We may have missed it. Love the home and we hope to revisit soon!!

We will be back!
The house was so clean and cozy. We felt right at home. There is also a trail right near the house that allows you quick access to nature. The back patio forces you to slow down and enjoy the peacefulness that is offered around the house. The beds were very comfortable and had soft sheets which was a major plus for me. I would highly recommend this house for a peaceful getaway. We are definitely coming back with our two girls. I will note that you do have to drive to town but it’s very close.

Very peaceful setting in a beautifully maintained cabin/home
This cabin is located in a very quiet neighborhood about a mile from "downtown" Idyllwild. It is extremely clean and well-equipped with excellent kitchen appliances and cookware. We ate every meal at the cabin (mostly on the back deck) making full use of the extensive kitchen space and equipment. The birds and squirrels were a joy to watch and photograph. Despite the heat, the temperature in the cabin was comfortable due to the shade from surrounding trees and use of window fans. This was my 3rd visit to the Elk Horn cabin (the other 2 being over 25 years ago!) and it is still a wonderful as ever!

Wonderful get away at the Cabin
This gem is a perfect cabin for a getaway. Lots of hiking trails, drove over to the Palm Springs Tram and hiked there. Great!! The cabin is a perfect, just the right amount of rustic. Great location among the trees. Lots of fans for cooling off during the warm summer. We will be back soon!!

Exceptionally Clean, Beautiful Grounds, Well-Stocked
This was one of the best-stocked rentals and it was exceptionally clean. The hot water was super hot and the climate control was super easy. There was a fireplace and they even had it stocked with logs (though we brought fire starters to make it easier to light.) The grounds were STUNNING I wish I could include photos. Wildlife, a creek, snow on the ground, nestled into the hillside. They had coffee, ziploc bags, good quality soaps and hand soap, dish soap, throw blankets and pillows, plenty of towels, everything you could need. The check in and check out process was the easiest ever. I really think we’ll be back and it’s so nice knowing you don’t have to worry about much because they have the details covered. All they ask is you take off your shoes inside bc there’s a clean carpet throughout the non-kitchen/bathroom premises. We appreciated the cleanliness!

Great location
House is located within a neighborhood but being on the property felt like being out in the woods with no neighbors--a great relaxing spot, very quiet. Yet, it was close enough to the Idyllwild shops and restaurants.

Hike outside your door
We’ve been here one time before and came back because we love the town of Idyllwild and we love that this house backs up to a state forest. We didn’t have to drive to the Nature Center with the kids — we hiked! The house is comfortable and warm, which was perfect when a winter storm rolled through town.
