Cabin vacation rentals in Cleveland National Forest

We had a wonderful stay at this very cute, charming, and peaceful cabin nestled in the heart of Idyllwild. The location was perfect — just a short walk to town, yet it still felt tucked away and off the grid, offering plenty of peace and quiet. The cabin was cozy and thoughtfully decorated, with all the comforts we needed for a relaxing mountain getaway. We especially loved how close it was to some of the best hiking trails in the area, making it easy to explore the outdoors without much driving. Whether you're looking to unwind or adventure, this cabin strikes the perfect balance. We would absolutely book again!

Jill’s Wander Wild cabin was everything we were hoping for and more. It was fully stocked, and quiet and only minutes from town. The hot tub was wonderful, the bed was comfy and we absolutely loved listening to nature on the deck and drinking coffee in the mornings. We did a puzzle, listened to some music and just enjoyed the surroundings while we fell in love with the town. We will certainly be back if she’ll have us!

Fantastic getaway in the mountains, next to a babbling brook, with everything you could want. Just a quick trip down to the village but far enough away that it was super quiet. I'd been dreaming of an A frame with giant windows and a patio overlooking the trees and this was exactly it. That, plus the bonus of a cozy place to watch movies and hang out inside. It was my first trip to Idyllwild and I hope to come back again to stay here.

Raccoon Rock is a perfect place to go for relaxing and decompressing. It is a quaint cabin with rustic cabin and 60’s vintage furnishings . Less than a 5 minute drive to downtown Idyllwild, it was very conveniently situated. With a large deck, wood burning fireplace and well maintained hot tub, you can’t ask for a better place to stay! The host was friendly, responsive and helpful with a well put together “House Rules” book that also gave ideas and recommendations as to what Idyllwild had to offer. We thoroughly enjoyed our getaway and will definitely be returning 😊

Five stars! Heather was a very friendly and responsive communicator, we loved the cabin, it's amenities, and how close it is to Idyllwild town center. sitting in the hot tub staring at stars was such a dreamy summer moment. Accomodated 6 adults very well. Grateful for our awesome getaway!

My wife and I spent our anniversary at this lovely tree house cabin. We had wonderful weather which really made all of the exceptional views pop. The home was immaculate upon our arrival with a greeting card and lighted ambiance. The trails (3) on the property are fun to walk through. Everything we could have possibly needed was already awaiting us. The deck and bridge are absolutely amazing, and the privacy is everything we had hoped for. It felt like we were the only cabin there. The drive to the lake is so close, and in the pictures the lake appears further than it really is. The hot tub was great as well as relaxing and if we had a question, both Rick or Maria would respond immediately. The drive into town was easy and the steps on both sides of the cabin will keep you in shape. They have storage should you need it for extra luggage as the room is small, so keep it as open as you can. We highly recommend this beautiful cabin nestled on the mountain, and Rick is a wonderful host!

This is our 3rd or 4th time here- we just love this Airbnb, truly our favorite! Our doodles have such a big enclosed yard to play- with trees and lots of wildlife all around us. And the prefect view of the Tahquitz rock too! I don’t even look for other Airbnbs anymore in Idyllwild- I just message Ariya and book☺️. The home is always clean with everything we need for cooking and relaxing. I always appreciate the assorted teas from their store as well. This time, we made sure we took advantage of the hot tub after a hike and a run. The bathrobes are always appreciated and even helpful when it got a little chilly at night. Ernie Maxwell trail is just over a mile from the house and my big dog and I hiked/ran there twice- such a beautiful place to take your dog(s). Ariya and Marc are such perfect hosts- always communicating and ensuring we are enjoying our stay. I also appreciated it when Ariya messaged me that I could check in early. Thanks again Ariya! We will be back for Thanksgiving wee

Gorgeous views and surroundings. Kitchen is well stocked with high quality cooking supplies/pots/pans. Using the hot tub with the beautiful view was a dream. Waking up in the middle of the forest with birds singing was lovely. The hosts were wonderful - very responsive and kind.

Our family loved staying in the little A Frame! Lots of homey touches & natural decor that was practical and yet beautiful. The town is walkable from the home. Very peaceful location! Host is very responsive. (People with mobility issues would have a hard time with the stairs).

Perfect weekend getaway in the mountains! This 2 bed / 2 bath home was perfect for our little family (2 adults, 10 month old & 2 dogs). Downstairs- 1 bdr, 1 bathroom, kitchen, dining & living, sliding door to patio. Upstairs - 1 bdr(no door), 1 bathroom. We brought our own pack&play crib (but we noticed this Airbnb has one too!) & set it up in the downstairs bdr. Note: we also brought our own portable blackout curtains which were much needed. The downstairs bathroom has a tub. Upstairs- the bdr doesn’t have a door but there’s a short mesh safety gate which is perfect for dogs & babies. The kitchen was well-stocked for cooking. Really appreciated the secure dog run for our dogs! They had no problem going potty out there. Also something to note: there’s a lot of noise outside the house including roosters, woodpeckers that peck at windows, birds and other animals that land on the roof. If you’re sensitive to noise, bring earplugs. Overall the home was clean & organized.

Teresa and Tom are excellent host. Teresa was available for and question. She thinks about everything that could be needed,I forgot a shaving razor and she had everything at hand for her guests! We enjoyed our time in T’s cabin a lot,and we highly recommend it. We hope to be back soon!

Rebecca’s was very accommodating to a last minute booking and was a generous host to my self, my partner, a rambunctious boy and two dogs. It was overall a pleasant stay. Thanks again!

We had such a wonderful stay at the Wavy Pines cabin. We were so happy to find a pet-friendly home that we could bring our whippet to share the fun with. Our dog had a blast going up and down the stairs and exploring all the smells outside and experiencing his first snow! The neighborhood was so serene and quiet, we felt so relaxed and it was an easy, short walk to a national forest trail that our dog also enjoyed very much. The town is only a few mins drive away which had restaurants and grocery stores so we were short of nothing during our stay. We look forward to staying again during our next trip to Idyllwild someday!

We had a great stay at the Lazy Gnome. The place was very clean and well decorated and furnished. My kids loved going up to the loft but beware that the steps/ladder are quite steep, though they had no issues using them. The neighborhood is nice and quite, the house is under many trees so has plenty of shade, and it's just a short drive to the main town area. We will absolutely consider staying here again next time we come to Idyllwild.

My husband and I with our dog, Lulu, spent a relaxing long weekend at Sarah’s place! The large living room window was the center piece to the house, and the second story deck was such a peaceful spot to eat meals, read, and listen to the birds. Lulu also gives the deck a 5 star rating for bird and squirrel watching!

We enjoyed four nights @ Stoneapple Cottage & so enjoyed this unique & spacious house; we especially enjoyed the old fashioned kitchen with all the pots/pans/cutlery & crystal stemware. The beds were extremely comfortable & the air conditioning did help upstairs as it can get warm. We sat on the lovely patio & had several nice Happy Hours. The Alpacas on the neighboring lot were fun to watch. The location is ideal for easy access to Julian & for birding @ Lake Cuyamaca. Mary left complete instructions on everything. She displayed her artwork & photography in the house & also had her beautiful cards for sale. It was a most wonderful four day trip; the solitude at night was amazing & we certainly benefitted from the surroundings. Thanks again Mary for your prompt responses to my texts! Gwen, Dave & Beth

Great place to stay! It’s close by hiking trails and close to town. Would recommend this location to anyone visiting Idyllwild.

Marisa and her team are very attentive to detail, conscientious, and offer a lovely getaway if you are in need of some R&R. Very convenient to the town of Idyllwild, and all the great nature attractions in the area.

Aradi’s place was cozy and comfortable. The house was clean and fully stocked, with good space. The beds were very comfy and the towels were lovely and fluffy. We had a little ladies getaway and loved sitting outside on the Adirondack chairs and on the deck with our cheese and wine. Aradi messaged back promptly when I had questions before checkin. It was peaceful and quiet and I would totally stay here again!

We loved our stay at Elena’s place. It was so quaint and cozy. Country modern which is my favorite. Super clean and spot on. Very echo friendly. They gave us a welcome card and yummy chocolates, that was very sweet of them. They thought of everything and had everything you would need like your own home. The whole stay was memorable and relaxing. Even my 2 year old son enjoyed it. I would definitely stay there again and again in the future.

Arriving here was like walking into your home. It was immediately inviting, comfortable and clean. Nathan was quick to respond when I asked about bringing our two cats and he was more than happy to host them. I originally picked his cabin for the fenced in yard, but the tree top deck ended up being phenomenal! Myself, my husband and both cats spent the entire weekend on that deck enjoying the quiet and watching all the wildlife. We are already planning to stay here again and will be staying even longer next time!

My husband and I just spent a fantastic Father's Day weekend at Lauren's house. The home is charming, decorated with comfort in mind and has all the extra details that really make a vacation home special. The beds are comfortable, the kitchen is well-stocked, including welcome treats, and while we didn't have little ones, there's plenty for them to do, such as games, painting, and books. For adults, there are other games, a hot tub and a great little downtown area with shops and restaurants not far away. It was so peaceful and the weather was great while we were there. Our dogs loved the fenced-in area and wandering on a leash on the unfenced part of the grounds. Lauren, the host, was very responsive and flexible with checkout. I highly recommend and hope to return!

We had an awesome weekend. The cabin was very clean and it was very peaceful. It was wonderful to find a place that had a fenced in yard for the pups to run around. We cooked most meals there and the kitchen was well equipped. Thank you for sharing!

Just a short trip with our two young daughters ages 5 and 3. At first glance this listing seemed only perfect for dogs. But after a closer look, totally perfect for toddlers too, the fence gave it a sense of security for sure. We all enjoyed the jacuzzi day and night. The house is beautiful, but you're not worried about your kids messing things up. the host makes it very inviting and a cozy feel of being at home. If it this beautiful in the summer, I can't imagine what is looks like in the winter! See you soon!
