Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Idyllwild-Pine Cove

As former residents of Idyllwild, we were so impressed with this little cabin! It is perfectly located- you’re close enough to town that you can walk, but far away enough for privacy and quiet. We were here during the spring and loved having the option to make a fire in the evening when it got chilly. The house itself is very minimalist, but tasteful. The only thing we wish we had was a washer/dryer because we stayed for a week and would’ve loved the option to clean our clothes during our stay. But overall, definitely recommend this location to anyone visiting the town.

David’s place is even better than the photos. Charming, FULLY stocked with kitchen supplies, roomy and well cared for. We enjoyed using the fireplace and cooking in the kitchen, which has anything you could need, including spices.

Great place. Very bright and roomy. The soaking tub was super relaxing. Loved the deck and wandering around the property. It was close to the nature center and town. Great place and great host!

This was a wonderful little mountain oasis that was perfect for me and my dogs. The back deck is wonderful for relaxing, listening to the creek, and watching all the birds and squirrels. My dogs especially liked chasing the squirrels. The walking trail behind the house gives you easy quick access to town without having to drive. It also extends a good 2 miles beyond town for those that want to stretch their legs or give their dogs a long walk. The house had all the things I needed. And the hosts were very gracious in explain everything I needed to know about the house from food storage to lights. I will definitely be back again to stay at this house.

beautiful accommodation! marisa was really accommodating and gave plenty local recommendations. amenities were fully stocked with organic wellness products and we felt right at home. thank you so much we will be back!

This is a dream mountain house! My husband and I absolutely loved everything about it! Gorgeous views in every room. Spacious living area with high ceilings, decorated with such great taste, sophistication and restraint. Well equipped kitchen, nicely remodeled bathrooms, spacious master bedroom with comfortable bed, a deck with endless views... And what a wonderful host: Astrid was so generous and kind, truly welcoming! We can't wait to stay here again!

I absolutely loved my stay here and don’t think the photos did it justice! The surrounding views were great to wake up to and it felt like we had so much privacy. Everything was clean inside, the bed was comfy, and the vibe was very homey. The house was very cold when we arrived, but the loft area heated up quickly! We didn’t utilize the wood burner stove, but would definitely recommend for colder weather. We also used the hot tub which worked perfectly fine. Overall we had a great stay and will definitely be back, thanks Alexander 😊

We enjoyed our stay at Julee and Ross’ lodge. The place was very clean, even the floors were spotless. It’s toddler friendly with books and games to keep them entertained. Also had a few fun visitors like chipmunks and lizards to watch out the window. Area is quiet and peaceful and a quick drive into town. Kudos to Ross for being super responsive and sending us detailed instructions. Thank you!

An excellent choice for accommodation—clean, secure, and with great amenities. Whether you're traveling for work or leisure, this place delivers comfort and convenience. I’d happily stay here again and highly recommend it to others!

she was very understanding and when I told her we didn't have a spatula and no sugar she brought it within 20 minutes and I really appreciated it also check-in was amazing it was easy to get to easy to get in very clean which is awesome post and even a check out I wasn't out at exactly 11:00 and she understood because we had to take trips to my mom's so very understanding host and amazing place I would totally recommend her everyday

Fernando's place was super clean and cozy, especially for a short getaway! The stay was extremely close to town yet far away from the hustle and bustle. I loved how clean the whole Airbnb was and the bed was so comfy!! The water got warm and the heaters were perfect for the cold nights. Thank you for letting us stay! We'll be back :)

Christy’s place was perfect. As soon as we walked in we noticed it smelled great & how beautifully decorated it was. Amenities are great. Comfy bed, Smart TVs, snacks, candy, towels, pool accessories and they even have a hair diffuser for us curly haired girls. Bonus: this was my first Airbnb that had actual spices other than salt to cook!!!! The property is great. Quiet. Calm. Pool & jacuzzi right outside the patio. We didn’t want to leave. Christy was a great host and easy to communicate with. Look forward to staying here again soon.

Karen was always responsive and the crew was very helpful with recommendations on things to see. Very clean, peaceful. Would definitely stay here again!

Always an amazing experience, spectacular views! The studio is beautifully equipped and it makes you feel right at home. There’s no disturbance with surrounding neighbors and it is a gated property.

Very clean and great location. Shane was very attentive and quick to respond if anything was needed. Comfy place, I would certainly stay again!

Jay's place was honestly, perfect. The complex is lovely and charming. Jay's unit was clean and pristine. And Jay was an excellent host and communicator. I felt so at peace in the unit and at the complex and enjoyed the quiet environment - and at the same time the ability to get to anything I needed within just a few minutes by car. I would highly recommend this Airbnb to anyone looking for an enjoyable stay in the Palm Springs area. Thanks for a great stay, Jay!

Great location… Very close to a wonderful neighborhood for walking and chilling

Very pleased with our stay here! This rental was exactly what we needed for a relaxing getaway to the desert! The outdoor space is quiet and super-private. We never saw or heard any neighbors, but watched hummingbirds spar overhead as we lounged by the pool. The pool is clean and perfect for floating all afternoon, looking out at the mountains. The spa is a great way to relax under the stars after dinner. The location was great. Close enough to downtown to be a quick drive when hot, or a reasonable stroll when it's cooler. And I appreciated being able to talk an early morning jog around the area. We didn't spend much time indoors, but it's a light, airy, and comfortable space. The kitchen is up-to-date and well-appointed. Communication with the hosts and their assistant was friendly, transparent, and proactive. Very nice people! We will gladly rent this place again when we return to PS for a desert getaway! Highly recommended!

Jerry and Craig have a wonderful, beautiful, and quiet place. As someone born and raised in Palm Springs, it was absolutely gorgeous getting to wake up to the view especially with such an inviting pool and backyard. It reminded me of when I was little. There’s a bunch of walkable places such as Koffi and an ice cream shop as well as clothing stores and a steakhouse. Jerry was an amazing communicator and checked in on multiple occasions to make sure we and our dogs had everything we needed. It was great to go and visit, and we are already looking by forward to our next stay!

We loved staying in this fabulous condo at the iconic Ocotillo Lodge, designed by famed midcentury modern architect William Krisel. Although the once spectacular public rooms at the Lodge are now shuttered, the grounds have been beautifully restored with cactus and succulents, and the large landmark champagne-cork shaped pool is beautifully maintained, serenaded (quietly) through the day with delightful recordings of classic Great American Songbook music of the 50's. The Brite Spot condo itself has been wonderfully decorated with handsome vintage furniture and lighting, a very comfortable bed, and beautiful terrazzo tile floors, and boasts a lovely little courtyard with a great old olive tree that throughout the day hosts various singing desert birds. The Lodge no longer has a working bar or restaurant, but coffee, cocktails, great food, and the sights and attractions of Palm Springs - including Krisel's justly famed Twin Palms community - are all just minutes away.

This was my first time visiting Palm Springs and my stay could not have been better. This unit added so much fun, mid-century charm to my experience with beautiful design and amenities. The little details, like the record player, tiki cup collection, and antique furnishings give this unit a vibe that immediately puts you in a vacation mindset. The building was quiet and peaceful, making for a great respite from adventures downtown. I also appreciated that the location is a bit more off the beaten path, but still walkable to some incredible coffee shops and restaurants. Plus, getting to downtown is a breeze with Ubers/Lyfts taking less than 15 minutes. The cherry on top is the building's pool. It feels like you're lounging on a movie set straight out of the 1950's. We went multiple times a day throughout our trip to swim, sunbathe, and relax. We really appreciated that it wasn't a crowded party area, but rather a peaceful place to lounge. Can't recommend this unit enough!

Our stay at Vista Mirage was easy, centrally located and reasonably priced. They texted daily asking if we needed anything.

This is our second stay at Steve’s, and it’s always a pleasure. The welcoming atmosphere makes us feel right at home. Steve’s hospitality shines through with clear entry instructions and prompt responsiveness whenever we reach out. The hot tub, conveniently located right outside the door, adds to the charm. We always check the availability of his place before considering any other options.

Juliana was a great host! Super responsive and her local recommendations in her guidebook were great. The space was perfect for two people and we loved being able to unplug without a TV. We had a great time and would recommend booking Juliana’s place if you’re looking for a cozy spot in Idyllwild!
