☆☆ BEDROOMS ☆☆
Each of the cabin’s two bedrooms are furnished with comfortable, brand-new queen-sized beds, luxurious bedding, blackout blinds, and a mini-split system providing instant access to heat and air conditioning. Will you choose the downstairs bedroom with easy access to the wine fridge or the upper-level bedroom for a more lofty experience? Both bedrooms offer beautiful wood paneling that brings the feeling of nature indoors.

☆☆ BATHROOM ☆☆
The modern bathroom features sleek gray accents, a tile backsplash, and is outfitted with a rainfall overhead shower, a sink, a toilet, and other amenities. Don’t worry about packing towels, we’ve got you covered so you can pack light!

☆☆ KITCHEN ☆☆
The full kitchen is sure to please the chef of your group. The Cuisinart Air Fryer/Toaster/Convection oven can handle all of your needs! Combine this workhorse with our Instant Pot and Traeger wood pellet BBQ out back, and you'll be unstoppable when it comes to preparing delicious meals during your stay.

The cabin also has a refrigerator, small 2-burner ceramic cooktop, Pod coffee maker, and microwave oven. The cupboards are stocked with all of the kitchen gadgets you’ll need. Or be LAZY and pick up from the incredible Idyllwild restaurants listed in our welcome binder. Just don't forget to use the wine fridge while you are at it!

You can enjoy your meals at the kitchen counter (seating for two), the kitchen table (seating for four), or head outside to the outdoor dining area (seating for four) to eat while taking in the fantastic greenery views.

☆☆ LOUNGE ☆☆
The open floor plan of the main level makes it easy to hang out as a group between the kitchen and living room area. As the designated chef of your group whips up meals, you can sit back and relax on the comfy sofa and stream your favorite shows on the flat-screen TV or watch one of the beautiful sunsets from the deck.

The living room faces west, which allows you to see spectacular sunset views from the comfort of the sectional sofa. Admire the beautiful reflections or light dancing off the original stained glass window above and let the serenity of being surrounded by the forest soak in.

There is also a DVD player and blackout blinds to set the mood if you need darkness. You can use the high-speed WiFi to stream music through the Bluetooth sound bar or get some work done. Feel free to stream movies through the Lazy-A Netflix account on the 50-inch LCD TV. If you’re here only for relaxation and good times, we have an extensive collection of board games to enjoy.



The living room can be heated by the centrally located wood-burning stove and augmented by mini-split air-condition units in each bedroom if needed to take the edge off those frosty winter mornings and evenings.

☆☆ OUTDOOR SPACE ☆☆
The perfect mountain getaway wouldn’t be complete without an epic outdoor area. The newly revitalized back deck, front deck, and side deck feature incredible views, a private hot tub, an outdoor dining space, and cozy Adirondack chairs for enjoying your morning coffee or an evening glass of wine outdoors while listening to the birds chirp and the breeze rustling the leaves.

Fire up the Traeger wood pellet BBQ to cook the perfect meal and have a relaxing sway in the dual hammocks in the outdoor space. Don't forget you are in stargazing territory - we recommend downloading an app, sitting in the hot tub or on the back deck at night, and enjoying the constellations free of light pollution.

Fantastic house in a great location
We absolutely loved our stay. We stayed in early March and they still had a little snow on the ground. The amenities were great. The cooktop was a little small, but was we were able to still cook meals effectively. The deck is nice with a gorgeous morning view. The utensils were well stocked. One thing to note is that the coffee maker is not a Keurig, but a Lavazza (make note if you are pre-shopping for groceries). Beds were comfy, and the wood burning stove made the house super warm. Nice big TV downstairs, and the record player was a nice touch for dinners. The hot tub was clean and fairly new. Several nice hiking trails in the area as well as off road trails. Idyllwild is a short drive, and there are some nice town square with coffee shops and restaurants. Overall, we would love to come back and bring the kids next time! Fantastic host and a fantastic house!

Perfect Idyllwild Experience!
My partner and I spent a week at Josh’s lovely A-frame. It did not disappoint! It’s stylish, comfortable, and private with incredible views and amenities. We loved the back deck overlooking the forest with amazing sunset views. The wood stove, pellet grill, and hot tub were also awesome! There were even drinks waiting for us in the wine fridge. The only advice I would give is to bring some newspaper to get a fire going if you want to use the wood stove , but you can also grab some free papers in town like we did. Communicating with Josh was easy and he provided lots of helpful details. We would definitely stay again!

Lovely little spot. Difficult turn around and parking for Titan sized truck. If staying during cold weather bring your own firewood. Only a “starter” pack is provided (five logs for a 3 nite stay) but blankets provided were quality and warm. It’s a lovely little a-frame in the woods and a nice get away.

Loved everything about it!
Our stay at the Lazy A Frame was so great. Everything is well thought out, beautifully designed, and makes sense. It was great to be able to relax in the hot tub after a day of hiking (which still felt like new btw), or read on the balcony overlooking the forest in the morning light. We would stay here again for sure and would recommend it to friends and family for a great weekend getaway or extended stay.

Great getaway
An adorable and private little A Frame just about 10 minutes outside of Idyllwild. Everything was as listed and expected, and we appreciated the fire wood and bottle of rose and waters at check in. Highly recommended! (By the way - they are not joking about needing an appropriate vehicle to get down the private road. We had a 4WD crossover, so no issues, but a standard sedan could definitely not make the road even in the best of conditions. Luckily, there is a nearby paved road that is a short walk away, too.)

The Lazy A Frame is a beautiful little cabin with a cozy wood burning stove, a hot tub under the stars and an awesome back patio that makes you feel like you’re sitting up in the middle of the pines! I unfortunately had to cut my trip short, but am hoping to be back soon!!

A true alpine wilderness experience
I surprised my husband with a 4-day Valentine’s getaway at the Lazy-A cabin, which made for a charming base of operations for three incredible hikes: the Devil’s Slide, South Ridge to Tahquitz Peak, and the San Jacinto Peak Loop Trail. Although the cabin is located very close to the sleepy town of Idyllwild, it is quietly nestled in an area of Pine Cove that gives you a sense of real seclusion among the manzanitas, ponderosa pines, and other woodland creatures. The Lazy-A is small, yet deceptively spacious. The extremely large rear deck is great for taking in the panoramic view of the forest in the daytime or for stargazing at night. The large living/dining area is ideal for lounging in front of the fire or enjoying a good movie on the comfy sofa. We prepared meals every evening in the extremely well-appointed kitchen. We especially enjoyed the slow cooker as it enabled us to return home after a long day’s hike to a fully-cooked and hearty meal. It’s clear that Josh has his guests’ comfort in mind. The cabin was stocked with a bundle of firewood for the wood burning stove - which radiated ample warmth throughout the main living area. The bedding in both bedrooms was high quality and super comfy. There were plenty of extra conveniences: wine cooler, high speed charging stations, smart TVs that enabled us to access our streaming accounts, an abundance of extra blankets, and a brand new jacuzzi with some fun features just a few steps from the front door. As an EV driver, the level 2 charging station by the stairway leading into the cabin was the cherry-on-top for this true California wilderness experience.
