Exactly what I was hoping for, and even better in several ways. House is welcoming, spacious for our family of 4, and cozy. Quiet at the end of a cul de sac backing the forest. Terrace is very pleasant with plenty of birds, squirrels and chipmunks visiting. Owner is very responsive. An adventure pass is provided (required to park at trailheads). All appliances work well, there are plenty of pots, pans and utensils for cooking, as well as coffee and filters. We loved the fireplace (high quality firewood is provided), reclining armchairs, heated blankets, board games, and all the nice touches around the house. That was our first time in Idyllwild and we'd probably try to rent the same place if we return!
