Mindfully designed to help you disconnect to reconnect, the Zen Den does NOT have a television. Also, it should be noted that the Zen Den tiny house sits on the same property as 2 other wellness cabins, with a beautiful communal outdoor space in addition to your private outdoor space. We invite you to meet and commune with fellow travelers in the "Gathering Grove" under towering Cedars and Manzanita Trees - complete with cozy Adirondack chairs, a hammock, and tree-shaded benches throughout... but if solo quiet time is more your thing, you can chill in your private backyard area.
Your exclusive outdoor space features a 4 season hammock, cozy patio furniture, outdoor solar lights, Weber gas grill, and beautiful nature views to enjoy.
Round out your trip with a beautiful meal at Alpaca Cafe, or a morning coffee at Alpaca Coffee and Tea - located just a 10-minute walk down the road. The town center of Idyllwild is a quick 3-minute drive from the property, or a beautiful 30-minute walk - along with hiking trails accessible within a 5-10 minute drive in all directions.
