The cabin was charming and had everything we needed. The kitchen was well-stocked so that we were able to cook a festive Christmas dinner and other meals during our stay. Please note there was no grill outside, but the host provided a small "Foreman" type grill for inside use. Quite a few trails were able to be accessed directly from the property which we loved! Another note: A pack of cayote walked close to the house one afternoon. We were very glad our dogs were inside at the time.We would gladly book another stay at this adorable dog-friendly cabin! ##### Karen A. Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gina C.

The central heat was nice- we kept it at 65/66 & it was perfect. I brougt wood, but am leaving it for the next guest. As, check in is not until 4pm and we arrived at 4:30 almost dark, a better exterior lighting would have been appreciated. Your flashlights all need batteries. Otherwise, we really enjoyed our stay hre. This was a Christmas present to my mom, who used to live here in Idyllwild.w ##### Gina C.

Mar 25, 2024 #### Great, cozy home in Idyllwild near nature center and hikes This home is just a mile out of Idyllwild in the mountains and very close to the nature center where there are several hiking trails. The cabin was very clean and had everything you would need for a home away from home. Full kitchen with nice assortment of pots/pans/knives and utensils. Enjoyed the real log fireplace and strong wifi/cable tv. Master suite/bath was very nice with very comfortable bed. I was here for some hiking and relaxing while attending BNP Parabas tennis in Indian Wells. Thank you for sharing your home with me... ##### Mike ..

Aug 10, 2024 #### Peace and Solitude Peaceful and quiet cabin nestled in the woods. Clean and spacious interior. No A/C and can get quite warm in the afternoon hours. Box fans abound trying to keep things cool. A portable window AC unit in the living room would have greatly helped. Beds were somewhat uncomfortable but tolerable. Kitchen and bathroom amenities were adequate as expected. ##### Michael J. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### William W.

It was much more than we could have hoped for. Extremely clean and cozy. My only bit of advice is watch the driveway. It is NOT for a low car or with snow on the ground. It is very steep. Fortunately I brought my pickup and was able to back out of the driveway. We will be back! ##### William W. Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shannon J.

There is also a trail right near the house that allows you quick access to nature. The back patio forces you to slow down and enjoy the peacefulness that is offered around the house. The beds were very comfortable and had soft sheets which was a major plus for me. I would highly recommend this house for a peaceful getaway. We are definitely coming back with our two girls. I will note that you do have to drive to town but it’s very close. ##### Shannon J. Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Miranda B. Aug 11, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Very peaceful setting in a beautifully maintained cabin/home This cabin is located in a very quiet neighborhood about a mile from "downtown" Idyllwild. It is extremely clean and well-equipped with excellent kitchen appliances and cookware. We ate every meal at the cabin (mostly on the back deck) making full use of the extensive kitchen space and equipment. The birds and squirrels were a joy to watch and photograph. Despite the heat, the temperature in the cabin was comfortable due to the shade from surrounding trees and use of window fans. This was my 3rd visit to the Elk Horn cabin (the other 2 being over 25 years ago!) and it is still a wonderful as ever! ##### Miranda B. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cindy V.

Super super comfy beds in both rooms, and the two oversized recliners were so perfect! Convenient location to the Nature Center, and Deer Springs Trailhead. We had a nice walk to the nature center. A quick drive to town. Kitchen is clean, organized, and equipped for meals. We ate most of our meals in home. The deck is comfortable,quiet, and removed from close neighbors. Only suggestion is to have spare tp and facial tissue on hand. We may have missed it. Love the home and we hope to revisit soon!! ##### Cindy V.

Sep 16, 2024 #### A peaceful retreat in the pines We love coming to stay in the "cozy cabin" in the woods! Inside, the cabin is warmly and quaintly decorated and spotlessly clean, and generously stocked with everything you need for cool nights; tons of pillows, blankets and throws for the beds or in front of the fireplace, a fully equipped kitchen for cooking, and 2 spacious bathrooms with lots of towels. Since the cabin is nestled in a hollow, the trees surround the deck and provide peace and privacy. Having coffee on this deck in the morning is my favorite thing to do here; Stellar Jays, nuthatches and other birds come in close along with the squirrels. There is also a small herd of deer that walks through the yard and stops to graze here. It's only 5 minutes from town and has hiking trails leading out from the back yard that we took advantage of. The peace, quiet and fresh air here is so rejuvenating and good for the soul; we will definitely be back! ##### Dorian R. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Heather A.
