4X4 OR CHAINS MAY BE REQUIRED DURING WINTER SEASON IN IDYLLWILD! (Message us for more info)
No parties allowed. Our home is in a quiet neighborhood, so we kindly ask guests to respect our neighbors.
At The Hideaway you will experience 2 floors with 4 unique bedrooms, 3 decks, a front patio and 1 acre of land for everyone to hang out, play or relax. While a couple neighboring homes exist and you may catch a glimpse of the occasional neighbor from the back deck, our unique orientation is private, allowing you to unwind practically undisturbed. The perfect escape for those seeking peaceful retreats.
It is a must to enjoy the 6 person hot tub with privacy wall on the front deck or walk out on the westward facing 40 foot deck and catch a beautiful Idyllwild sunset while sitting in front of the propane fire pit. Nothing like waking up to enjoy the primary bedroom patio with your coffee/tea and mountain views. Also an amazing spot for sunsets and wine.
*The Hideaway has a rustic vibe and some of the natural wear and tear adds to its charm. It is a very nice and comfortable cabin, however it may not fit the 'luxury' label. If you seek a more upscale experience, you might want to explore other options. Being in the mountains, you may encounter occasional dust and leaves on patios/decks due to the windy conditions. While we do our best to keep everything tidy, perfection isn't always possible. If you notice any cleanliness issues, safety concerns, or amenities not working as expected, please don't hesitate to reach out to us! This is one of things we take a lot of pride in and our dedicated team will promptly address any issues to ensure you have a delightful stay.
*Blazing Fast Fiber internet with speeds up to 500 mbps!

If you are not comfortable with this aspect of the mountains, please consider another option.

For everyone’s safety and peace of mind, we have a few outdoor security cameras on the property (none face the hot tub, so your privacy is respected). These cameras are used to monitor guest numbers and property security. Only the registered number of guests are permitted on the property—unapproved visitors or extra guests are strictly prohibited.
