Cottage vacation rentals in San Jacinto

Hi, We had a great time at storybook cottage. Everything was excellent. Only have one comment. We would have like to use the spa. We attempted twice to turn it on and get it warm up. But we’re unsuccessful. The first day, we turned it on too late. Didn’t realize it takes hours to warm up. Second night we turn it on early in the day allowing it to warm up for about 5 hours. When we realize it turned off and water was still the same temperature. I think you should check the spa. We were looking forward to using it. Not our luck! Best, Janessa S.

We had a great stay here! The cottage/cabin is very cute and was very clean. They offer fun amenities like a hot tub, darts, board games… the location is a bit far out from the main spots in Joshua Tree, but is very close to two yummy restaurants (La Copine and Great Rock Meeting Room). My only quibble is that we wanted to spend a night cozy watching movies on the couch, and the furniture and TV placement is not very conducive to that unless you want to hang out on the bed. That said, we had a great stay and would recommend it to anyone looking for a getaway with nice amenities!

Chris was a great host, very responsive and helpful when needed. Directions were clear upon check in and check out. Would definitely stay here again!

Place was really awesome when inside. Driving up from the outside you kind of get a weird feeling because you think it’s not what you expected. Once inside and in the backyard you know that it’s just what the pictures showed. Place was really spacious and entertaining for my family and I. The one thing that I would have loved is there’s one room that is attached to a bathroom that is locked from the entrance of the room and the bathroom that would have been awesome if it was available to us because the couch bed is a little old and not that comfortable. Other than that the pool, the slide and the jacuzzi were so much fun. One thing I suggest is maybe bringing your own pest spray because there are a lot of earwigs outside the house and in the house. Overall I would stay here in the future.

We had a lovely stay! The location was really nice and close to everything. The best part was the hot tub after a cold day tubbing with the kids.. Great price, great location, had a great a time.

Staying at the Cozy Cottage was an amazing experience! I booked the cabin for a weekend trip as a Valentine’s Day present, and our stay there was perfect. Mary Ann & Chuck were both very helpful, they guided us to an alternate route to the cabin to avoid an icy/snowy hill, and made sure we got there okay. As far as the cabin itself goes, there’s really nothing bad to say. The heaters upstairs and downstairs work great, and they work fast. You don’t need to go above 68° to really feel warm. The water pressure & heat in the shower is great, the bathroom’s immaculately clean, and very well-themed! The master bedroom is also very well put together. Everything is labeled, but non-obstructively; you only see them when you need them! We made sure to follow the guide & instructions in welcome packet & introductory e-mail, and we had no questions. Check-out was very flexible, and the amenities are amazing. Make sure to sign the guest book if you visit :) 10/10!!

Thank you Dawn ! This place was a blessing

Such a beautiful, cozy cottage. Just as described, fully stocked kitchen, linens, towels and very comfortable beds. Beautiful setting with a lovely view, very private with access to the hot tub and pool. On sight massage and other spa treatments if you so choose were an incredible bonus. Kristin is very kind and professional. You will not be disappointed.

The place is absolutely gorgeous. It feels like you are in the middle of the forest . Is small but just enough for a couple and has all you need. The view is breathtaking and the sunrise is incredible.Lisa made our stay very memorable. We will come back

Kelly’s house is beautiful my family and I loved it very peaceful. The view is amazing. House is exactly like the pictures kitchen/bathroom was fully stocked. I would definitely book again.

This is our second year spending Thanksgiving at Emmett’s Place. There was surprisingly little traffic on the ride up to Big Bear, so Emmett let us check in hours early. Emmett is a responsive, proactive, and friendly host, whose house and furnishings are attractive and very comfortable. My dog loved the fenced-in yard. My adult daughter and I had the best, most relaxing time. Our favorite place in Big Bear is inside Emmett’s house.

Wonderful little bungalow close to downtown. The lake, and Skydive Lake Elsinore! Will stay again

was a great place and we had great time, he was always responsive when needed, we look forward to coming back again

This is the third time we’ve stayed at this home. Our family absolutely loves it! The host is extremely responsive and accommodating. The home is well-stocked and stylish. The location is beautiful and convenient. We’ve made a lot of good memories here and will be back in the future.

We enjoyed our stay very much, it’s a very peaceful area. Very secluded and beautiful.

The cabin was clean and as described/pictures. It was a great location close to the lake and good sledding spots. The rooms are spacious, the water was hot and the wifi was strong. Would recommend staying here for sure! I give my highest ratings but think it's worth noting for future guests that (as pictured) there is only a table for 4 people. There are extra chairs but a coffee table or something other than the high bar would be nice with a group of 6+. The kitchen is stocked but missing some essentials (like salt and pepper). Also, when we arrived the heat was off and it was 42* in the cabin which took nearly 24 hours to get to a comfortable temperature and upstairs never really got very warm. There were enough blankets to keep us warm at night though. Also, we ended up with an extra $25 charge for "wasted power usage" which I'm not sure what that's about. Overall we had a lovely time and would like to return!

A big thanks to David & Veronika for letting us stay at their beautiful place! My gf and I were there for my 50th bday. We wanted to visit Temecula, wine taste, horseback and visit all the great eateries, including the casino. It was our 1st time visiting Temecula. Well let me tell you! Not only was it a beautiful cozy private place, but the views were amazing, including the hot air balloons in the am. David & Veronikas place is very very near great wineries and old town, not to mention the casino. We will be back. Would also like to mention we loved listening to the owls, and nature late night. Thank you both for allowing our amazing stay. Mario & Mali m&m

Kira took me in after I lost my home in the Eaton fires. Her kindness and empathy has made a stressful and difficult time easier to navigate. She has such a beautiful energy. Her magical home is a healing sanctuary. A place that not only could I feel safe and begin the healing process, but one that is so visually stimulating and creative that by being in the space and outdoor surroundings, you feel you can take on anything in the world. She has poured so much love into her home and the design of her yard that you can't help but feel enveloped by it. The nature surrounding the area is so grounding. Kira's place truly is a magical wonderland.

Yvette was so helpful and responsive throughout our trip. She had a lot of good advice. The cabin is just like the pictures. A few drawbacks for our family was that it is located right above a fairly busy road. My peaceful mornings weren’t, because of the car noise. But, if the family was up and talking, we couldn’t hear it. Also, the sliding doors on both levels, dining room window, and kitchen window, do not have curtains or blinds on them. They let in a lot of light and a lot of cold air. There was no insulation. There is actually a gap between the slider and the wall where cold air was just coming in. I will attach a picture. Overall, it was a great getaway for us. I just wanted to be honest about the things I didn’t like.

Nancy’s Cozy Cabin was perfect for a relaxing and quiet weekend getaway. Just what was needed. Nancy provided directions to the cabin and detailed “house rules.” She is an outstanding host. Plan to return. Thank you Nancy! ❤️

Great location! Wineries were not too far and the area was peaceful. The place was clean and just as described. I will be back.

Carlos's place was simple and enjoyable. It was 15 minutes from the ski resort and walking distance from a bar and a general store. The living room was what stood out for us, playing poker and watching movies on comfy couches while making drinks at the bar. Overall worth the money, it was clean and easy to find, and the kitchen was supplied with everything we needed. Perfect for a great weekend in Big Bear!

Perfect place for a couple for a weekend in nature! Booked Jaime's cottage for a wedding at the venue down the road and it was the ideal location. Looks just like the photos. Morning coffee on the back patio listening to the birds was a great break from city life!

It was a nice place. Would definitely stay again
