Strawberry Creek Retreat: Refined A-Frame Cabin W/AC
Our cabin is the perfect pet-friendly getaway with new central air conditioning. The open A-Frame cabin is tucked away on a quiet street yet is just minutes away from the picturesque shops and restaurants in the center of town. Humber Park trailhead is within walking distance of the cabin providing easy access to the Ernie Maxwell and Devils Slide trails. Strawberry Creek runs through the back yard creating a peaceful atmosphere and a lovely sensory experience when the creek is running. The space Inside you will find high ceilings and windows that show off the beautiful scenery and create plenty of light. The downstairs features open architecture that A-frame cabins are known for and include a gas stove, chef’s kitchen, and wine fridge for making unforgettable meals. Our favorite spot in the cabin is a cozy reading nook that sits next to the wood-burning fireplace and looks out onto the creek. You’ll often see deer outside sipping from the creek or running through the snow.
The Outside offers a spacious fenced-in deck off the kitchen with a natural gas Weber BBQ, and a large table for entertaining and enjoying alfresco dining. The deck is the perfect spot to enjoy the scenery and the quiet of the surrounding woods with views of both the creek and the mountains in the distance.

This is the second time I’ve rented this cabin. It’s very comfortable and in a great location. Lots of deer sightings out the living room windows. We’ll definitely be back.

We loved staying here. The view was amazing! The windows in the living room gave you front row seats to watching the deer go up and down the creek. The cabin was beautiful and spacious! It was also so close to the town. I would highly recommend this cabin to anyone looking for a cabin in Idyllwild.

It was exactly what we were looking for and the listing was accurate and helpful. The loft was fun for the kids and the view out the back windows was as good as we were hoping it would be. We would stay here again.

This property was the perfect winter escape we were looking for. Excellent upgrades through the house and excellent views of the creek running behind the house. There was enough room in the back for a little sledding and there were some great areas to hike nearby. When heading back into the area we will definitely be looking for this listing again.

We stayed here over a weekend to spend time with family and to be close to Idyllwild Arts for a camp pick-up. The house was gorgeous and a great fit for our family. It was nice to be a quick drive into the village and up to Humber Park. The house location is wonderful with views of Suicide Rock and Tahquitz Rock from the front and the beautiful babbling Strawberry Creek in the back. Also, Alex was very responsive with a couple of minor issues we had.

This cabin was perfect for a short getaway for the 4 of us. Because of crazy weather, we had to shorten our stay….but we will definitely come back. The owner was so responsive and very thoughtful. Thank you!

What an amazing cabin, clean, stocked and beautiful. Close to downtown and hiking trails. Cabin has everything you need, and it’s so beautiful looking out the windows seeing, trees, snow, dear and squirrels. So magical

Great place and space. Only downside? Lots of dog hair. If you are going to charge $100 extra cleaning fee for those who have brought pets in the past, then there shouldn't be so much dog hair. Whoever cleans it might be taking your money without providing the extra cleaning for pets.

The cabin was perfect for family of 6. Beautiful, spacious and serene. Nighttime stars gazing is amazing. Small Strawberry 🍓 Creek right in the back yard. Just enough for the little ones to enjoy.
Great memories made that we will cherish forever

Cottage is cozy, well appointed and clean. Loft (of course) is completely open, so put your heavy sleepers up there. The deck and view and SOUND of the stream (at least in April) was incredible. It was warm enough to sit & read out there in the afternoon. Come for that alone! We loved our stay.

Between the soothing sounds of Strawberry Creek, and the views of Taquitz Peak, what’s not to like? The home was as described and suited our group’s needs perfectly. The Fern Vally area is simply a magical place. Would definitely return. Thanks for the hospitality.
